  • If only the villager sport was that fast ....that will be perfect

  • Jaw... Dropped... My mom needs one of these. :O

  • Thats one hell of a minivan

  • I'm a taxi driver. My company uses minivans.... I only wish i had this one... god I never thought I'd hear myself say I wish i could drive a minivan.

  • This caravan can cause a big surprise to the little civic ricers !

  • Just in case moms need to get to school faster.

  • i just pooped a little...

  • The gearbox is shifts like a Mercedes.

  • What a shitter!

  • This van is really fucking fun to drive. I have a rental while my car is in the shop. I was absolutely pissed when they told me all they had were vans. But then they pulled up in this and that all changed. The engine in this thing is absolutely amazing. It has great get up and go, and the fact that it takes E85 saves you a ton of money. (you can still put unleaded in it, but why? E85 is 3.35 here.) I'm 22 and this van is a beast and I'm not ashamed to drive it ha.

  • @imadonkeykickme the e85 is great yeah but its hard to find alot of places with it and you basicly get less burnable fuel per gallon more power and better fuel economy but less per gallon if you get what i mean so if your planning on getting something for the e85 its not very special

  • @gradxg Yeah I understand what you are saying. Believe me it pretty much just burns through E85. And the only place by me that I can find that sells it, is by my work, which is over 30 miles away. So it kinda sucks but all in all this is really a great van to drive and has amazing space and even on unleaded it still gets great gas mileage.

  • @imadonkeykickme ive been in the town and country which is basicly a luxury version of this and it was a great van

  • man that sounds bether that the challenger v6 lol

  • Wow I didn't realize dodge changed the gauge cluster for 2010 and it looks a lot better than this one. This reminds me of the old 01-07 caravans. The 4.0L is supposed to be quicker than the new 3.6L but I'd rather lose a bit of speed for the refinement and fuel economy of the new engine. This sounds noisy and unrefined

  • My mom has this same van.. And I tell you what don't ever step on it from a stop and think it won't chirp.. I'm pretty sure it'll beat our 2005 expedition.

  • Damn! Did you all hear it peeling out? That's some power!

  • My moms Toyota sienna would smoke this no joke. AWD 0-60 7.2 secs with people in the back lmao

  • @mazda6tuner99

    i love siennas but i just came from motor trend where they tested the 2011 models and the dodge beat the sienna by .5seconds...remember it has 15 more bhp

    by 100mph the gap widened to 4sec between the two

  • @mazda6tuner99 love how ur debating whos MINIVAN is faster

  • @FSCMV6 lol man bunch of soccer moms here haha

  • They should make a Caravan SRT-8... With RWD, just sayin'

  • @cdesha The Aerostar will be the last decent RWD minivan made, fuel econ and emissions fag-gets killed the idea

  • @cdesha The Aerostar will be the last decent RWD minivan made, fuel econ and emissions faggets killed the idea

  • Agreed. They're the only minivan I've seen get on two wheels and not flip.

  • hey its as fast as my stock 96 civic ex lol

  • lmao, the funny thing is.. that mini van just rocked honda's acura's, mustangs and camaros all over the worlds asses

  • dude 0-60 8 seconds for a van not bad, gotta love the new trannys they are putting in these, they sound beastly

  • My mom drives a Dodge Caravan, and she thinks she owns a "sports van" on the highway, she drives it like it is 2 inches big, and she goes 0-60 in like 6 seconds, she is horrible!

  • My only complaints about the grand caravan are:

    1) its braking: the grand caravan lurches forward, no matter how softly i may brake. i have compared this to my dad's 1988 Toyota cressida, and the cressida doesnt lurch.

    Positive:

    1) this van's handling/steering is really good for a vehicle so large. (negates the wide turns a bit)

    Me being 6 feet one inches and getting my first car soon enough, i will now look for a car with more leg/headroom. any suggestions?

    1990s cars only though.

  • @pwnrzero jeep wrangler, if you dont mind driving a stick most of them are personally i prefer stick vs. auto, they a pretty roomy and you can easily find one under 5K

  • Anyone put a stopwatch on this? How long is it?

  • @markkjay About 7.5 seconds to 60. Certainly not bad for a van.

  • @ambientflier

    Yeah I finally drove one of these earlier today, SXT 4.0. Real quick, nice 6-speed.

  • @ambientflier it beats their own challenger v6 .. WIN !

  • thats quick haha. i thoght it would have taken about 10 years to get to 60

  • damn im impressed!

  • Wow!! Very quick. 6spd?

  • hahaha this thing would burn a challenger

  • @illKill sadly, the 3.5 v6 challenger probably would get whopped by this. the 4.0 is beastly...sounds good too.

