What the different with limited, touring-L and hybrid

[@bridgettemandeville9495]

1. Any idea why Chrysler split the back drivers side LATCH system between the seats.. so if I have to use latch for a car seat it takes up two seats and I can't use a high back booster on that side. :/ 2. You may want to address the spare tire or lack there of if there is a vacuum and where the inflator and spare kit is. I still can't find the kit in my brand new 2023 AWD Touring L, but mine has the vacuum where the spare could be, and I can't find the kit. Also, thanks for the video. I've been trying to figure out how to get my heated steering wheel and seats on when the car starts. Not sure how I missed that when exploring the features but this helped me figure it out!

[@rogerphillis4323]

I’ve owned two of these vans in my lifetime. They are the very best in all. Practical, versatile and exceptionally engineered. I’ll be going back to another when I purchase my next vehicle. 77 yrs old.

[@ShogunHull]

❤ I'm getting my first very soon.

[@AdamSteckel]

Thank you so much for showing how BOTH rows of back seats stow away into the floor. That was exactly what I needed to see.

[@minismiles747]

Great job taking the time to share details like the climate preset that we were unaware of! You gave a super upbeat informative fun presentation! Kudos!

[@automaticYT]

Thank you for the kind words. Appreciate it.

[@kimberlychicago7608]

Very nice mini van. On my list of potential vehicles. Good job on the video.

[@dano7145]

My 2015 Grand Caravan R/T has 87K miles and has been flawless. But as someone who generally keeps vehicles for 90K to 100K miles, I'm naturally considering my options for a new minivan. The Pacifica Touring L AWD has long been at the top of my wish list (I won't be without the fabulous Stow-N-Go!), but three things you mentioned trouble me: 1) Only one glove box? Our Caravan has two (high and low); 2) I don't like that the heated-seat controls are relegated to the touch screen; and 3) the center storage console looks inadequate. The auxiliary space you pointed out (at the back of the console) is more convenient for mid-row passengers. Are these disappointments deal breakers? Perhaps not. But I appreciate the "heads up" you have provided in this video. Great job!

[@automaticYT]

Hi there, yeah unfortunately there isn’t a top glovebox. And I would say the center console really isn’t a center console. It’s like a small cubby. Which I was really surprised by. Then I discovered the reason that is the case is because the storage under the center console accessible from the rear seats. Pretty odd design choice in my opinion. They could have made the console longer in length to accommodate both storage options in my opinion.

[@djplonghead5403]

I love the style of this van sooo much!!!

[@davidhypes5228]

You did a great job reviewing one of my favorite vehicles! Keep up the good work!

[@indayr2669]

Very informative video! Thank you!!!

[@patrickdozier2146]

Great job on the video....thank you.

[@brittanyluciani4173]

Thanks for the video! Excited to buy my Pacifica!

[@juandejesus8083]

Súper helpful video thanks

[@debrajobrewer-formhals5876]

I bought a Pacifica two weeks ago. The stow and go seats won me over. Wonderful car.

[@automaticYT]

Those seats are pretty cool.

[@JoeS97756]

Congrats, I'm shopping for one. Did you get the S package with the 20" wheels? I'm wondering how much they impact the comfort of the ride?

[@rlaranjo]

Me too. I may not even use it, but I can't buy any other minivan because I will keep thinking about the fact that I don't have it. I'm very happy with mine.

[@pike28]

Awesome vehicle, we have the 3.6 in our van, flawless, only changed a rear rotor in 107k

[@automaticYT]

That’s great man. It really is a nice package.

[@es001]

We just got the 2023 Touring L AWD for about $50K. I appreciate the little gems about the control panel. One thing i have to get used to is the dial for the gear box right next to the volume control. We graduated from the Caravan and this is the HUGE adjustment for me. Makes ne wonder what happens if I accidentally change gear instead of the volume dial while going 45mph. 😬 Thank you for the video. Huge help.

