2011 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY
($39,995 base)
Dodge Grand Caravan
($27,995 base)
You might say that for 2011, the Chrysler Group had a look at its minivans and decided to think inside the box and under the hood.
Start with the engine. The all-new 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 is going into just about every vehicle coming out of Chrysler these days. In the vans, this single engine replaces three V-6 engines. This engine provides lots of power – 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque – and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The Town & Country comes with lots of acceleration, and gear shifting is smooth.