  • @illKill ... I think its hilarious that their own minivan can smoke their "pony car" ! " kids I just picked up a new Caravan, and you will NEVER EVER be late for soccer !" 

  • The 4th gear sounds aweosme

  • Almost pulls like its got a tune.

  • i just got done watching a challeger v6.

    here are the results.

    challenger v6 0-60 9.1 sec.

    dodge grand caravan 0-60 8.4 sec.

  • @junktoyota Isnt that amazing??? A minivan owns a pony car LLLOOOOOOLL. Thats embarassing for the challenger :D

  • @LazBro123

    ya, they should put 4.0 v6 in the challenger instead of the fricken 3.5 v6

  • @junktoyota I know...........They really should. With a four liter, it will for sure keep up with the other Challengers

  • @junktoyota i think they should also but for 2011 i think they are putting in the new 3.6

  • @junktoyota the 6 speed has very efficient gearing compare to the 4 or 5 speed in the challengers. it's keeps the RPM's up in the power band. can't wait for the dual clutch auto's in all their cars.

  • it's still awesome how the 4.0 beats the 3.3 in fuel ratings with 75 extra horsepowers

  • my wife has an 03 gc sport and it goes pretty good if u punch it, it will smoke em lol on the highway u can be doin 90 and not know it lol i just told her imma make a vid of it.

  • Fast for a grocery getter!

  • ya chrysler/dodge makes the fastest minivans currently. and when they come out with the all new 3.6L V6 to replace the others, it will be even faster

  • this is a 4 liter

  • ya u think i dont that...im saying when the new engines comes out it will be a 3.6L. i dont know if that is going to be standard, cuz they are also making a 3.0L and a 3.3L

  • when are they making a 3.6 and you dont have to be mean about it.

  • i want being mean about it, i just thought it was weird that u didnt think i know that since it tells you the engine during the vid. this new 3.6L (called pentastar engine) will come first in the 2011 grand cherokee which goes for sale in may. at least 280hp and 12% improve in fuel efficiency. u should look up pentastar v6 on google, a lot of people actually know about it

  • which is better the 4.0 or the 3.6?

  • the new v6 will be better than EVERY current chrysler v6 in power and fuel efficiency. the 3.6L is the first of the new v6's which will be in 2011 grand cherokee. and chrysler is getting rid of the 4.7L v8 because the new v6 will get equal or more power than it since the v8 is heavier. lastly, chrysler is getting rid of the 6.1L srt8 hemi and replace with a 6.4L srt8 hemi. you will see it first in 2011 charger comes out in november or december. but there are no pictures of it yet =(

  • oh sweet (about the charger and jeep) and thanks.!

  • @vipermoon64 not that anyone cares but i read that the redesign 2012 nissan quest will have 3.7 liter 300 hp. That 3.6 coming out better b a good engine if it wants 2 stay ahead. hopefully the quest will b more reliable this time around...

  • the transmission is called 62TE 6 speed automatic(behaves like a manual if you want to) my mom's minivan has a 3.8L with the 6 speed and it's a charm the transmission is smooth!

  • that's a damn good auto tranny

  • 8.44 seconds

  • I was practically given a Dodge Grande Caravan 1997 in decent shape and everything on it is looked after. So happy for mine. Only 1,000 CAD dollars. everyone who sees me driving it says, things like, "Got kids?" I'm llike nope. "It's in great condition" "I know!" I can't complain if I do have to get it fixed because I got it so dirt cheap. Only 12 years old going on 13. I am happy and proud of myself. Cars can only do so little. They do save gas money though but vans and trucks are where it's at

  • nice, i assume the 2010 sxt model performs just about the same with the v6 4.0 ? my dad got himself one from the windsor plant in ontario, saved up to 9k on it

  • about 8 sec 0-60.

  • i like the gearing

  • @4wheeler14 i totally agree my mom has a 2008 dodge grand caravan se and it has good power to be a 3.3l

  • not bad for a minivan

  • Yea, I floored it once, and my friend goes "You car sounds like it shouldn't be a minivan"

    They sound really nice.

  • my chevy ventureslike that too i love chevys dodges and fords

  • @atgskater14 ya i got a 02 venture and the v6 sounds good

  • I know right

  • why do the grand caravans seem to have a raspier sound than the other dodges

  • they actually have a larger engine than most dodges, besides trucks

  • Just picked mine up about a month ago - Dodge finally gave us POWER - I had a big grin on my face the first time I let 'er rip through the gears. Sure you could argue this and that goes faster - thats not the point - this Dodge Caravan (my third) Rocks and sounds so sweet doing it.

    PS - as far as I know all US vans come with 3yr BTB wty & lifetime powertrain wty - I was surprised that even the CV joints, TCM and waterpump are covered life time - as read from my wty book.

