First Take

A little extra equipment and ornamentation set the Town & Country apart from the similar Dodge Grand Caravan. The current-generation long-wheelbase Chrysler minivans have scored well in our tests, and reliability has improved to average. All ride fairly quietly and handle reasonably well. Optional all-wheel drive adds peace of mind. The front seats provide adequate support. While the middle and rear seats are heavy, they unlatch easily if you need to remove them. Dual sliding doors are standard.

Model History

2011-2016

2011 Redesign Year

A 2011 update brought a new 3.6-liter V6 that considerably improved fuel economy. Other attributes of this model include enhanced handling and better interior quality. While blind-spot monitoring is readily available, you won't find forward-collision or lane-departure warning systems, nor automatic braking. Poor performance in the IIHS small-overlap crash test is another safety shortcoming in a contemporary minivan offering.

2008-2010

2008 Redesign Year

The 2008 redesign brought new features, improved safety gear, and a quieter, more comfortable cabin. But handling, braking, fuel economy, and fit and finish still weren't impressive. The swiveling second-row seats are quite innovative and the windows in the side doors roll down for the first time in the history of the model. Blind spot monitoring is offered as an option, while stability control and side airbags are standard equipment. Still though, the Asian competition is much better.

2001-2007

2001 Redesign Year

The Town & Country is an upscale, seven-seat version of the Dodge Grand Caravan. In pre-2008 models you can expect a fairly composed ride and secure handling. The handy Stow'n Go seating system that debuted in 2005 allows both rear rows to fold flat into the floor. Their bays double as underfloor storage when the seats are deployed. The standard 3.3-liter V6 provides lackluster acceleration and unimpressive fuel economy. A stronger 3.8-liter V6 is also available. While the model started out as one of the best of the best, the competition soon eclipsed Chrysler's luxurious family craft.

1996-2000

1996 Redesign Year

The extended-length version of the Town & Country is similar to the Dodge Grand Caravan and Plymouth Grand Voyager. They ride quietly, handle quite nimbly, and convert easily from people-carrier to cargo-hauler. A second, left-side sliding door is standard in the Town & Country, and a very useful feature. Both the 3.3-liter and the 3.8-liter V6s accelerate well. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly. The front seats provide good support. While the middle and rear seats are easy to remove, they're very heavy.
