I had to get the Dodge Caravan because it was affordable, designed for what it can do, and is very simple.

I like how he commented on the psychological part getting beyond the minivan Part. We have a hard time getting our Kids in our Highlander in our small garage sometimes!

Just purchased a 2016 Grand Caravan very same color as the one above. Had a new 2006 Town and Country and put 280,000 before head engine went out. Only thing I ever did was an occasional water pump or alternator every 75,000 miles. Transmission was still good at 280,000.

I got a 2015 Grand Caravan new. Did a TON of research on it and others and a big selling point for me was the Stow N Go. LOVE that feature. I use it often. I also prefer the sporty design of the GC. I got the Blacktop package. I stayed away from getting too many bells and whistles. I am 6' 9" and I enjoy driving the GC for long road trips. The interior is not the best buy any means and is outdated but I'm ok with that. I like the overall sporty style and the Stow n Go is amazingly useful. I knew the Pacifica was right around the corner but I NEVER buy a new car the first 2/3 years a new model/generation is introduced. Overall I prefer the Pacifica for it's interior but I prefer the Grand Caravan for it's exterior design. And the van is almost paid off so not looking to start over again with a car note. Bought the lifetime warranty so I'll be driving it for a long while. Glad I purchased it.

They should’ve kept the column shifter on the Dodge Grand Caravan. Would have been nice to have that design again.

I wish they had AWD... Or an off road van.....I own a 2006 grand caravan ,still runs great.... For me it's a work vehicle but also use it as a camper for hunting & fishing.....

Good stuff guys! My 14 Grand Caravan w/126,000 miles (bought w/45,000) has been great. Other than a few minor problems it's been very dependable. It's funny how "disrespected" these things are. Considered dated, bland, soccer mom rides, etc., they're the butt of many jokes. When I was in high school, if you had a vehicle with almost 300 hp, disc brakes, good stereo, 6 spd tranny; you had a hot car! Like Wranglers, they should keep pumping em out without messing with them. They're kind of like the last of the "old school" breed. That appeals to me and why I'd choose one over the "gimmicky" Pacificas and Voyagers.

I'm in love with the Grand Caravan!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

This car/van can be a classic, its been on roads in many numbers and for years its going to be memorable car.

Love Grand Caravan Limited Edition -193,000 miles and no major repairs

What is not mentioned is the Dodge Grand Caravan to date is the most popular conversion vans for wheelchairs which keeps it relevant.

I bought mine brand new in 2019 SXT premium plus. A fantastic van, seats 7, seats are all stow n go, has a DVD player, heated seats, remote starter, leather seats. Etc. There’s soo much it offers for the price that no other van offers. Honestly Honda and Toyota are overly hyped and priced.

I bought a '16 Grand Caravan SXT premium plus for 44k plus tax. I love everything about it, the engine is smooth and powerful, great on fuel and dependable. The kids have a DVD player for long (or short) trips to keep them entertained. It's white with the granite alloy wheels which looks really good lol I've put 36,000kms on it so far with zero issues.

I prefer the classic squared look of the Grand Caravan. The Pacifica is very nice, my neighbor just bought a new 2023 Pacifica Pinnacle, for $55,000.00! They traded their 2018 Cadillac Escalade for the Pacific, and like it much better than the Cadillac.

I bought a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T 3.6L i got all the bells and whistle on my van with discount rebates i got my new van around for $28,000 plus taxs the deal was too good to let it pass by me do 2years later i am still in love with my dodge. Toyota and honda there over price vehicles models are starting at 31k for a Base models.

Made in Canada matters. I did a lot of research. As a family always "Best-Bang for the Buck" is in the back of my mind. Honda, Toyota, Hyundai/Kia. Not worth the extra money. Your not just paying extra, your paying interest on the extra. Unless you walk into a dealership with 40K + cash in your pocket. your paying interest. All imports rust.All imports get stained by kids. Import parts and labour is more expensive, because your showing your mechanic you are willing to pay more. A -ha. Chrysler Caravans made in Windsor-Ontario-Canada, are fantastic people-tires-tools-plywood-groceries-friend moving day-day at the beach-cottage-vacations to USA-extended family-even ...even...compost(wife almost left me-(1 full day to steam and clean later). Building and selling 30 Years going. Number 1 selling mini-van Hundreds of Thousands can't be wrong. Canada CVP off the lot 22K all in beat that.5 years no issues.10 on my previous even sold it off for $600 he took it for the engine??? For the money will the Honda last 20 years, if it does, do your really want it to last 20 years....for stains...odours...fit...and repairs.Do the math over 20 years of repairs..$$$$$$ Remember repairs over the lifetime of a vehicle will always be more expensive than a replacement. Best Bang for the Buck....Hummmm research and you decide. Homework is yours.Don't be lazy! Or.......... Repeat after me......"Why didn't i get one sooner". Dodge Caravan ....Duuuu. LOL! Kids are getting to me..

