Dodge Grand Caravan Long-term Review (Van Culture) - Kelley Blue Book

[@nickcsuki8123]

This guy is still rocking the reviews in 2021... Awesome...

[@leechristy7003]

Vans are far more useful than SUVs, haul more, better on long cross country trips, better mileage etc. Got a 2000 Plymouth Voyager over 20 years now, No engine or trans problems. Did have to replace water pump twice and things went haywire with a bad computer module at about 120,000 miles but since then, no problem (just used a junkyard module, that year could do that, no need to get ripped off by a dealer

[@bblaam27]

im sorry but this guy is like the best person for car reviews EVER! lol good job

[@charredskeleton]

This is sarcasm right?

[@brunotaylor4872]

Pro trick : watch movies at Flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.

I think I just saw the greatest car review video ever made!

[@k9forkids]

With the Odyssey, you're lucky if your transmission last 50k miles, Honda has major problems with their Auto Trans

[@ze_german2921]

@@horebtk947 you got lucky. I manage a mechanic repair shop. Google it

[@vega7708]

I was laughing so hard I'm still crying. Great job on this video! I'm saving to my favorites!

[@stupid8911]

Oh, my GAWWWWWDDDDDDDDDD. Mr. Muzio, what in the heck was that goatee!?!??

[@MrJandi1]

Owned a Grand Caravan and a Town & Country. Yes, they have top notch interior but it's only to disguise the junk under the hood. Ask any mechanic, Chrysler vans have the worst transmissions on the market and the drivetrain is subpar in comparison to the Odyssey and Sienna. Hey, at least you can watch a movie while you're waiting for that tow or thinking about that $3-5K repair bill!

[@00kirbyd]

Here's why it's such a good car not just for families but for young, single and free people who are adventurous in the you know what department. 1.  Tinted windows for privacy when you... 2. Seats that fold into a bed for when you... 3. Table for Dinner before you... 4. How about watching some TV for after you... 5. Sat Nav for the journey home after you... XD

[@davidgomez5116]

Best comment haha

[@VolunteerLS110]

When we lived in America, we always had a van. Nice big Dodge Rams. When we moved to Ireland, we searched high and low for something similar. Now we have a 1995 Toyota Granvia and she is a serious head turner. Everybody loves it!

[@PearComputingDevices]

I love my wagons. I am no hippy, but I enjoy them to the core. Especially my Dodge minivans. I grew up around them, I never thought of owning one, or two.. I've owned Cherokees for the wagon qualities. But after my first kid was born the idea of a minivan sounded perfect. Our first was a 2002 Grand with most of the creature comforts. Then I picked up a 2003 stripper model for me to drive personally. What a change that was, I didnt own that one but for a year. I traded it up for a 2004 Chrysler Touring. Way, way nicer. But we've easily drove these used vans 75k-120k each. I am kind of thrifty and we dont buy new cars. But I will say my minivans have been the most reliable. I dream of a Grand RT, I love them rims. But until mine falls apart my budget dictates dream on.

[@edwinkubena9944]

Really rather just open doors myself too much electronic unnecessary gizmos I have had one of these it the 3.6 was bulletproof Totally reliable Seen some negative reviews my experience has been excellent with this van

[@dpajc056]

seriously cool review

[@lukepate8749]

Love it!!! About to buy one in 2019!!!😎

[@miguelvineza9797]

Humble beginnings

[@VS460L]

the most interesting car review ive ever seen

[@billreinhard4702]

I have all ways had the best of luck with grand caravans used for work all three had inexcess of 250k when I sold them. All had original trans and motors good sevice rewards.

[@rosiemelkonian]

GOOD VAN GOOD SHOW WE ALWAYS LOVED DODGE CARAVANS WE ALWAYS BUY THEM KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB AMERICA THANK U

[@psfphotography]

Excellent video !

