I love my grand Caravan

2017 Dodge Grand Caravan GT 4dr Minivan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

I've owned dodge caravans for years. this time so as to totally satisfy myself i test drove the Honda Odyssey and the Toyota and quite frankly it was no contest. nothing beats stow and go, power is about the same. Caravan GT model interior easily beat the honda and the toyota and the new pacifica. also the cost was at least $10000.00 lower than the honda. all these car experts probably get paid by Honda to make the odyssey come across as the second coming. they don't seem to realize that average people by a van because it's a tremendous people hawler and absolutely great if your travelling south and are a golfer. who cares if it doesn't have the absolute latest gimmicks. guess what! 99% of owners never use these useless features that you are charged exorbitant amounts for. most don't even know how to operate them. long live the dodge caravan. i think dodge may want to modify its appearance down the road, but replace it NEVER, that would be a mistake.

Love it after 5000 mile camper trip

These vans do what they are meant to do, carry lots of stuff or people. We just finished 5000 mile trip in the Rocky Mountains and our 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT was great. It pulled a pop up camper up and down mountains without a complaint and got great mileage doing it. We had hoped for 20 mpg and got 24mpg(actually 23.7) traveling with the traffic at highway speeds. Now without the trailer mileage approaches/exceeds 30mpg at highway speeds. And our two dogs love it too. We buy and keep our cars for long periods and have always had great performance from Dodge grand caravans.

BEST Vehicle EVER

I bought the minivan for its space to haul my mobility scooter. I installed a hoist and the scooter fits perfect. I never use the last row of seating and carry a load of 400 lbs. at all times. Looking at the van from the outside you can’t even tell it has anything inside. I love the power and the sound of the engine when you put your foot into it. The start has a little lag but then it takes off like a rocket, I had a big SUV before which weighed 1500 lbs. more than the van and it had the same horse power and it would not get out of its own way. I live in Phoenix, AZ so the remote start is a must in the hot weather. I start it when I get outside of the store and the time I get my scooter loaded and get in the driver seat the A/C has it cooled down. The auto doors are the best for loading groceries don’t even have to get off my scooter. I have people see me unloading my scooter and they always come over to help me close the rear door and I tell them it’s automatic and push the button. The Bluetooth for the phone is great calling and receiving calls, I like music and was always shuffling cd’s in my old vehicle but this one puts them on the hard drive and then I never have to mess with them anymore. The mileage is good on the highway (26 MPG) in town I can’t keep my foot out of it so not that great, but that’s my own fault. I’m 62 and have had a lot of vehicles and this by far is the best.

1st of many minivans!

due To our growing family, we were in market for a minivan. After doing much research online, we went shopping. It took us 1 day to decide which van was right for us! 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan. I loved the look on the Chrysler Pacifica, so we drove on of those- we were not a big fan. It was not as comfortable as we thought a “luxury” minivan would be. We then drove the caravan- which was very smooth- absorbing bumps with ease, smooth acceleration, nice features, comfortable seats, and lower cost than the Pacifica. Granted, we did like the look of the interior dash in the Pacifica better- it did feel like you were driving a very large vehicle (and I drive a semi) we then drove the 2016 Kia Sedona, and our backs were hurting before we were finished with the test drive. We felt clostrophobic in the front of the Sedona. The Sedona is a bit longer than the caravan, but the front feels cramped, while there is a little more legroom in the back seats. We went into this shopping trip with 2 different vehicles in mind. The Pacifica, and the Sedona- we ended up liking the Dodge Grand Caravan so much more! Interior feels like it’s built to last, quality is great, design wonderful. *fyi- I’ve never been a fan of Dodge, but the stow-n-go option really made me consider it- I’m glad I did! One thing about the Caravan that is disappointing is the infotainment screen. Feels a bit like the screens from cell phones many years ago. Back up camera leaves much to be desired, as it is pretty grainy, and at night- it’s just about worthless. However, it is a touchscreen, and it is a decent size. The Sedona had a very small screen. If you can look past the quality of the screen, then definitely take a look at the 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan! Ours has leather/suede seats.

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.

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.

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.

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.

People think I'm crazy for purchasing a minivan to tote my dogs around, but it was the best of all options. Low enough that they can get in and out as they grow older. Room enough that my German Shepherd is not slouching, or crammed in the back set. it's perfect. I put the 2nd row of Stow & Go seating down, dog beds on the floor, and we are ready to go.

