When I was about 10 years old in 1995 my friend's dad was driving us to baseball tryouts in his early 90's dodge caravan when he went over a small bridge and unexpectedly caught some air. My friend and I shot up, almost completely out of our seats. We had a good laugh and then my buddy's dad turned around and hit the bridge a little faster. This time we came up off the seat completely like we were cresting an incline on a roller coaster. We were having so much friggin fun. My buds dad would increase speed each approach sending us higher and higher off our seats. My friends dad hit the ramp sending us out of our seats probably 3-4 more times. On the last launch, he hit the ramp with so much speed my buddy banged his head on the ceiling of the van. We finally head to tryouts and afterwards we get in the van to leave it wouldn't start. We all had to get a ride home from another parent. As were leaving we realized why the van wouldn't start...on the last approach the van crashed down so hard it cracked the oil pan and leaked oil all the way from the ramp bridge to the sports complex. RIP MR. Milliken's caravan.

I purchased my 1992 Grand Caravan LE Woodie for $7,800 in 1996. It had 88,000 miles on it. Drove it for 20 years until I sold it in 2016 for $900. It was a 235,000 mile rust bucket by then but everything including the rear air/heat worked. Honest 25mpg hwy and 18mpg city. Most comfortable rear seats of any vehicle available. One of the best vehicles I ever owned.

Jason Garnett Yeah, I can't believe he didn't go in-depth to what this 1991 Dodge Minivan can do. It's hardly 25 years old, how are we supposed to know what this van can do if he won't give us a thorough review? Can it hold 3 weeks worth of groceries? How many kids can it take to band practice? With instruments? What if I have a job delivering newspapers - how many can it hold? Twist: I also have a job delivering phone books - how many can it hold? What if I have a job delivering aol.com introductory CDs? These are the things an owner of a 1991 minivan might want to know and Hoovie failed us. Mr. Garnett is right - why all this goofing off when you could be reading the spec sheets verbatim so I can know the important stuff, like dry gross weight. But, Jason Garnett, I have to say that you were completely wrong about DeMuro's LamboSUV review. If you are right about the italian army having a purpose for everything, then how do you explain the 2 ashtrays and massive rear speaker? Alright, the ashtrays make sense for the italian army, but tell me why they wanted subwoofers if you know everything

The 3L v6 gave it real punch, the electric bucket seats and windows, the all blue interior. The original intro cassette for the audio (same as yours)... This was just magic. Best car I ever own out of my 5 cheapos (under 1000$ cars)

I have my late father's 1993 Dodge Caravan ES (short wheelbase) with the Chrysler 3.3 V6. Still runs great at 500,000. Only a bit of surface rust on the top of the roof where the original 24 year old paint has worn out; this was never parked in a garage. And the headliner is still perfect without becoming unglued! This was one of his favorite cars to drive of all he owned, and I can understand why. Comfortable seating, good visibility and nice to drive. Everything is sort of middle of the road - acceleration, handling, ride quality, braking. Nothing outstanding, nothing terrible. Just a good, consistent compromise overall. Simple, durable car that is easy and cheap to maintain.

@Marcus Möller a lot of evidence when reading about the history says otherwise. When they're taken care of properly they last for a lifetime. Most transmission failures for the 3.5 and 3.3 were due to lack of servicing or mechanic shops putting the wrong fluid into them. The 3.5 is known for oil sludge but if you change the oil every 2,000-3,000 miles you prevent sludge. The pcv was known to get clogged and stop the engine from operating as well which just required regular cleaning (usually done every oil change to benefit the engine) add to it the 3.5 was known for getting hot fast, cold air intake systems, oil cooling systems, and proper ventilation ( obviously didn't come stock) are a few mods that not only increase horsepower but benefit the engine. Though it couldn't be boosted or supercharged both engines provided decent amounts of power. I get about 240 to 250 horsepower with my 97 3.5. But I've also put in additional performance parts as well as swapped out air restrictions in the intake system and added a performance exhaust and catback system. My 3.3 does just fine stock, only difference it has from factory is custom catback exhaust system and it runs iridium spark plugs. Then again I use my 3.5 more than my 3.3 if I want to have fun, definitely sounds like a v6 mustang or Dodge Challenger.

my mom had the longer, non-AWD cousin of this van from 1991 when I was in high school. When we were shopping for it (used of course), they all had wood panel it seemed - IF it was the extended version. If it was the shorty, it seemed that very few had the wood grain. We wanted the extended edition. Ours was a blue-and-wood-grain pile of crap. The paint peeled off in sheets. The transmission was rebuilt under warranty before 70k miles, and then THREE MORE TIMES before 120k when the engine finally blew up. The hood latch broke - presumably because it broke so much that it was constantly opened. The Infinity cassette deck (which did sound great when it worked, and the joystick fader adjustment was particularly sweet) broke because the amplifier continually blew fuses. It took the rear wiper with it. The power windows broke. The heat rarely worked because the thermostat was permanently opened - the one that came with the van, and three more after that. I hope yours treats you better! :)

