2016 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T

The Grand Caravan is Dodge's minivan, the one that's been a family-hauling staple for years and competes with the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. It drives with a smooth, easygoing character that suits its mission, and the steering is light enough for parking lots and tight driveways. Inside, you get three rows of seats that fold flat into the floor, plus a huge cargo bay behind the third row when you need it. The Grand Caravan has a reputation for being dependable, though a door switch recall from these years is worth checking on before you buy. The R/T is the sporty top trim of the Grand Caravan lineup, sitting above the SE and SXT with a blacked-out grille, unique wheels, and a firmer suspension tune. It shares the same 3.6L V6 making 283 horsepower with the other trims, paired with a six-speed automatic that shifts smoothly, and returns 20 mpg combined. The R/T's standard sport suspension gives it a slightly stiffer ride than the SE or SXT, which helps keep body roll in check when the van is loaded.