  • I have an 08 Dodge Caravan SE

    3.3L

    @175Hp

    and trust me, its SO FUCKING SLOw

    it doesn't even have RPM meter..

    Dodge Caravan = EXTREMELY unreliable

    trust me, stay away from this junk

  • You think minivans are supposed to be fast? They're for hauling people around...just because Mommy took you to the DMV to get your learners permit doesn't mean you should be trying to race around in her van.

  • I don't care much about speed. I have a Corolla myself, my family owns the Caravan. I don't race in the minivan. I'm talking about the minivans quality. Dodge Caravan extremely unreliable, the van has sliding door issues, brake problems and had 3 crictical recalls already. My family already spent $2,300. Just because you can't afford doesn't mean you can correct people. You don't own a 08' Caravan.. so please stfu

    If you are still doubtful, I'll make a video of the van and show you.

  • if it's an '08 it's still under warranty. you don't need to be spending money on repairs when the vehicle is covered under warranty and if you do then that means you're stupid. I own a Caravan so I'll talk.

    And I think you do care about speed..."SO FUCKING SLOw"

  • Nooo, dude the warranty is only on power train

    brake problems and struts and some other stuff aren't covered, and unfortunately those are the parts that got messed up

  • what happened to the bumper to bumper warranty? 3 years/36000 miles

  • Which model do you have?

    I have SE

  • We use KMs is CANADA

  • That's even better, then it's 0-100! Actually 62 mph.

  • struts are supposed to be covered for 3/36 k. with the extended warranty on my car its covered up to 75k or 7yrs. my powrtrain is 10 years or lifetime miles! Trust me i wont have my car for 10 yrs at this rate of miles. 2008 versa with 91k miles

  • Man, i didn't want to come off rude,

    but the minivan is a liability instead of asset.

  • no bumper to bumper warranty?

    lol, i call bs

  • read the fine print, it does not cover some parts

  • Do you even know what bumper to bumper warranty means?

    stop try to act smart. your so fucking ignorant.

    Not all cars get bumper to bumper you moron. You have to pay extra for that warranty. Dodge doesn't offer it for free on their vehicles.

    You claim to have a caravan, you don't even know what model u have, how should I believe you? fucking liar

  • My Caravan is an SE with a 3.3l V6....the van has been reliable with no such problems that you have mentioned...and I live in Canada too. Every single Chrysler vehicle sold in Canada has, at the very least, a bumper to bumper warranty lasting 3 years or 60k KM's, whichever comes first. Trust me buddy, I would know. Don't be angry at me because you didn't use your warranty and got ripped off by the service department. Not my fault.

  • not every car gets bumper to bumper warranty, it has to be bought separately, plus bumper to bumper does not cover most parts.. its a pointless warranty.. they just use it to rip people off

  • well at least i made good use of mine. hell, the dealer even fixed parts that i broke by accident.

  • ur right, chrysler isnt dat reliable

  • learn how to talk

  • If that kids parents buy the bottom of the line minivan with the bottom of the line engine and bottom of the line everything else how does he expect it to be fast and have good quality?

  • thats the sxt 4.0 liter. in the s.e. version its just different kinds of features, same quality, like no touchscreen, not tv, no roof racks that type of stuff.

  • caravans are way more reliable than any other van, the 3.3 is the base engine and you cant expect much, they are reliable. if you going to bitch so much you should have got the 3.8 or 4.0 dumbass.

  • dat is fast

  • everything is so fast nowdays i mean like 10 years

    ago you would be lucky to have a car that fast!!!!!!!!!

  • i want a mini van now

  • The Challenger deserves this powertrain. Its faster than the Challengers as well

  • damn right it does... 4spd and their 3.5 is a JOKE in that car .. !

  • lol i know

  • Agree.

  • thats one fast mini van

  • ill race a sienna any day in my 05 3.3 230 hp and ill smoke it, anyways ahahha is this sxt a 3.8 or 4.0L? the 4.0L are rated at 278 stock.

  • If your talking about a Caravan killing a Sienna that's funny, not gonna happen.

  • sienna's suck

  • Sure keep thinking that lol

  • Sienna is faster due to being lighter than the Dodge.

  • Pretty fast. Love the 4.0. And who cares about a sienna. They look like a mutated beetle.

  • Holy crap that is the comparison I've been looking for forever!

  • haha.well...they do. and the quest looks like a bloated altima. :-)

  • thats a fast mini van..lol

  • toyota sienna has a 3.5 and still beats the dodge in 0-60 doing 6.8 to 7.0 seconds

  • nice transmition :D

  • That's pretty quick for a minivan! 8.5s

  • thats fast:)

  • Now THATS soccer mom PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!! LOL

  • especially when little timmy is running late!!!!

