Overview & Reviews

For 2013, the price drops on the Dodge Grand Caravan's base trim level, but it also substitutes a cheaper second-row bench seat for Stow 'n Go captain's chairs. Upper trims receive more standard features and the optional Blu-ray-compatible DVD entertainment system (which now offers an HDMI input and dual USB ports). Stow 'n Go seats are now called Super Stow 'n Go and require only the tug of one lever to disappear quickly.

  Fun to drive - 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By johnwanamaker - April 24 - 10:15 pm

  As 2 over 70 people we like the upright seats of a mini-van. Visibility is great in all directions. Power was very adequate on a recent trip in the mountains. It was helpful to downshift with the lever because it would try to shift up too soon otherwise. Mileage was very good even when doing lots of driving in 4th. Mileage is much better (27+ at high speeds (70+) than around town (23) Stow and go seating is the only way to go. We haul a lot of stuff and need to put the seats down often. Very easy to do.

  Experienced Driver of Grand Caravan - 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By nmdude - February 25 - 6:26 am

  I enjoy driving the Dodge Caravan so I bought one. There have been concerns about the six speed transmission. I have specifically rented a SXT model to haul film lighting.The rental was quite less than SUVs. The transmission is sensitive and needs understanding. The six speed transmission allows one to save on fuel costs whether driving through hilly country or flat lands at highway speeds. Carrying 1 ton of cargo, it drives well granted, you understand how to shift. There is a reason why the shifter is located next to the speedometer. 10, 500 ft above sea level it performed well on hairpin turns. Height, stow n go, 12V inputs, width, wheel size 5stars.

  A good value - 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan
  By 04quadcab - October 6 - 3:32 am

  2013 Grand Caravan SXT; currently with about 10,000 miles on it. I really wouldnt consider any minivan that didnt have some version of Stow&Go. I have the second row seats folded down almost as much as I have them up, and I wouldnt like having to remove the seat to free up that space, since you then have to leave it at home and cant haul passengers in that area. Other likes: Great power, good gas mileage-I get 27 at 70-75 mph (town mileage is not great, tho). Quiet, smooth ride. Much less expensive to buy than Honda or Toyota. Dislikes: 6 spd tranny is OK, but not as smooth or predictable as could be. Drivers seat needs more rearward travel; legroom is limited.
