Engines  
Dodge has never shied away from power. And the 2006 Dodge Caravan and Grand Caravan are no exception. You can choose from these three proven power plants:
  • A 150-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder 16-valve engine, standard on Caravan SE
  • A 180-horsepower 3.3-liter V6, standard on Caravan SXT, and Grand Caravan SE
  • A 3.8-liter V6 that belts out 205 hp, standard on Grand Caravan SXT


And since Caravan has been named the most fuel efficient minivan, it's proving that it's environmentally conscious, too.*

*Based on EPA estimated mileage - 21 City/27 Highway.

Handling  
Caravan's electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission adapts to your driving style to give you a smooth ride and deliver power when you need it. Its standard front-wheel-drive and independent front suspension system provide excellent traction and stability.
Towing  
See the Towing Guide for a great look at what your Caravan and Grand Caravan can handle.
Taxi Cab Torture  
Caravan's transmission has logged over a million torturous miles of taxicab service on the searing concrete of Las Vegas, the hills of San Francisco and the asphalt of Los Angeles. It's only after this stop and go torment that these well designed transmissions qualify for use in every Caravan.