Because of the height of the floor the optional running boards are a necessity for easy access to the vehicle. On the GT model the term LEATHER INTERIOR is a misnomer as there is only an 11"X 13" patch of leather on each of the seat backs and cushions, but there is a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, an insignificant amount of leather for the use of the term LEATHER INTERIOR. I chose this vehicle for it's large capacity (can handle 4' X 8' sheets of plywood and versatility (Stow & Go) seating. The accelerator peddle needs to be reprogrammed to a more liner operation as starting from a standstill on a small incline or at the bottom of a hill the vehicle lurches forward making it difficult to accelerate slowly and is particularly noticeable when attempting to enter my garage with an inclined driveway. There is a problem with the drivers seat, the PLASTIC on the seat cushion has split, though the fabric backing is still intact and the seat is holding together though there is 110,678 KM on the vehicle.

Style, Storage and Squeal

We rented this model last year for a trip that required lots of storage room for the trip home. We were instantly converted to a minivan household! Due to an unfortunate accident (not our fault) in November, it did provide us with the opportunity to buy a new car. We didn’t even have to discuss it. We already knew what we wanted. I searched online for a 2017nmodel, and bought it over the phone in less than an hour. When my husband’s workday ended, he dropped off our other car to have the brakes relined, and got a lift from a friend straight to Landmark in Athens. He drove our new car home after signing the paperwork. Great financing, great customer service! I am handicapped which makes entering and exiting a car difficult. But because the Grand Caravan sits lower than our crossover, it’s much easier for me know. Plus there is room for my wheelchair if needed. And the power out;ets allow me to use my medical while in transit so I can withstand longer road trips. So much storage space with all seats in position. If we stow all the seats, we can slide a queen size mattress and box springs in the back with room left over! Love the separate temperatur controls in the front and rear. Rides like a car, storage room of a pickup and that v6 squeals the wheels when you have to go NOW. We weren’t picky...this was the last 2017 model left on the lot so we had no hcoice in color of van, carpet or rest of interior. Missing s power package we would like to have (seats, doors, tailgate), but otherwise it’s fabulous. And have you ever heard of getting 25mpg on surface streets? And we get 31mpg on the expressway. The economy fuel setting helps us achieve that. LOVE the Dodge Grand Caravan! And our rapidly growing teenager finally has room for his super long legs! Cant say enough nice things about the car or Landmark Dodge. Just a great experience all the way around.

I need a lot of legroom which is the primary reason I chose to consider this minivan. With the seat all the way back, my son or daughter in the second row behind me also have enough legroom. Unlike others who choose to buy a value priced vehicle then complain that it does not have enough technology, I do not want to pay for the touchscreen, blindspot check, cameras around the car. So I got what I paid for and love it. Incredibly comfortable with its 8 way and lumbar support drivers seat, substantial engine horsepower, separate heating controls for the driver, passenger and rear rows, are all features that I enjoy with my SXT trim. Loading it up to fix houses is unbeatable. Towing Capacity is great and even roof racks built in. It’s my second Grand Caravan of this generation. I currently have 56K miles on it and it’s been very reliable; I never worry when driving it. It’s not a cool car but it has way more utility than a so called sport utility vehicle.

Purchased my '17 Grand Caravan GT over 2 years ago for 30% off and have been happy with it ever since. I have racked up 49,000 kms with zero issues. Fuel economy is outstanding as I average 7.5L/100 km(31 mpg I think) on the highway during the trips to the cottage in the summer months(as long as I watch my rpms) The kids really enjoy the DVD player as well as the power doors. With dedicated winter tires, the van is a beast in the snow, thought fuel mileage suffers a little bit, which is of course expected. Other than that I've got no complaints....

Review of 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT

This midsized minivan is meant to be on the sportier side. With a 3.6 L V6 that allows flex fuel as well as normal fuel, this van can really go if you give it the right amount of power, although the engine has a bit of a lag at first. The startup is fairly quiet, but running vibrations while the van is in the park gear can annoying. The location gear shifter is a bit odd, but the dashboard is straightforward. Good local car, but lacks entertainment feature that would make long rod trips pleasant. Mileage is about 17 in the city and 24 on the highway. A fuel economy mode is available on certain models.

