2005-2007 Chrysler Town & Country: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

Chrysler updated its minivans for 2005, adding available curtain side airbags and fold-away 2nd- and 3rd-row seats, but dropping all-wheel drive. Town & Country was an upscale version of the Dodge Caravan. It came in regular- and extended-length models, both with 7-passenger seating. Base regular-length and LX extended-length models had a 3.3-liter V6. Touring and Limited extended models had a 3.8 V6. All had automatic transmission. Traction control was available on extendeds. ABS was standard on extendeds, optional on regulars. Newly standard on all was a driver knee airbag. Newly available were curtain side airbags that cover all three seating rows; they replaced front side airbags and were standard on the top-line Limited model, optional on other Town & Countrys. A tire-pressure monitor was a new standard feature on Touring and Limited. Exclusive to extendeds was Chrysler's "Stow 'n Go" 2nd- and 3rd-row seats that fold into floorwells. When the seats are raised, the wells become covered storage bins. Other available features included power sliding side doors, power liftgate, power-adjustable pedals, DVD entertainment, and navigation system. Newly available were rear obstacle detection; Chrysler's UConnect, which uses the audio system as a hands-free wireless link to cell phones; and ceiling tracks that allow moving and removing such items as storage bins, a CD holder, and a first-aid kit.
