Traveling with your family is the perfect time to make memories. Before you leave on your next adventure, consider the vehicle you are driving. If you like the idea of a minivan, the 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan is perfect for your next trip. Buying a used van saves money that you can use during your vacation.
Seating
There is no reason to leave anyone home from the road trip. The 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan has plenty of space for seven people to ride comfortably. The seats are spread out over three rows. The back row is a bench seat that helps with cargo space when it is not needed. You have your choice between either cloth or leather seats. If you’re planning a road trip during colder months, enjoy the heated front seats.
Cargo Space
All four trim levels of the Grand Caravan have plenty of cargo space for anything you need on your trip. With all seven seats occupied, 33 cubic feet of space is available. If you don’t need seating for seven, the third row folds flat into the floor. You can use the extra space for a cooler, more bags, or anything else you need for your trip. If you are only traveling with one other person, the second row also folds down for a maximum cargo capacity of 143.8 cubic feet of space.
Technology for the Driver
The van is full of plenty of technology to help you enjoy your road trip. It starts with a heated steering wheel to keep you comfortable in colder months. Take advantage of the remote start system during lousy weather so the van is ready to go as soon as you step inside. It also includes cruise control standard for open roads that allow you to take your foot off the gas. Many of the trims also feature a power liftgate, making it easier to load and unload all of your gear.
Use the rearview camera to get a good look at your surroundings before leaving a parking space. The Bluetooth audio connection means you can make hands-free phone calls and keep you eyes on the road.
Keep Everybody Entertained
One of the most important aspects of planning family travel is entertainment. Luckily, the van takes care of everyone’s entertainment needs on the road for you. Use your steering wheel-mounted controls to find the perfect radio station to fit the mood, whether you want something fun during the day or slower for an overnight drive. All of the trims except for the SE include satellite radio.
Ask the kids to bring a movie or two to watch along the way. A DVD player and video monitor are standard equipment in the GT and SXT trims. USB connections for charging or playing music from your MP3 player are standard in all four trims. All of the vans also include an auxiliary audio plug.
