It's very sad, the rusty swiss cheese holes have taken over a childhood favorite of mine. I still want an 01-07 Caravan someday as a road trip companion to my Grand Prix.
MW made a mistake with the powertrains. The 3.3 and 3.8L are pushrod 12v engines, not DOHC 24v. In 2007-11 there was a 4.0L SOHC 24c V-6 available though
Yeah I just noticed they said that. Looking at the engines with the valve covers being skinny you can tell they are pushrod engines. They probably meant to say Overhead valve which is a standard pushrod setup term. I have an 03 Grand Caravan Sport which we use for family trips. It's been a good van.
So was this 3.3 and 3.8 and later 4.0l the same as the k based gen1/1.5 , 3liter poweplants? From the early 90s? Car guy but I'm not Mopar savvy, I know there was a dsm (mitsubishi) 2liter /3liter v6 in the 90s , is that engine related to this or no?
@@Long-nd8bq in fairness, the 3.5 and 4.0L SOHC 24v are based off the 3.3 and 3.8L pushrod units though. Similar to the GM 3.4L DOHC was based off the 3.1L pushrod and the Ford SHO 3.0L DOHC was based off the 3,0L Vulcan pushrod (the 2.5 and 3.0L Duratec were separate engines, and aluminum blocks, SHO was iron block like the Vulcan)
This era of Chrysler vehicles did not have the softest ride. My intrepid is a little crude on rough pavement also. You feel those rough bumps. But the steering is very tight for a large vehicle.
Man, these things were everywhere on the roads by me. Still are. The visibility out of these jelly bean Dodge/Chrysler minivans was excellent.
It's hard to find one now that isn't a rust bucket in the Midwest now. The salt was relentless to them.

@@hakeemsd70m Maybe you can find one that's not rusted out in the south. It would cost a lot to ship it though.

@@DS_IndustrieZ Chrysler and Dodge minivans, the best
The 4.0 L V-6 was available on the 08, 09 & 10 model years only!

Beautiful car .
4:18 Ow my ears..
4:20 “The Grand Caravan was easy on the ears…”
We rented one for a road trip. The suspension was AWFUL!! I swear I thought it was going to bounce off its wheels and right off of the freeway. 😬

That’s weird, I have the exact one they showed in this video, sort of shit condition now, and it runs like a Cadillac.
I have one of these I bought from my neighbor for $500 bucks. Everything still works. A little rust , change of oil. Good to go. I like it.
I've always loved the styling of these minivans! In my opinion it doesn't look 'dated' yet, even 18 years later.
W van, my family has used it like a truck
The 3.8 is an OHV engine. It's a bigger 3.3.
It's still my belief that Mopar made a piss poor choice by discontinuing #AllWheelDrive for #StowNGo.......both options should've been available!
$400m ?!?!?! 😯😯😯😯😯
Zazur minivan 🚐
American minivan
Vehicles that Sto N Go migrated to outside of Chrysler minivans:
Not for second row buckets, Chrysler kept the patent for that.
I share a special hatred for the town and country and grand caravan. Mainly because they are so ugly and depressing.