[@stevenrencher4854]

My 2010 grand caravan sxt was nice to drive. Had some nice features. 4.0 engine which was punchy enough. But was horribly unreliable. We bought it used in Alberta where we lived at the time. In just over a year of ownership we had the transmission fail. 3500 bucks US dollars. 😖😡 Replaced three wheel bearings. The last original was noisy when we traded it off. It always acted like it was barely turning over to start. Like a weak battery but a new battery did not help. Then the AC compressor failed and locked up. 255 bucks plus 106 to recharge. Good thing I change it out myself. It would have been much more. I've had two previous grand caravans before. They're great when you have kids. Neither one of those gave me much trouble. One was a 94 model and the other a 2000 model. The 2010 was the nicest one by far. But most troublesome. I was bitterly dissapointed with it. It got traded off for a used Buick Enclave last week. Hopefully I'll have better luck with that.

[@Canada_Immigration_Bible]

Hi Steven, thank you so much for the comment. I wanted a 6 seater or 7 seater vehicle, which one do you recommend for easy maintenance and cost effective to maintain ? I am from Calgary. Thank you again ! My usage is low, only for weekend grocery shopping and some summer trips.

[@chrishuber8930]

You should have waited until the 2011. Much better

[@ocman11]

Thank you KZbin for knowing I wanted to watch this 12 years later.

[@Verses01]

I miss this guy, where'd he go?

[@TigreMarino]

I own a 1999 Voyager and it rocks, and has been bulletproof so far. Lots of torque, great ride. :)

[@msshell5374]

Great job on this video! It was very informative and entertaining!!! Thank You

[@terryprater5084]

Watching movies is NOT the coolest thing you can do in the back of a Chrysler minivan. They make great dating vehicles! Btw, I'm getting ready to buy my 6th one.

[@fixinggrace]

These vans drive and ride nice and look cool for a family hauler, but Consumer Reports finds these have much worse than average reliability. Dodge dealers also have a poor track record of denying valid warranty claims. This isn't to say to not buy one. However, realize that you'll be handing the bank a check every month for $500 whether this thing runs well or not. This goes for any new car.

[@RockinRyanIsRAD]

"Cause there are some weird people out there"....Yeah, like you!

[@klchallender]

We love our 2012 grand caravan, except for the brakes. We've had to replace them numerous times, not because we're abusing the brakes, but because they're crap! Only complaint we have about the van. I'm wondering, does anyone know if Chrysler has addressed this issue? We're thinking of trading ours in for newer van but considering other brands only because of the brake issues.

[@jamesr8103]

They fixed the brake issue in 2013

[@michaelmclernon4929]

Brakes upgraded to HD Jan 01 2012, back brakes still a weak point and require lots of maintenance. HD brakes required upgrade to 17 inch wheels.

[@dirkturrell6460]

Do you go to the dealership or somewhere else? It was a known issue on our old 2003 as well but we bought higher end pads and rotors and they would last 50k+ kms. Maybe even more then that no joke!

[@dirkturrell6460]

And that's the pads too btw! The rotors easily had 120k kms on them when we retired her and still stopped the thing no problem!

[@minivanman1356]

I have a 2014 and they have very very good aggressive brakes. I love them

[@KenIn_NH]

Would love to see this redone based on it's historical performance....or lack thereof...😅

[@TheCobrasniper]

I thought long term review might mean a discussion on reliability. I’m glad he likes the gizmos but not what I was hoping to hear about in a long term review.

[@QuickDraw911]

Lol

[@U4Eye]

I just rented a Dodge Caravan is awesome everything is automatic opens the seat to go in and out you catch a lot of space there's got to be a downfall to this l van..? I really love it!

That was vantastic!

[@capmac25]

My 2011 sienna was just repainted,ac has a bad stink problem and seats squeak.thinking of going back to dodge

[@aohm-gq1sd]

Bad mistake if you do I'm having the same problem with my new 2014 grand caravan sxt. And thinking about getting rid of it. The 3.6 is very underpowered.... it as already knocks too the engine sucks.. Don't buy trust me you have better luck with another Sienna.

[@johnnys94]

aohm7886 marktuyet Get a Honda Odyssey. I've had two of them and loved them! Toyota and Dodge are Notorious for their problems

[@Gravesyte]

Thought I was going crazy for a second wondering was my screen dirty

[@jimwatson7368]

What year was that one?

