My 25-year-old Plymouth Voyager has about 400,000 mi on it and I still road trip it. I love that the junk yards are so full of these vans. More parts for me.
My grandpa had a blue 2007 Caravan SXT with 66K miles on it but he was adamant on getting a newer model. I was really upset to see it go since it was literally pristine! He said that he would give it to me but traded it in December 2021 for a 2014 Grand Caravan with get this, 75K miles! More miles and a crappier car! Dealer ripped him off and gave him $1500.
Remember folks, just cuz it’s newer doesn’t mean it’s better! We had an ‘06 T&C. Put 130k on it and the only problem it gave us was a leaky coolant pipe. Traded for a ‘10 GC. That thing was junk. Got it at 32k miles, went back at 77k miles. It had so many problems in just that short amount of time. Now all of these new cars are having issues left and right with all these screens and wires. Yea, no thanks.
as a 2006 grand caravan owner this makes me both sad (America's favorite van in the graveyard, one day there won't be any more of them) and happy (parts! parts to let other vans live on!). to anyone saying they're there because they're unreliable, think again! they're there because they made so many of them. mine has never had issues or left me stranded, and i see vans all the time in the Grand Caravan Facebook group with 200k sometimes even 300k on them.if you just keep your maintenance up,they have good lifespans.
Yessir, and as with everything there will always be ones that didn't get maintenance or have problems otherwise I hope to see the economy class vehicles live on because they are a part of so many millions of people's lives. I've had a 95 dodge caravan for almost a year now and I've had so many people come up to me to say they remember being a kid in the back seat.
I liked my Grand Caravans. Those 3.3 & 3.8 engines are reliable and parts are cheap. Plus, the Stow 'n Go made them super practical for builsing supplies.
@@ahmedsaleh268 it's not too bad on the highway for its size. Uses around 10L/100 km, while my Pontiac Vibe, Chevy Malibu or Mitsubishi Mirage all use around 7 L/100 km, and pickups around 14 L/100 km. For its cargo space and passenger capacity it's more efficient!
@@garretrocha8 theres always a lexus in a junkyard just like the 2000 ES300 i currently own at 278,000 miles. the 3.3/3.8 in these vans are very good engines.
We have the 2005 dodge grand caravan for 7 years and the tranny went out because of poor maintenance but we love it so much that we got a new one it’s same one but it’s the Chrysler version from 2004 and it’s amazing to drive no issues so far we have it now for 3 years now and it’s strong 👍
These are all too new- had to look, Plymouth tapped out in 2000, thst year also had the shorter height headlight front end. Though we didn't see the front of all of these 🤷🏻♂️
The fact that this generation of TC and GC are all now 17 to 24 years old speaks volumes. There was one 2008 or later oddball in your video. These were great cars especially with the old school 3.8 V6
LOL - if he can drive them - Some may get to 400 000 miles - but it takes a new transmission every 50 to 60 thousand miles to keep them going. All these are with bad transmissions
You’re going to see a lot of these in the junk yard because they’re incredibly popular most people that get these Chrysler and Dodge minivans beat the hell out of them. I knew somebody that had over 250,000 miles on a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country minivan and it was doing well until it got totaled in a rear accident. She bought it brand new and never had really any issues with it. it’s literally on how you take care of them.
Those look more like real minivans than the later models do. Every time I see one on the road, it’s not older than 2005 even though 96-04 look almost identical. The column shifter looks so much better than the dashboard mounted shifter in later years.
I just got rid of a Chrysler Town and country. Whole bunch of noises coming out from under the hood and when I looked things up there were complaints about this being normal. I got rid of it as fast as I could. Bought a 79 GMC Sierra grande 3500 two-wheel drive dually with a 350 crate engine and a 4-speed. It might look like a beater and use 10 times more gas but it's 10 times more valuable & reliable
Oof! The first one looks like it got torn open by a a can opener! Imagine if he said "And this Plymouth Voyager/Grand Voyager" but then I remembered Plymouth didn't live past 2001. :(
Those vans are everywhere in the Midwest. Young families and proprietors are able to buy them for $2K and fit their entire family or business into them.
My mom loves her town and country and caravans. They can go for a lot of miles if taken care of. One time my moms wouldn't shift gears in drive here it was like a 35 dollar censor and it fixed the issue.
A few of them when they came out. Then... they were everywhere..that was..2007-2013...now older folks and indie contractors drive them...barely see them anymore if at all 😢
If you ever purchased a caravan,voyager,town &country, you’re certified as mentally inept and incapable of buying good vehicles.These vans survived on the reputation of being the first ever minivan and soccer moms keeping up with other soccer moms. There’s a reason we Stan sienna and Odyssey 😎. Superior machines even in their infancy.
I had a 1999 dodge grand caravan. I drove it 79k from when I got it. It broke no one could fix it then I had to take it to pick and pull. Very sad day.
Honestly im not even surprised my family has gone through so many town and countries and grand caravans we’ve lost all of them to either overheating or transmission we finally got a pacifica 4 years ago
Ah, a moment in American history. About 20 years ago moms shuttled the kids off to school, and then soccer practice, piano lessons, or little league. Now the schools are a disaster, they're all homeschooled online, and after classes they just play on their phones.
My brother had on 05 and the freeze plugs rotted out on his 3.8, replaced it and 3 months later the transmission popped. Put a new one in and the freeze plug that he specifically said a paid to have replaced on the replacement engine weren't and rotted out blowing the second engine....... that car was cursed.
Yeah no kidding... I think I'm gonna build myself a Grand Caravan...😂 If somebody at that yard had an inkling they could probably build themselves one that's like brand new, for practically nothing but the time it takes...
I'm always looking for doors for my 05 grand Caravan but no junk or salvage yard has any close to me, if they do they charge up the butt for shipping which i can't afford