I owned a 1991 Dodge Caravan and it was absolutely the worst vehicle I ever owned. Transmission went bad after 72,000 which put it just past the 7 year, 70,000 mile warranty period. Dodge knew they had issues at that time with faulty transmissions and so I took them to small claims court with a stack of evidence backing my claim. Needless to say I won they lost and I got my transmission replaced. Shortly after that I started having issues with the engine so I got rid of it and got a 2002 Camry that lasted me for nearly 300,000 and 15 years and was still running like a Swiss watch when I finally traded it.

You have higher chances finding a caravan around that year compared to finding another running 92 Dodge dynasty like I have. Second owner of it and only 115,000 miles. 3.3 liter v6 engine and the weight of a Honda Accord makes it one awesome tank. Never get stuck in the snow with it either. Had the plan to find an awd caravan to put the awd system into the dynasty. Should also mention I only paid $300 for it and have only needed to put $40 into it.

A really nice van. Have you seen one with the Turbo 2.2 ? I had a friend that had one with MANUAL transmission. That mini van would truly set you back in the seat !

My dad had a green 95 one without the wood paneling. Some of my first memories are in that thing.

I love it! 150 horses is OK for a guy like me. It's got wood, and nice seats, and best of all room for a few beanie babies. I am down with that. I have a 1994 GMC Safari AWD. It's just broke in the miles are so low. But it's a childhood memory having a woody, even if it's fake. My parents first Minivan was a 91' and almost identical to your but was red with wood. There's wasn't AWD, but it survived 8 years of farm land driving just fine. Nice ride I must admit as I think about it, I am a little jealous.

my Family used to have one of these (but not AWD) back in '94 along with a camry station wagon! we only had it for a few years though, and bought a brand new corolla instead.

Thank you so much for this review, my childhood included my parents driving a bright red wood paneled 94' Dodge Caravan It was a gift from my grandparents to them brand new from the dealership. Even had the dealership added child seat package They drive it until the van literally was falling apart I say around 2003

mine was a piece of junk. Never got over 14 MPG, chugged up hill at 45 mph in second gear, back wheels skidded every time you touched the brakes, and after the 3rd engine replacement in a year, I thought I'd better get rid of it before it went off warranty. That was 20 years ago, and I was a die hard Mopar man, but there has never been a Chrysler in my yard since.

I saw one today that looked ot be in excellent original condition, and surely had come out of winter storage. Chrysler must have perfected this platform, as these second gen vans can be seen pretty regularly here in the poorer parts of Montreal (and im sure other towns). Cool vids btw!

89 -93 ? Can't remember ,been to long. Nice little van. Purple with wood grain. Infinity sound crushed dark velvet meeting. No dummy lights all gadges. Luggage rack. Soft touch through out. Drove nice excellent power . 3.0 Mitsubishi engine. Plymouth grand Voyager lst. Best running van I ever owned. I bought the other makes also. Although gm made a superior working van. And my 4x4 arowstar was almost as good. Plymouth = nicest interior, best handling and definitely fastest minivan. Using mid grade gas it always got a honest 20 mpg if driven correctly. Lower step up to get in also. I liked them all for different reasons.

I had a Talkboy. Fun fact: it ran the cassette at a slightly higher speed than normal cassette players, so typical prerecorded tapes sounded slightly too fast/higher pitched, and tapes recorded in it sounded slightly too slow/lower pitched if played in anything other than a Talkboy. I have no idea why they did this.

I still prefer the 85-97 Ford Aerostar vans. My Dad owned a 1990 model he bought used in late summer of 1993 was a previous leased vehicle, was a base model XL short wheelbase 2wd in a cream color with brown interior! Had absolutely no power options and the AC never hardly worked right but back then to finally have your own seats was a luxury especially previously coming from a crammed 86 Chevy Celebrity lol

looks like my first one (a million years ago) but mine was only fwd. It was easier to transport my mom to chemo, and had told her to get one years before since she like garage sales, but she still drove the big buick wagon, years of her youth. Loved the van until the first snow storm (18"). wound up in a wendys wrong side facing, slid across a 4 lane main road, with my sister, fwd, no, would take my old 78 nova over that! It was the only car I ever owned that NEVER got stuck

It was Chrysler's first Electronically Controlled 4 speed transmission. While it did improve fuel economy, it was horribly unreliable. I had a 1992 Chrysler Dynasty and the transmission went out at 92000km's. Just annoying because the 3.3 engine it was mated to was incredibly reliable. They used that engine from 1990 until 2010