New 2017 Grand Caravan surges and hesitates

I bought this 2017 Grand Caravan brand new with only 15 miles, day one I noticed the engine missing while running in park, when at stop with foot on brake it has a surge in the engine, while driving it has a miss in the engine and surges like the transmission is starting to slip. Took to dealer and was told they had to update the computer and was also told to NEVER use E85 even-though it is rated to use it, I told them that I had never used the E85 and was only using premium gas, I was then told that premium gas was as bad as E85 and causes the computer to act up. I was told to only use regular unleaded fuel and in a couple of tanks it should work itself out, well three tanks later is is not as bad as it was but it still acts up almost daily. What a POS, I have always been a Dodge Guy and my dad used to own a Dodge Dealership, but wish I hadn't bought this one. Only getting 12 mpg in city and 19 or 20 on highway and I only have about 2,100 miles on it (yes that is actually 2,100 miles) at the time I posted this, I am about to trade it in on a Chevy or Ford................................................... Update: I still own this POS, I now have 20,000 miles on it. We took a road trip and had lots of issues, wouldn't pull itself up the mountains (had to floor the gas), had issues with the cruise, gas mileage still sucks van still surges and slams into gears. Wish I had never bought it....... Dodge Caravans SUCK Been in for service 3 times for same issues and they keep telling me it's because my wife drives differently than I do................ Worst vehicle I have ever owned.......

We bought it brand new and have had a misfire since about the first month.( they cant find it.) Also siding door rattles at times. And if sitting idling in gear with running lights or what is called driving light which are automatically on they will flicker continuously. ( another thing they cant find). Fuel mileage is nothing like advertising says. Ours doing the math miles driven vrs gallons used will alot of the times be 16 to 17. Never seen it even close to what the dash says. 25.xx miles per gallon. Yes they will warranty it but they keep telling us its normal operations. My advice dont buy one. Ours has been and still is nothing but a major headache and disappointment.

I like the Grand Caravan for the comfort and versatility. I put about 33,000 miles a year on my van. My 2017 only needed a battery and one set of tires and brakes over 96,000 miles of highway driving. Just ordered a black 2019 SXT. With the chrome trim it looks like a limo!

Not Enough Stow N Go or Milage

I was asked why we decided not to purchase the 2017 Dodge Caravan (Base Model). While the wife loved it, I found fault with the mid-row seats that did NOT Stow N Go (a feature that drew us to look at Caravans. We actually looked at and drove a new 2016 that was priced around 20K 'out the door.'I also found the gas mileage a bit disappointing - apparently these minivans are larger and heavier than I thought. Replacing our Hyundai sedan would have significantly increased our operating costs. And, of course, you never get the the mileage shown on the stickers!

Having this Van for 18 months, I absolutely DISLIKE the vehicle. The antenna does not go down, therefore one should not enter the speedy carwash. The safety issue on this car is horrible it should be reported to the National Safety Department, the passenger doors do not open with the button or otherwise. Absolutely no warning the doors were going out come all of a sudden the children are stuck in the car only can exit through the hatch back or climb over the seats to get to the front door. The radio system sucks, audio is great but if you want to call somebody it Miss reads what name you are saying and come up with names you never heard of or names that are not even in your phone. What I like about the vehicle it is flex fuel so yes I'm using E85. Overall I absolutely hate this vehicle.

No beeping alerts

On my trip to Maui I rented this van to drive to see if I would buy one in the future. The handling and acceleration was decent for the van with 4 kids. It was my second day and was still driving it around and enjoying my vacation. Was not aware of all the functions on the key controls. Just lock and unlock. I must have accidentally hit the open truck key and was not aware of it beenopen. There was no beeping sound or flashing alert on the dash like my Toyota van. I drove the car out of the car port and the trunk window got shattered because it was to high. I believe this to be a design default. My lost

My children and I were very disappointed in the lack of features and comfort. Perhaps we have been spoiled by our 2010 Chrysler Town & Country but this Van just did not live up to our expectations.

Bought a used GT from one of the rental companies over 4 1/2 years ago, with about 32,000 miles. Have put over 70,000 miles on it and love this van. With 4 grandchildren and a large dog, we needed something roomy and comfortable. More than adequate power, and the handling is fine. Great visibility when driving around town. Good seating position for longer highway trips. My wife has a ‘17 Dodge Durango, and we find the van to be much better for road trips. It has better storage and gets better mileage. Reliability has been excellent. For the price, compared to the competition, it’s been a home run.

Purchased at 140k miles Almost at 200k now Transmission replaced at 170k (I bought the extended warranty which covered brand new transmission from dodge 3700$) which was well worth it considering the warranty was 2000$ I’d advise buying used. I would never pay msrp for this vehicle. Good on gas considering it seats 7. Shakes with just a little wind at highway speeds.

Roomy, responsive, and functional. Recommending this vehicle for anyone looking for a good choice for trips, gigs, work, and/or hauling.
