1988 Dodge Caravan Preview summaryImage

There are few changes in the 1988 Dodge Caravan from 1987, except that the 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder is now standard on all models. The V6 3.0-liter engine is still an option for those who want more power simply for driving or for hauling cargo. A new towing package was also offered in 1988.

Most owners are pleased with the reliability and durability of the 1988 Dodge Caravan and have owned one for years, many for more than 10 years. Overall ratings were mostly well above average, with a few complaints about repair records. Some owners mention that the rear seats are heavy to remove and require two people for the job.

I really disliked turning radius for parking. Had to stop, back up and then pull in. Sat up high for good view. Not really my cup of tea for daily commuter. Better handy hauler of even 10' trees and actual junk to dispose of and a most excellent vacation Interstate cruiser. It did what it was meant to do a good long time. Nov 27, 2013