They should continue the tradition with them sharing the smae body style.

My dad booked Chrysler Pacifica for our trip from LA to Seattle on July with an overnight stop in Oregon. Excited to see scenic view

I recently went shopping for new minivan , and looked at the Sedona and Grand Caravan. The Grand Caravan was $45.000CDN and the Sedona was $34.000CDN with comparable features. The Caravan was knocked down to $35.000CDN for year end incentives. It did not take much reaserch to end up buying the KIA. I wonder if Chrysler was able to overcome the transmission issues related to Dodge Caravan ?

The Grand Caravan GT is the 1 for me

I bought a new 2015 Grand Caravan and love it except for the horrible gas mileage and I’m a slow driver. No major problems after 3 years. Only problem was a window regulator.

I want the Chrysler Grand Caravan because it was so cool he has electric mode

it replaced the Town & Country not the Caravan

Had the 2014 caravan now got the 2017 Pacific and only paid 28 thousand but both vans are great

I have a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica with 110 thousand miles and it already has Camshaft sensor problems, the bad thing that the mechanics can't fix it because it has so many senors and they need sophisticated equipment I went to the dealer and they gave me an appointment for 15 days because they are full 🤦‍♂️ I recommend the Dodge grand caravan, the parts are easily found, they don't have as many sensors and the mechanics fix it easily. 👍

The reason why the GMC Acadia is bulky is because the GMC Acadia is a full-size crossover SUV. GM Lambda platform trucks are big full-size crossovers.

They should have compared the Dodge in a beautiful wine red color with the Pacifica in the boring silver color. Which van looks better than?

I like the style of the grand caravan as the pacifica is ugly. The Grand caravan was around for 36 yrs which is one hell of a run.

Toyota & Honda is on the top of this category of vehicles, but the Chrysler/Dodge will always be numero UNO for me. #MiniVANmurrica✊

Keep rear bench seats makes life easier

I LOVE the Grand Caravan.❤️❤️🥰

The Pacifica and the Caravan both aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. In fact the Pacifica is just a rebranding of the Chrysler Town and Country. It’s the same vehicle, just upscaled. The question is if they’re going to keep the 3 options they have now or if they’re gonna drop one.

When I saw a Chrysler Pacifica it was white on Pemberton McDonald it's so quiet I cannot even hear the sound on outside the Chrysler Pacifica

50 grand for the Pacifica, bought a brand new caravan CVP for 19 thousand dollars.

The Pacifica needs the gear - / gear + buttons on the steering wheel like RAM trucks. Not being able to manually shift the transmission is a deal breaker. I'll stick with the GC.

Caravan has a truck like suspension, stiffer than Toyota Sienna.

My Mom Used to have a dodge grand caravan now she has a gmc terrain

When I'm on McDonald's Pemberton I saw a Chrysler Pacifica it has electric mode I cannot hear the sound I can always hear the starting mode but it's too little me to hear that

If I spent $60,000 on a Pacifica, and it only lasted 20,000 miles is several here in the Detroit area before the transmission is having issues, mostly because they put a 9 speed transmission in that doesn't have enough clutch plates to actually do the job. I'd be really tempted to Ram it up the company presidents ass. Put a 4-speed transmission with an Overdrive. The 3.6 is more than capable of getting the same fuel mileage regardless of which of those two Transmissions is in it.

All new minivans are very high prices for me still the caravan a good van

The Grand Caravan is the better van, they should have just kept building the Town and country which was the same van just more fancier options. The Pacifica is ugly. The Grand caravan is so versatile even if you don't have a family . I love mine . With stow and ago seats I can easily haul my historic displays, music equipment when I am gigging. Haul trays of bread for the VFW. and can open the floor up and bingo have seats again to haul people when needed with out having to lift and pull out seats like you do with the Honda,toyota, kia vans. Many are used as taxis, corporate vehicles ,delivery etc. even the U.S. Postal service has some. The ride is better than most cars on the market today. I am 6ft 2 tall and 250 1bs and ride very comfortably in the Grand Caravan have owned a 1993.2008, and currently a 2013. I say you cant go wrong with one. The only minivan I like. Didn't like the 1996-07 caravans though hated that egg shape.

I like how both of these cars are made of the same company.

Whan you want a van... You want a work horse not a swan. The caravan does the job and the town and country was the step up... A decent step up. Pacifica is design more as a shuttle with commercial applications hense the luxury feel. I still can't get over the fact that they let the gear shift melt into an electronic knob. Totally wrong.

