The past couple of model years Dodge has been selling the Grand Caravan as a strictly bare-bones alternative to the posh Chrysler Pacifica. There are so few options even available now that even a "top of the line" model feels minimal. You'd be better off getting a 2016 or 2017 GT model, as these still had leather seats, a digital instrument display, power pedal adjustment, parking sensors, blind spot monitors, upgraded sound system, and most other features as options (though I'm not sure about remote start, sunroof, Wi-Fi and Blu-ray-- those might have been only the Town & Country). The 2017 GT from my experience was just fine; the engine is powerful, the seats are comfortable, the styling is good, gas mileage is good if you use Econ mode, and extra features like the fold-flat seats and built-in self-charging flashlight come in handy.

Enjoyed the lease so much that we bought it!
The GT is the way to go. All the bells and whistles at an affordable price. I love the heated seats and steering wheel! The entertainment system is great and the onboard GPS. The fuel economy is not good. We average 19mpg.

Nothing Grand About It
When we bought this van we had such high hopes. Then they were quickly smashed by how fast problems keep popping up. We bought our van used 2017 with 40k miles in it. We’ve had it two years. The first month owning it, it was in the shop more than I drove it. The catalytic converter went. The dealer fixed it. Then the air conditioner didn’t work. We fixed that. Then the front doors stopped locking. We have yet to fix that. Now all of the sudden when we start it there is white smoke and oil coming from the tailpipe. We’ve just begun investigating that. For a family vehicle this van is anything but reliable.
Very 😃
Very pleased! Great deal! So far so good!

Awesome vehicle for the Price $$$$$$
First of all I hate minivans. I can't stand the look of any of them. I wonder why they just don't put sliding doors or SUV's but anyway. I went to the dealership to get a family car with 3rd row seating. The problem I have is that I have 2 babies and 2 elementary age kids and SUV's aren't to car seat friendly when it comes to space. I must have looked through 10 SUV's. Looked great on the outside but lacked what I needed on the inside. My son was like "want to check out the dodge grand caravan" and I was like what other choice to I have. He pulled around a black DGC SXT fully loaded. auto start, power sliding doors, power rear door, sound system out of this world, Bluetooth, hands free calling, deep bass. When I sat on the inside it had leather seating with suede. I feel in love with the inside of the vehicle. I like to feel a little manly in my vehicles and this dodge grand caravan gave me just what I needed. I didn't want to look like a soccer mom. With 280HP under the hood it doesn't hesitate one bit when stepping on the accelerator. I was not expecting this van to peel out like it did. I was shocked. So then I took it on a handling test. I drive a 2016 ford fusion 2.0 Turbo and I felt like I was driving my car around. I got to keep my dude card and be able to take my entire family around of 6 people comfortably. I'm no minivan connoisseur and I'm sure to minivan enthusiast this may not be there first or second option. But I see the new 2017 dodge grand caravan as a crossover minivan SUV combo. For men that want that look and you know the look I'm taking about. A vehicle that looks aggressive this minivan has great potential on the aftermarket just because it is a Dodge. So when people look over at my minivan, they are confused. It looks masculine and with 20" pickup truck wheels it puts this vehicle in it's very own category that hasn't been touched. Kind of like the Ford Flex.