[@o_LL_o]

Reliable, long lasting, well engineered, handy. Good for maintaining relationships,but not for getting one started

[@NevrNewd]

I appreciate this video. Helped us decide to get the 23 Touring L model!

[@automaticYT]

That’s great. I am so glad this video helped you.

[@Mrdecc100]

@@automaticYT We just leased a 2023 hybrid (plug-in) Touring L Pacifica, getting an increase in mpg(e) over our previous 2021 gas Pacifica (that avg. 21 mpg) to approx. 31 mpg,; charging the battery 1% to 100% every night. We can drive approx. 30 miles on just the battery. A Level 1 (110 volt) charger came with the Pacifica and takes about 14 hours for a full charge (1% to 100%). We also purchased a Level 2 (240V) 'Chargpoin+' Fast Charger from the dealer ($580) and we'll have it hardwired by a licensed electrician. A full charge should take about 2 hours. (In CT there are significant incentives when buying, installing and using a charger.) Note: The battery is located under the 2nd row seats, so there is no 'Stow and Go' feature for a hybrid Pacifica; but we love it anyway.

[@aam3080]

We saw what you had on for music👍🏼😬🙏🏻 Blessings brother … Cool review

[@BlissTK8]

good review thankyou

Just bought this model with the 360 camera system. Thank you for this video

[@JoeS97756]

Did you get the S package with the 20" wheels? I'm wondering if the 20" wheels are still comfortable.

[@razorraysolarsavings70]

This mini van would save me lots of money in hotel rooms 😁. I subscribed, keep hustling and your channel will grow.

[@automaticYT]

Thank you for the sub. Much appreciated. And yeah the storage is pretty insane.

[@Bluecollarworker]

Great video. might get one sooner then later. do the middle and back seats come out if need the storage? Just curious

[@automaticYT]

Hey thanks. Either Seats do not come out unfortunately.

[@Bluecollarworker]

@@automaticYT that stinks. is there a model pacifica that they do come out you are aware of?

[@scottweisel3640]

I have a 2017. The stow and go seats are great. The engine has enough power for my needs. The transmission is quirky when shifting from park into drive or reverse. It has poor traction, frequently spinning when pulling out and in snow it is a poor performer. I love the vehicle over all and would love to try the AWD version, as I think that may overcome the negatives of the 2017. It would also be really cool if the stow and go seats were motorized.

[@automaticYT]

Thanks for the comment. I am really surprised to hear the traction issues, do you think it was due to bad tires?

[@FadeToBlackLLC]

I have a 2018 Pacifica and it has 148K and it's been running awesome. I love the size of it and the space. I'd like have an AWD here in Wisconsin but with snow tires it actually does really well in the winter. It's been a really good van so far.

[@jamesdelap4085]

Kids come with it too!

[@marc8vino]

mid life crises vehicle usually means a fun car like a corvette is a typical mid life crises car.

[@eyalschnider]

if i could trust crhrysler i would take it over siena...

[@PoubelleKansas]

Thanks for this video. I am renting a Pacifica next week for a 3800-mile trip. I'll be going by myself and will need to use the cargo area with all rear seats folded away because I'm hauling a few long items that can't be exposed to the weather. (The Pacifica looks to have the "smoothest" floor once that is done....a great place to get a nap in at a rest stop.) Does the passenger seat fold forward, BTW?

[@automaticYT]

Thank you for watching.. the front passenger seat won’t fold forward, it will just slide forward.

[@PoubelleKansas]

@@automaticYT Thanks for that information.

[@johnb2127]

I would consider it at the higher level, with the screens in the second row and the outlets

[@jon1970forest]

What about the reputation for sub-par reliability over the long run? Thank you!

[@automaticYT]

Yeah I get what you are saying. But the reputation of a car brand as a whole is somewhat different than if you look at a particular vehicle. The reason I say this will last is because this isn’t a full redesign model year for the Pacifica nor does it have a completely new engine. so the issues introduced with the redesign with this model should have been ironed out by now. And since the engine is the same as they have been using for a while, issues there should be addressed as well. Of course assuming you do the regular maintenance and keep up, this one should last.

