Don White's Timonium Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram

Though the van's underlying structure is the same, Dodge has changed just about everything else to make the Dodge Grand Caravan a more appealing model this year. More aggressive exterior styling and a lower ride height give the latest Grand Caravan some attitude, but the improvements run more than skin deep.

Unlike in past years, there is just one engine choice: the new 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, which makes a class-leading 283 horsepower and returns better fuel economy than last year's top 4.0-liter V6.

Inside the cabin, the new DGC sports a more contemporary design as well as welcome improvements in both materials quality and workmanship. Dodge engineers also have refined the suspension, yielding better driving dynamics and road-holding confidence.

General Overview
The 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan's overriding mechanical change is an adoption of Chrysler's newest six-cylinder engine. Named for the company's five-pointed corporate logo, this "Pentastar" V-6 is now the only engine available in the Grand Caravan and Town & Country.

The 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan, along with the Town & Country, continues with a front-wheel drive layout. A key to efficient packaging, front-wheel drive groups powertrain components in the nose of the vehicle, freeing the rest of the body to accommodate passengers and cargo. And by concentrating the weight of the engine over the wheels that propel the van, front-drive promotes good traction in snow.

Interior Design
The 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan for sale near Baltimore features Stow'n Go seats, one of the most important features included this year, both from a usability stand-point and competitive stand-point. The second and third row seats can be folded into the floor. No more fumbling to release and remove awkward heavy seats and then trying to find a suitable place to store them.

Combine this with standard stain repelling seat trim and you have a truly family-friendly vehicle. A new 3.6-liter V6 sends power through a six-speed automatic transmission to the front wheels. All trims come equipped with a tilt and telescoping steering column, remote keyless entry and a tire pressure monitor. Standard safety features include traction control, stability control and antilock brakes with brake assist.

Additional Features
The 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan's interior gets major improvements. The instrument panel, dashboard, and steering wheel are new, and upgraded materials throughout the cabin contribute to a richer look and feel. Marketed as a "family room on wheels," the Grand Caravan's cabin was indeed a room ripe for redecorating.

The Grand Caravan has evolved and endured, however. Its buyers recognize the usefulness of a motorized carton with big doors, low step-in height, decent fuel economy, and a cornucopia of convenience and connectivity features.