Everyone from the Town and Country came to visit in a Grand Caravan
Silly
And the underbody is rusted so bad they are barely hanging together and could break in two on the road at any moment.
Good one

Chrysler made millions of those vans. You’ll be able to get parts forever.
I hope you keep your it for as long as you can you don't see very many Plymouth voyagers around
Damn you really like punishing yourself with a piece of s*** car
No one drives these things anymore you're the only person who's an idiot
@@SteveB88😂 with 400,000 mi on it that thing is done

We should definitely be able to make one good one with all of those?
Chrysler couldn’t make one good one starting with hundreds of thousands of the things.
I was totally going to post this same thing, but you beat me to it! 🤣😂🤣
Unlikely you can find one of them with a good transmission.
Rear subframes are probably swiss cheese. I have seen multiple rear axles break on them too.
You need at least one good Chrysler transmission. Good luck.

I still have my 2005 Grand Caravan. Runs great at 136,000 miles, super reliable.
You don't drive much
Reliable? 🥴🥴
I wouldn't quite say reliable considering how many of these are in the junkyard

They are called "Breeder Vans" in my part of the world.
What part of the country are they called breeder vans?
@@bobblofinshlof9741to be fair he never said country
@@elijahg8281 how many Europeans do you think are running around in Chrysler minivans from the 2000’s?
They used to be relatively popular in the UK in the early to mid 2000s@@bobblofinshlof9741
there are actually quite a few tbh@@bobblofinshlof9741
Look at the ford section. My local place has an entire section for just Taurus and sables. Crazy shit. They have no other model specific sections
F150/Silverado/Ram/Tahoe
Well they make them at the rate of about 60 per hour, so it makes sense that they show up in junkyards en mass.
That's literally the same rate that f150s are produced.
But no Plymouth Voyager 😂

you need to search through all of their interiors to see how much change you get 🤑
Come to grand and country parts city!
Your Chrysler van gets crushed and yours gets crushed and yours gets crushed. It’s like the Oprah G6 but with dodge and Chrysler vans.
A caravan of caravans, looks like we got ourselves a convoy.
Holy Dodge Day!
Man those 1997-06 town and countrys are super reliable i owned a car lot for several years and sold many of them
We have to know the origin behind why you got so many
Frrr
I'm pretty sure they're just throw away cars. When something even minor breaks people don't care to fix it since they're si cheap, so they junk them
@@stupidvideos1449 not like this, too many at once
they made a lot of them and they're cheap resell
Possibly a company's fleet vehicles
Some nice derby vans

Can we see the computer log to see how many of these got turned into tuna fish cans?
You should make a perimeter wall with those caravans

What a superb vehicle. I remember fixing CCD bus on one years ago. Instrument cluster dead due to water in BCM.
That’s a rare sight of a 1997-2001 Toyota Camry at a junkyard crusher.
Oof! The first one looks like it got torn open by a a can opener!

