2004 Chrysler Town & Country Review
Chrysler drops the Voyager name for 2004 and realigns its Town & Country lineup. Voyager is replaced by a base Town & Country model. The balance of the line continues in extended-length form, with a body nearly a foot longer than the base model's. Base and extended-length LX, eX, Touring, and Limited models have front-wheel drive. Touring AWD and Limited AWD versions have all-wheel drive. Base and LX use a 3.3-liter V6, the others a 3.8-liter V6. All have automatic transmission. A power liftgate and power operation for both sliding side doors is standard on all but base and LX models. ABS is optional on the base model, standard on the others. All Town & Countrys seat seven. The 3rd-row seat does not fold into the floor as on some rivals. All but base and LX have a split 3rd-row bench seat with 55-lb portions that remove, recline, or fold. Front side airbags are standard on the Limited, optional elsewhere. Curtain side airbags are not offered. Most models offer a height-adjustable rear parcel shelf with pop-up storage dividers. Other options include power-adjustable pedals and rear DVD entertainment. For '04, a Platinum Series option package for the Touring celebrates the 20th anniversary of the first Chrysler-built minivan. It includes unique alloy wheels, DVD entertainment, and special trim and badging. Also for '04, all but the base and LX have a standard tire-pressure monitor. Dodge Caravan shares this design and most mechanical features. Expected in Spring 2004 as an early '05 model is a revised Town & Country featuring available curtain side airbags along with 2nd- and 3rd-row seats that fold flat with the floor. However, all-wheel drive will no longer be offered.
News
Chrysler and Dodge minivans have lately been losing sales to newer-design rivals with fold-flush seats and similar conveniences. That's why the '05s with the new "Stow 'n Go" seats went on sale so early. Next on the to-do list is a complete redesign for 2006 or '07. It's said to give priority to achieving the top five-star rating in government crash tests, thus erasing another competitive deficit of Chrysler's current minivans.