I love them both but I like the caravan the best. Still, I have to admit the Pacifica looks good in red. I hope I can get one of these someday.

I would watch it, but the "ahm" before every sentence drives me insane.

Pacifica is 50,000? Where's the built in video? Is there a rear heat and air? Are the rear seats push button sto and go? Are the engines similar horsepower? Looks like the Pacifica is just dressier, not more of anything else.

I drive both iterations for work every day, I actually prefer the 2015.. It's not trying to pretend it's not a minivan, now the Pacifica is nice but the grand caravan just fits me better!

How big is the rear cargo area on the Grand Caravan with all the seats stowed? can you fit a 4'x8' foot piece of plywood in the back when all the seats are stowed?

the Pacifica is a lot safer, so is the better choice

That's the most fastest minivan but faster than Caravan but faster than the KIA Carnival

DODGE!!

Between Pacifica and Grand Caravan, which of the two has more space for a family with 6 people traveling, carrying suitcases and with the seat of 1 seat in the third row (there are 2+1 in the third row) retracted ???

Which was is roomier when seats are removed? Looking to convert one into a minicampervan.

Love it

I had town and country since 1998 and the 2012 and Up. seat are not as confortable as the 2006 and older models.

Too bad they stopped selling the Grand Caravan in The USA!

Could have at least done the T&C

The Pacific and the Grand Caravan are Basically Brothers.

I prefer a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica as my future van. 3 Reasons: 1) A very luxury, reliable and affordable van that gets me around where I want/need to be. 2) I can carry many passengers and carry a lot of stuff with me. 3) Really decent on gas and better mileage. I recommend anyone who wants to buy a brand new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica as their van. Your future van is waiting for you. Don’t do nothing, get your van today right now.

Pacifica: Top Safety Pick+ Grand Caravan: Poor On Small Overlap

I just bought this grand caravan what do you mean they are planning to scrap it in the near future.

eh Vorano Bros., come data?

Sophisticated, nice looking, modern, better driving, pretty, more features. vs Same practicality and uglier with basically the same platform. WHICH ONE IS YOUR STYLE? Are you willing to pay more? The Grand Caravan is the ONLY UBER Value package van, with a powerful V6 (the same one that powers the more powerful full size RAM Promaster) that more people can afford and therefore it has staying power. Having said that, it is NOT sophisticated and feels cheap when compared to the Pacifica, Toyota's Sienna, Honda Odyssey or the Korean Offerings.

Where should I go or Check (web pages or links) to buy a minivan 2004 to 2010 minivan?

i got the 2010 dodge caravan with the 3.3 engine and 4 speed auto lots of room for techs to work on the engine and simple transmission only problem BRAKES very bad!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2013 FCA finally updated the brakes all round with bigger rotors and 2 piston calipers !!!! Also updated Engine with 270 HP ( Very tight Engine Bay ) hard to change plugs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who would Spend $60k on a Minivan ??????????????? Would get a F150 for that price !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how are they rivals if they're under the same company

both made in Canada by proud Europeans.

Dodge caravna for the dad Chrysler pacifica for the mom

How long will they build the Pacifica?

2017 Dodge Grand Caravan?

It's not arrival they're the same car.... Do you not realize that they brought back the Pacifica with the same body style that the original Dodge caravan was and that's why that they replaced the Dodge caravan in Town & country with the new body style for the Pacifica for the same car the same company same platform they're not rivals at all do your research better

basically just a review for the pacifica

All the light's on the dash all went on, and the wind shield wipers, in my 2014 Town and Country van. Drove me crazy, still can't find the reason. Do you have any tips??? Any video's you recommend?

50 grand for a minivan ehhhhh not really fealing it I have to go with the Dodge Grand Caravan

The grand caravan looks way nicer. The Pacifica looks like a piece of melted plasticine that was shaped with a hairdryer.

Now if they kept the old Swivel N' Go chairs as an option and the Table and satellite T.V option, it would've been -WAAAYY- better than the Pacifica (not way better, but more like a budget limo lol)

The caravan and tnc are classics,I don’t know why they replaced with the stupid Pacifica 😢😢😢😢😢

Dodge caravan is now dead 💀 RiP great van built for many years dodge is stupid for doing that that was the best selling van

The pacifica should have been the new grand caravan, what a dumb move by FCA

looks like Opel Zafira

what a terrible review

Chrysler and Dodge are owned by Fiat Chrysler automobiles

IDK why anyone would purchase the Pacifica when the Kia Sedona and Honda Odyssey exist

Town and country is better grand caravan is cheap and it sucks

Pacifica is better
