I found this video when I was researching the Pacifica. I actually just bought a Limited S Appearance with UConnect and with the Safety Sphere on Saturday. I love, love, love this mini van. I feel like a total dork saying that, but after car shopping for the past six months, I couldn’t find something that checked every box. My kids are older, so I almost could have bought anything. But car shopping since Covid is a nightmare. The dealerships have low inventory and are charging market adjustments up to 7k where I live on Hondas, Toyotas, and Kias. I found my Pacifica about 90 miles from where I live. They not only sold me the car 3k below MSRP, but they also delivered it to my house and gave me a great deal on my trade. It was the easiest car buying experience ever - no pressure and a great deal! I never thought I’d be so excited about a mini van, but it has every feature you could possibly want, it’s easy to drive and park, and it doesn’t need premium gas. I was driving a BMW that was a nuisance to maintain and didn’t have the versatility that this car has. Great video!

I’m very interested in buying one of these. I’m just a little hesitant due to Chrysler’s reputation for vehicles with poor reliability. Having said that I bought a used (2009) Toyota Camry in 2020 that turned out to be a total money pit. I’m dumping it. So you can’t ALWAYS rely on brand reputation. I’ve been looking at Mazda CX5’s, used Lexus RX 350’s (supposed to be super reliable), but the minivan caught my attention, and the more I learn about the Chrysler Pacifica, the more I’m loving it… much like the guy in the video! LOL My question is… since you’ve owned several, did you have any major problems/mechanical issues or expensive repairs on any of yours? I hope that it’s a reliable vehicle when properly cared for, because there are aspects of BOTH the Toyota Sienna AND the Honda Odyssey that I REALLY dislike, so I’m not interested in them. And the Kia Carnival is just too new and unproven, too expensive, and Kia has a terrible rep for reliability, even though it has some nice features. I would definitely buy a Pacifica if I felt pretty confident that it was not going to be another money pit like my current Toyota Camry.

With all the seats stowed, the storage compartment deck is 49 inches by 100, large enough for full sheets of plywood. AND, the 3rd row has its own moonroof.

@commonsenseguy8189 I have a 2021 model with 15,000 miles so far. My solution to reliability concerns was to get the Mopar 85K warranty. I also maintain my cars beyond what the manual says. I drive more miles electric than I do on the engine. This means my 6 momth and 5K oil changes are more like 2500 miles or less changes. The transmission in the hybrid is basically a knockoff of the one in a Toyota hybrid. It is a simple design and despite what even the salesman will tell you, it is not a cvt. There are no belts on it, just a few simple gears. The fluid replacement is like an oil change. It removes most of the fluid and is easy to do. The brakes should last 100K or more thanks to regen braking. There is even a low range that amps up the regen. Going down a mountain last year I ended up adding 25% to the battery. We will see how it does in the long term, but so far zero problems with it other than some software updates. They designed the tailgate button to have a timeout on the close working. People complained so they updated it snd works great now.

@@MeliorIlle The good thing about Mopar warranties is you can buy them online from a dealer that specializes in them, this makes the cost very reasonable. I paid 1,500 all at once for an 8 year 85k bumper to bumper warranty. Just search for Chrysler factory warranty and you will find them. For the hybrid you have to get the best one for everything to be covered but the cost is reasonable so not an issue,

I understand that the Pacifica has a reputation for needing frequent repairs shortly after the warranty expires... Is that true?

If a person is worried about what people think if you buy a mini van they need to get a life. My wife and I love to travel. We have had two mini vans and there is nothing better to travel in. Room, comfort, better gas mileage than a SUV unless you get a very small SUV. Pull up your big boy pants and quit worrying about other people and get what y ou will really enjoy.

I love mini vans... I DGAF.. They're comfortable, ride nice, perfect height! The Pacifica is cool but I still like the Dodge Caravan better. Getting rid of the legendary Caravan was just dumb

I have loved my 2018 Pacifica....but, just found out they have an engine failure at about 77,000 miles. Beware. Look it up. Looks like it is also affecting 2019 and don't know how far up the chain it goes.

Minivans are probably the only real class of vehicles that get the best innovations. The fact that you can plug in the microwave into a pure sine wave inverter on the new sienna with its built in fridge and its high mpg makes for an awesome road trip car. Meanwhile, all these dumb SUVs are competing in plastic cladding to look tough and sacrifice efficiency. Buy Minivans for your families, people. They're clever, more efficient and just as safe as a station wagon on stilts.
