2007 | 4dr Minivan 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |

2006 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 207-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
I can get up to 2 adults and a child or 3 children, or 2 car seats and one child. The kids really like the rear seat and the middle captian chairs they love to recline and watch a movie. see full Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan review |