  • is it me or do dodges seem to have more of a raspier sound

  • Over the Chrysler versions? Yes I have noticed that its kinda odd.

  • Yeah, Chryslers are more quiet like cause there more luxurious maybe?

  • who cares whos car goes faster just shut up

  • I don't have anything against this van, but both of my Volvos would beat it in any type of acceleration test. Does that anger you?

  • both of your volvos. it angers me that you think they can.

    they cannot

  • For the love of god, you do not even know what the hell i drive.

  • I'd say the Volvo would beat it! I've test driven one, they are sexy fast lol

  • Truer words were never spoken. Which Volvo did you test drive?

  • nothing truly amazing, but the new C30. I drove both the manual and automatic. The pull of that turbo is exciting (not the word i'm looking for). I had driven a few other turbo's, the Jetta 2.0T to name one, and the Volvo is so much more refined with a broader range of torque. I timed this at 8.5 seconds 0-60, the Volvo easily does 6.5 seconds.

  • Yeah, Volvos 2.5T engine is quite amazing, it makes all of its torque between 1500-4500rpm. I have a V70 2.4T and V70 T5. Although the 2.4T doesn't have as much horsepower as the T5, it feels stronger until about 85mph.

  • Yea, being that I currently drive a wagon, I'm a huge fan of the the V70, not so much the XC70.

  • What was that- 7 seconds? In a minivan?

    Thats not bad at all for a mommymobile. I'll trade my WRX for it when hell freezes over, but not bad.

  • They do 0-60 in a little over 8 seconds. The toyota sienna is faster.

  • And that's pertinent to the situation how?

  • Because, people were impressed with the Grand Caravan, which does 0-60 in 8.1 seconds. However, it is not the fastest minivan out there.

  • Oh, and you felt it was so important to mention the almighty Toyota Sienna. Right. And your Volvo is faster too isn't it?

  • Yes it is. My Volvo does 0-60 in 7.1 seconds.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    no it doesn't.

  • As if you knew what model it was.

  • s70 t5

  • Sorry, but you are incorrect.

  • Wow. What a drop from 3rd to 4th gear. Wouldn't it be smarter for dodge to make the 1st through 3rd gear ratios just a tiny bit longer? Seems to me like the constant shifts slow it down

  • not bad at all !!

  • You people have to admit that's impressive for a mini van, especially considering that less than a decade ago these things were lucky if they hit 60 in less than 10 seconds.

  • LOL THAT DIDNT SOUND HALF BAD!

  • Dare I say the motor sounded pretty OK for a chrysler.

  • This Chrysler minivan uses a 6 speed automatic called the "62te" which is a derivative of the old "41te" used in many Chrysler vehicles. Of course, the original a604 was the design which spawned all of these derivatives. It is 100% a Chrysler transmission, and should not be confused with the NAG1 5 speed automatic that is a Mercedes designed unit used in some RWD and all AWD LX cars.

  • For the LX RWD cars (300, Charger, Challenger) which do not use the NAG 1 5 speed auto they use the "42rle" which is a complete 100% Chrysler design and was basically a beefed up version of the 41te and also designed for a RWD configuration.

  • It sounds great.

  • not bad. And the tranny is very much like a Mercedes'. Short gear ratios with very quick smooth shifts.

  • thats because it is a mercedes transmission

  • Why the hell did I get rated down for this? it IS a MB transmission! They and chrysler shared parts! (mainly chrysler used MB parts, but still.)

  • the 6 speed auto in this caravan isn't a mercedes transmission. it's a chrysler transmission.

  • Wow for a big ass 4.0L Its not as quick as I thought.. But why are the rpm Is so HIGH..

  • Have you considered the weight of this beast? Don't be so quick to judge based on gauges alone. The reason the RPM stay so high is the transmission is keeping the engine in the rev band so as to keep the power at it's peak. Luckily this has a six speed so there are many gears between low and high to achieve keeping it in said powerband.

  • too bad they suck..oh an I got 8.2 seconds on my stopwatch. Not too bad for a van. I thought it would be quicker with the 4.0L but guess not as quick as the Sienna. My sienna is fast as hell.

  • WOW LOOK WHO IT IS

    just get a life. of course you got 8.2 seconds on your stopwatch. nothing is as fast as your sienna right?

  • Comment removed

  • Every single 0-60 video I see you commenting on you always have something bad to say for the vehicle being filmed and then you ALWAYS JUST HAVE TO say how MUCH FASTER YOUR SIENNA IS. If you have to go around to videos all the time just to try and make yourself feel better then you should probably get social help.

    If you don't want me to respond to your STUPID ASS comments then STOP POSTING THEM.

  • XD...

  • My cousin and his wife have one of these in red fully loaded 4.0 liter engine and they love it.