[@roxiegirldelarosa8449]

I love it that's what I'm looking for. But I don't want an electric van. I also want one that has outside side steps on each side, and a DVD player in the back and my favorite color is cherry red.

[@john.h.richards1]

Great video, but the only thing you forgot was the radio controls behind the left and right of the steering wheel, otherwise good job!

[@denispinard8120]

Is the AWD always on or it engage when needed automatically

[@JoeS97756]

Supposedly the computer senses when AWD is needed and turns it on. But that doesn't explain the lower highway gas mileage.

[@Bluecollarworker]

Can you shift the middle and rear seats to different positions?

[@automaticYT]

No you can’t slide middle and rear seats forward or back.

[@Mrdecc100]

@@automaticYT My 2023 hybrid Touring L Pacifica has manual sliding 2nd row seats.

[@moeq5978]

How is reliability of Pacifica vs Odyssey over the long term?

[@automaticYT]

I think it’s pretty good for the gas engine Pacifica model. The engine has been around for a while and as long as you do the routine maintenance, it lasts just fine. The hybrid Pacificas tend to have issues from what I have heard. But in ultra long term (like 100k miles plus) Odyssey may edge out the Pacifica.

[@flowwolf108]

does pacifica third row windows open ( flaps )

[@automaticYT]

No it does not.

[@user-qq3sh5do7t]

Good for it

[@patrick39432]

The only complaint on my 2019, NO spare tire! Why???

[@imlimerenjamir8479]

Wow awesome van is this van available in India please

[@automaticYT]

Yeah it seems to be available in India.

[@TPOrchestra]

$45K? You may as well go for the hybrid, which is about the same price after the $7500 federal tax credit.

[@ans05]

I think chrysler has a patent on the seats folding into the floor.

[@automaticYT]

Oh interesting. I would have thought the name “Stow and Go” would be trademarked and it is. But I never thought a car feature is trademarked preventing others from doing the same for their customers.

[@ans05]

@@automaticYT I think patent US8632113B2

[@PamelaBellOfficial]

They do. I remember hearing about it when it came out in 2004

[@varunmenon474]

If only they'd fix their reliability issues especially on the Hybrid model.

[@automaticYT]

I am curious to know, what kind of issues are you having?

[@LGSRIDE]

We bought our Camry from kings automall. Lol

[@automaticYT]

Nice, how are you liking it?

[@LGSRIDE]

@@automaticYT It served us well for 140,000 miles. Lol Traded it in for a 2022 Pacifica Hybrid Pinnacle 2 days ago.

[@singing4fun]

The interior of my 2015 Grand Caravan is 100% better designed than this. Gotta admit, I'm kind of disappointed. I'm thinking the Carnival is gonna be my next minivan...

[@joppaman21040]

I totally disagree. The Pacifica’s interior is light years ahead of my old 2015 and 2019 Grand Caravan.

[@GaDawg0513]

No spare tire. Really? A lot of trust in cell phone signal. Nothing like being in The middle of nowhere with a flat and no spare. With your Wife & Kids. The fix a flat & plug in compressor isn’t that effective.

[@automaticYT]

Yeah I see this more and more now and I don’t like it.

[@JoeS97756]

They use to have an accessory compact spare tire that stores in the left side of the rear where those shelves are. But someone said they no longer offer it. I'm going to check into it. My Tesla has no spare either and I carry a plug kit and small compressor and it can get you out of most situations, short of the tire disintegrating, but still nothing as good as having a real spare.

[@mr2cqql]

Lol, Why would another wants to buy this POS over the Sienna or Odyssey? It's already look dated inside and out.

[@JoeS97756]

For starters, the Sienna second row cannot be removed. Also there are no Siennas or Odysseys available and you pay over sticker and have to wait.

[@mr2cqql]

I don't want to trade any comfort over a removable seats, do you transport big item or wood everyday? no right. If I need to transport big item, I don't mind going to home depot and rent a truck for $19.@@JoeS97756
