I have a SuperCrew and my wife has a Dodge Grand Caravan. I don't need 2 SuperCrews. If the R/T option was available I would have purchased that for her. It looks like a cool option.
My wife is 5 feet tall and hates driving my truck. She loves her van and so do the children. I love my truck. I am far from prissy.

I'm not surprised the college age crowd does not like it. They think they will never, ever buy a minivan, because minivans are the epitome of uncool.

For you guys, wait a decade or so until your wife gets pregnant with your 2nd kid, and she starts asking for one. The opinions of your beer drinking buddies and the importance of cruising up to the party, beach or ski resort in a cool ride will be greatly diminished. Trust me.

For the people who actually want and buy mini vans, I think the R/T is pretty cool.

My wife's company '07 Dodge Caravan is due to be turned in......maybe she can get one of these? She can choose from a new Caravan, an Escape, or a Taurus.....

2 kids fit in a Focus and they are a lot closer to the front seats (makes it easier to pop them when they are acting up on long trips )


if I absolutely had to have a family hauler I would beg borrow and steal to get this


before I would buy a bloated pregnant work boot

Complaining about a R/T Minivan?!

Why not just buy a Benz Minivan...



A whopping 500 hp 465 ft/lbs torque, with a massive 6.3l v8. That would rip any F150, Windstar, R/T minivan... along with a couple Mustangs, 'Vettes, and Challengers up in one sweep, all while enjoying a nice movie in the back seat.

I used to have to drive a company minivan... at least it was a Windstar... but I think the gov't should give all employees F-250 diesels.