[@Monsterdrumma]

My 2016 is the worst vehicle I have ever owned! I bought a 2016 dodge grand caravan that had 128,000’s on it and at 131,000 the engine blew so I fixed it for $2700.00’s then 3 weeks later the trans blew! Now I don’t have enough money for a new used car so I am being forced to move back East where you don’t need a car. I wouldn’t spend 1 penny on another Chrysler product the best car by far and only good car I have ever owned was a 2008 Toyota corolla which gave me zero problems in 6 years and I drove long distances as a musician when I had that thing!

[@MrRuger1977]

I own the 2013 SXT, I love the van.

[@HWOZPRODUCTIONS]

Great vid Kool review

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Now a days, 6 speed is basic compared to 8, 9, and 10 speeds and CVT’s!😸

[@calbob750]

Long term view of Grand Caravan...better buy the Long Term Maximum Warranty.

[@matthewplays8029]

1:48 tries to do that in my car My car: *BEEP BEEP* **car stops**

[@bryantmatthews93]

I love my 2010 ctc touring

nice van

[@johnnykurplutzo6789]

Ok. What repair costs have been accumulated thus far?

[@whoamme1974]

Watching in 2020 I have the 2016 grand caravan.

[@richardthelion8990]

You have to be a millenial to believe this is the reality of what people think is important in owning a van, especially a Dodge Grand Caravan. It's like having a pretty woman who can't cook. Yes, there's a lot of bells and whistles, but wait till they break down, and then feel the shock of how much money it will steal from you. Yes, it looks nice, has windows that go down, and seats that fold dow, and it does have the versatility of being a van. But but all this and more should have been the standard from the beginning. Plus it still sucks gas, and there's just too many things to go wrong. Glad we got rid of ours with only 66 K miles.

[@lordz72]

can someone tell me what kind of car is this? because its not the carava n i know

[@TheSlharvey]

I ALMOST Test drove one today.

[@Gapandgold]

i love dodge... and chrysler and all his friends

What year and model is this

[@potatopotato8360]

[@CEOkiller]

Watching TV is NOT the coolest thing you can do in the back of a van...

[@TaurusLX1988]

it's a great van, but i prefer the chrysler T&C limited more!!!. I mean automatic wipers, auto lights & high beams ect, it looks classy too!

[@Tannernguyen]

Where is the table i have this car too but i dont know where it is

[@Chrysler1998]

Did you pick a van yet?? Please let me know!! If you didnt pick one yet, I have some very helpful and extremely useful information!! Let me know!!

[@alreddog]

funny good information I was thinking of getting a used SUV but even a 10 year old rear wheel drive they still want $11.000 to $16000 for them and the gas is horrible so to take long summer trips and not adding 650 dollars to rent a SUV or a U-Haul when moving I thinking of buying one I seen a 2010 for $7.995 and it's E85 and around here it $1.25 a gallon

[@hoderharris]

Look at that facial hair ha

[@_anthonyyyyy_]

Wow he has changed...

[@mysteriousphantomghost382]

I’ll get the van when I’m 18 years old

[@mesoanto1031]

[@DodgeMan360]

vans were cool when they were rear wheel drive, and V8.

[@franki3Ru550]

Looking at that feels like we are far from futuristic.. thank God they got rid of the boring shit.. makes the road look boring

[@punker4Real]

I rented one of these (2018), it's very very unstable at highway speeds, when in the present of large high profile vehicles (i.e box truck or 18 wheel) 915 mile test drive(rental) it only had 4100 miles when i rented it very unsafe for highway use.. fine if you are driving in city at 20-25mph the last line will be a true joke The Federal Highway Commission has ruled th Grand Caravan unsafe for highway or city driving

[@bentackett6299]

[@PartyUpLive]

I'm 6' 9" tall, medium build and I fit in this van. That's a big reason why I bought it. Another reason was the Stow N Go of all the seats in the back.

[@williamdorsey4744]

And you can change brake pads and calipers over and over again while you own it.
