New appointments for 2003 include a factory-installed DVD system, power sunroof, and power adjustable brake and accelerator pedals capable of moving up to 2.75 inches rearward. The buying public considers the Dodge Caravan nameplate tops in the minivan segment, and that could be because a number of minivan firsts landed on Caravan and Grand Caravan, including power up/down lift gate, power dual sliding doors, three-zone temperature control system, and Easy-Out roller rear seats. Front wheel drive Grand Caravan does have a better than expected ride quality, which is complimented by a $645 trailer tow packaging that includes load-leveling and height control. (Load leveling and height control is standard with all wheel drive Grand Caravan.) Grand Caravan offers two engine choices: a 3.3-liter V6 or a 3.8-liter V6. Both engines mate to a four-speed automatic transaxle. While the interior isn’t flashy, the practicality is appropriate to a vehicle designed for buyers that want comfort over style. While Dodge minivans are noted for seats that can be folded, moved or removed, only one side of the driver’s seat includes a pull-down armrest. For a base price of $27,360, the Grand Caravan Sport standard list includes anti-lock braking system, universal garage opener, under-seat lockable storage bin, rear seatback grocery hooks, power outlets, and power/heated foldaway side mirrors. Mileage estimates for a minivan fitted with the 3.8-liter engine are 18 city and 25 highway.