Those vans are everywhere in the Midwest. Young families and proprietors are able to buy them for $2K and fit their entire family or business into them.
That Ram in the back has the good towing mirrors on it. Looks like you have a late 90s early 2000s dealership going on.
My grandpas caravan has 580k. Original engine and transmission
How
My mom loves her town and country and caravans. They can go for a lot of miles if taken care of. One time my moms wouldn't shift gears in drive here it was like a 35 dollar censor and it fixed the issue.
As soon as I was born, my dad went out and bought a grand caravan. He sold it with 40,000 miles for 5 thousand dollars.
Seeing less and less of that generation on the road. Not surprised. Bring back memories tho!
A few of them when they came out. Then... they were everywhere..that was..2007-2013...now older folks and indie contractors drive them...barely see them anymore if at all 😢
I'm lmao I own one of those blue dodge carvans! I need all those parts 😂😂
This was far funnier than it should be
If you ever purchased a caravan,voyager,town &country, you’re certified as mentally inept and incapable of buying good vehicles.These vans survived on the reputation of being the first ever minivan and soccer moms keeping up with other soccer moms.
There’s a reason we Stan sienna and Odyssey 😎. Superior machines even in their infancy.
They build millions of these. Mine had nearly 300,000 miles when I got rid of it.
I had the pleasure of having a white 2007 Grand Caravan. I thought it was a step up from my 2001 Ford Focus wagon.🤪
I submit that the issue is lack of maintenance. My 1994 Plymouth Grand Voyager remains roadworthy.
And they all have less rust on them then mine!!!
I feel like you're trying to tell me something😂
There's poor town and countries do not deserve that. They are the greatest vehicles ever made.
I had a 1999 dodge grand caravan. I drove it 79k from when I got it. It broke no one could fix it then I had to take it to pick and pull. Very sad day.
Damn, Dodge brother's rolling over in there graves.
When I lived in Canada, those grand caravans were popular. Still surprised to see how many of them are still around
It seems like the endless parts source of the Grand Caravan void has dried up xD
Just coincidence or are they organized like that?
So the 05-10 era of minivans is reaching the end of it’s service life I take it lol
Need to race all the ones that run 😂
I see an MKII Jetta there. Surprised it made it that long (I'll retract my surprise if it is either carburetted or digifant)
Sienna's laughing hard 😂
In light of my experience with Chrysler, all of these vans probably have bad transmissions and/or engines and under 100k miles on the odometer.
So many town and countries and caravans you can literally make an actual city or civilization out of those.
Honestly im not even surprised my family has gone through so many town and countries and grand caravans we’ve lost all of them to either overheating or transmission we finally got a pacifica 4 years ago
The amount of Chrysler town and countries 16
The amount of Dodge minivan 17
Take care of your cars kids

NO Rust? Save these vans!
With all of the Chrysler minivans I wonder if you could make 1running vehicle.
Memories of before Sergio Marchionne and Fiat destroyed Chrysler.
The second to the last looks like it needs a little bit of TLC. 😂
I counted 18 Vans total that you got in that were Caravans or Town and Country
Always wanted to take a junkyard town and country V6 and stick it in the boot of some clapped out 80s hatch to make a very budget Metro 6r4
So no need for statements on this 2 brand reliability and longevity...........
I really need a van for my family.
Holy sheep shit ! That's whole lotta ass haulin you have there, lookin good brother 👍
Mopar doesn’t own car dealerships, They’re junk yards too!

Might be enough good parts to build one good van lol
Probably all need transmissions which costs more than the van is worth
Holy shit that a lot of town&country, I see some of them often here in brazilian lands really cool cars
Wonder if there's a minivan demolition derby anywhere nearby?
I bet one of those used to be my grandpa's! The VIN is 1D4GP45RX7B244829

Plymouth voyagers were much more reliable from the 90’s except the salt would rot them out of you didn’t wash the undercarriage
Dodge Days are back !!😂
Do any of them still run there’s a few that looks decent and yes someone would buy a old dodge van for a work van
it looks like it was a fleet since most are the same color
Lesson here, buy a Dodge grand caravan, there’s plenty of parts, durrrrrrrr
My ma had a grand caravan back in middle school 2005...good times...
Was an entire fleet junked at once?!
Pretty sure you could build one solid van from all of them combined haha
