2001 Chrysler Town & Country Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Chrysler conducted a full redesign for the Town & Country in 2001, bringing the long-running minivan into its fourth generation. Trim levels are the same: buyers can choose between LX, LXi, and Limited, each available in FWD and AWD. A new EX trim is also available for 2001. Chrysler has also added a power lift gate, removable center console, and additional power outlets. The Town & Country's RS platform is also new this year, replacing the previous NS foundation.
The same two Town & Country engine options are carried over from the previous generation. The front-wheel drive LX and LXi models are the only models to house the 3.3 liter Flex Fuel V-6, which provides 180 horsepower and 210 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic is paired with this engine, and fuel economy is estimated at 18/24 mpg. All other models, including the more modestly equipped EX, are powered by the 3.8 liter OHV V-6, generating 215 horsepower and 245 pound-feet of torque. Towing capacity with the 3.8 liter engine is 3500 pounds. Fuel economy drops to 17/22 mpg.
Used car shoppers should note that this model year predates Chrysler's flexible and convenient "Stow N Go" seating, which arrived later in the fourth generation. The lack of configurable seating is a downside to these older Town & Country models.
All models are considerably well-appointed, but the addition of extra amenities can become very costly. Owners have expressed satisfaction with the overall ride quality and car-like handling, generous standard features and safety (especially on the AWD models). However, the Town & Country is still hampered by Chrysler's reliability issues. Common complaints include very frustrating experiences with dealer service, heat and A/C malfunction, faulty electrically systems, and transmission flaws.

I like all of this car. Will buy another next year. Perfect for travelling of course, but easy driving in town and easy for parking. Very comfortable seats, rear lines as well! A bunch of space. Silent inside while driving.Nov 18, 2014

Smooth ride when working properly. I like that the mirrors are attached to the van instead of the doors so you can still see when the doors are open. I would like the second row to have three seats. not easy to clean the areas where second row seats attach, the holes. the jack that came with van broke after two uses.Dec 21, 2012

The good: This van is great looking, very comfortable, handles well, has lots of power, and is great to drive. The captains chairs, rear bucket seats, tv, rear air, and leather make it a comfortable ride for everyone. It's really great for long trips. The 4-wheel disc antilock breaks are nice and I have always felt very safe driving this vehicle. The 3.8 V6 makes for quick acceleration and can handle hauling all your peeps easy.
The bad: Ugh where do I start? As soon as it rolled over on 140k miles, I started having trouble with it. I have 189k miles on it now. I've replaced the transmission, engine, radiator, and a/c compressor as well as other smaller parts. The driver's side rear door motor went first, then the passenger side. The doors still open manually, but not with the buttons anymore. The gas mileage on the 3.8 V6 sucks, about 19mpg on a good day. Because of the mechanical problems I've had with this vehicle (and the cost of repairs!!), I will NEVER own another Chrysler, Dodge, or Plymouth product.May 04, 2012

Purchased used for a more realistic price! As a new vehicle they are grossly overpriced considering the Honda and Toyota have better build quality. The new Odyssey has a potential of 28mpg and 24 for the Sienna. While the Chrysler/Dodge is stuck a the same 17-24mpg. I've seen an average of 18.Apr 11, 2012

We have had our van since it had 18,000 miles, now it has 175,000 it has been great, but we have the bigger 3.8 engine and have taken care of it, oil changes nipped any noises in the bud etc. we have the leather seats which have held up vary well, but they aren't the most comfortable in the year model. It has handled very good and in the mountains has done very well, except on steep downhill grades the brakes will get very hot, its very heavy and you feel it then. over all we have not had any major repairs and hope to drive it for about 100,000 miles!

we picked this up when it was ten years old, but it only had 22,000 miles on it. It literally looked and even smelled like a brand new car. It has plenty of room for lots of people and their stuff. The leather interior is very nice, except on wintery cold days. The automatic side doors have come in handy, and it is one of the quietest cars I have ever owned. It even has guts (for a minivan). All of the gauges are handy, although switching the read outs on the ceiling console is tricky if you are driving.Dec 20, 2011

