Dodge Caravan 2001-2007 Specifications

The 2001-2007 Dodge Caravan offers two main engine options: a 2.4L inline-4 producing 150 hp and 167 lb-ft of torque, and a 3.3L V6 producing 180 hp and 210 lb-ft of torque. The V6 provides better acceleration and towing capacity, while the inline-4 offers improved fuel efficiency.

The Dodge Caravan comes with a 4-speed automatic transmission for both engine options. The transmission is designed for smooth shifting and durability, with an optional tow/haul mode for the V6 engine.

Standard safety features include dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), and child safety locks. Optional features include side-impact airbags, traction control, and a rear parking assist system.

The 2.4L engine achieves 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, while the 3.3L engine gets 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. These figures are competitive with similar minivans like the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna from the same era.

Recommended maintenance includes oil changes every 3,000-5,000 miles, tire rotation every 7,500 miles, and a comprehensive inspection at 30,000-mile intervals. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific guidelines.

Notable features include power sliding doors, a rear liftgate, dual-zone climate control, and an available DVD entertainment system. Higher trims offer leather seats, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and a premium sound system.

The Caravan offers 149.5 cubic feet of passenger volume and up to 144.5 cubic feet of cargo space with rear seats removed. This is comparable to the Honda Odyssey and slightly larger than the Toyota Sienna.

The 3.3L V6 model has a towing capacity of up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped. The payload capacity is approximately 1,500 lbs, making it suitable for light towing and hauling tasks.
