These minivans especially the Dodge grand caravan, looked very futuristic back in 2001, especially when compared to a Honda Odyssey, Ford Windstar or Chevy Venture. They looked like 2010 models even though they stoped being produced in 2007.
My mom has a 2001 Caravan SE sitting in her driveway, she wanted me to sell it. But been thinking of keeping it now since it’s the little 4 banger and gets decent mpg… lol
I agree. As of December 2022, I still see at least 10 to 20 of these 01-07 Chrysler Vans daily when I'm out driving around Ohio Valley. I also still see quite a few of the 96-00 Vans.
@@itsamilkshake Yeah, I'm always happy to see these vans rolling around. I hope to own one someday, since I'm not sure I'll be able to find a clean Chevy Lumina APV. Of course, the Chrysler Vans are better.
@@fernandorocha8459 they are the best totally agree. That is a dominant segment in the automotive industry. Had a rental of the Pacifica one and the was really nice. Super quiet and peppy for a van. I’m just not a van guy for the space and room. A GC I have but like the Wagoneer. It was great as a rental and space with luggage.
They canned it thinking buyers would get confused by the "better" engine having less displacement. Yet they did that anyway with the Pacifica, go figure.
Most round and aerodynamic vans of the 2000s, too bad most of those are rusting out or scraped and in junkyards. The metal of those dodge and chrysler vehicles don't hold up that well from that era, because of the corrosion and rusting issues
@@applepoop10 Unfortunately. Yep. I had two (1st was a 2000 Cypress Green Grand Caravan SE) and when I bought my 2nd one (03 Grand Caravan ES) I knew when I bought it sooner or later I'd probably have to replace the transmission, and I did lol. and did in the first one, too. But It was comfortable, had a sunroof chrome and black it was a sharp looking van and had that pounding infinity stereo in it from factory, it was a pleasure other than the transmission.
Honestly I’ve always liked the look of these
My 2001 caravan sport is still going strong

It’s a good looking van for the time, but styling wise i’d say late 90s early 2000s
I remember the advertisement for this grand caravan in national geographic magazine
The Honda Odyssey has joined the chat🤔

These cars won’t die, but there might not be any body left by the time it does.

@@hakeemsd70m cool, the older ones are much rarer where I live.

@@hakeemsd70m good luck!
I barely see them anymore.
Chrysler/dodge has always had the best minivans
Chrysler/Dodge has always the best minivans since 1983. 1985-1988 is my favorite

nah. since the early 2000s it’s been all about honda odysseys.
@@dazednconfusedrn I don’t think it has but okay.
@@Krzrrazrrokr more reliable, more modern, more spacious, better interior quality, faster etc. but i do love dodge vans
I worked on these for years I don’t remember ever seeing a 3.5 in one. Did they reneg on making it or was it an option nobody took?

There was never a 3.5L option on the Chrysler vans. It was a 2.4 4 cyl, Mitsubishi 3.0L V6, and Chryslers 3.3L and 3.8L engines....

Sad that the 3,5 V6 never happened
215hp, 245 LB-FT torque, 3.8 V6
Back before crossovers, when vehicles were purpose built 😄 these sure were comfortable to ride in, shame they weren’t reliable
Transmission failures were common with these minivans.