Overall, this is a stellar family vehicle for anyone who lives in a snowy climate or you want something to pull a ski boat with the family and all the camping gear! Wish they still made the AWD limited I'd buy another one!Dec 15, 2011

Won't own another one that's for sure. Put a transmission in at 82,000 and another one at 160,000. Auto Seats had problems, shorted out and stopped working. I have one sliding door that chooses when it wants to lock or unlock and the back liftgate only works when it is warm and dry outside. Not good during wet St. Louis springs or snowy winters. I am in a wheelchair so having that liftgate work is important to me. !st and last Chrysler I will ever own--and they were built in our city, but not anymore!

Love the space availability for trunk storage and
detachable rear seats for cargo space. Power
options are equally awesome. Rear heat/AC control
is highly remarkable. It is a fun vehicle for
family trips with additional DC power outlets for
electronics and other devices utilization.Mar 01, 2011

Just as a disclaimer, I don't own this car so this review may not be the
fairest in the world.
Anyway, I've only driven this a few times and haven't exactly enjoyed
doing so. The styling is as boring as it gets and it doesn't stand out in a
crowded parking lot (as my mom can attest). The interior build quality
is horrible. The plastic used in the interior is some of the cheapest I've
ever seen and it's beginning to slowly fall apart. The car's never broken
down on anyone, but it has had issues, including one which involved an
engine replacement. The performance is what you'd expect from a car
of this size, complete with sluggish acceleration and terrible brakes.
The steering is surprisingly light though, which is essential for such a
huge car like this. The fuel economy is pretty bad as well. I suppose it's
alright for a minivan, and it does have some nice features, but
personally I'd pick something else.Dec 28, 2010

best car on earth, the seating is unique and simply beutiful
also it is very comptorable because the engien is not to
small for the vehicle and the body does not overpower the
accual car itself. v6 3.8 litre engien is reliable and only
weighs about 650 pounds. the metalic colour on it just kills
me when its all cleaned up and in the sun it sparkles,
mr.clean should have this car.Feb 22, 2010

Minivans may not be sexy but they are the most useable vehicle you can imagine. Good mileage considering it had AWD and usually loaded with kids. Very comfortable and extremely surefooted in rain or snow. Inside and out very good looking. Best car I owned until I got my new AWD Sienna van. Except for a couple major problems, an awesome van. Had to replace the transmission control module at about 70k miles and overheated the engine pulling a boat - never the same after that.Jul 02, 2009

Sweet ride - comfy for people and capable of hauling some serious cargo with rear seats (easily) removed. Surprised me with getting better mileage than any other 6 cylinder Dodge/Plymouth minivans we have owned, despite being loaded with all the goodies. Complaints about the van include the body metal seemingly more prone to dents/dings than previous years, and the AC dying at 72k miles - a common problem with my past minivans that did not seem to get fixed in this year either. Overall though, this was our first T&C after owning other Dodge/Plymouth versions from other years and we will be buying only T&C models from now on... Jan 03, 2009

Despite all the cars we own this car is so fun we take it everywhere from places around home, all our college/university campuses and out of state vacations like Michigan. Our van gets good gas mileage but I just wish somebody would do something about those skyrocketing gas prices even though there may cheaper gas out of state usually. This car probably been in the shop every once in a while. The only problem is one of the doors has to shut manually. The van has a nice inside but when that door is open and our wheaten terrier is out it's fun for her to hop right in and climb all over the seats till my dad gets her out. I just wish it had a dvd player in it. Everything else in the car works. Aug 09, 2008

We bought this car in 2000 as a new model year for the 2001 with all of the electronics and automatic doors and etc. For the first few years it was great and ran great. Took several trips in it with the family. However, as soon as the warrenty ran out (like with every story) the thing started to have problems. Automatic doors stopped working, we replaced the AC unit twice to the tune of $1800 and the service at our local Chrysler dealership (bankston) was horrible. The van has over 140k on it and is still running, but all of the little problems are troublesome and expense to fix.Apr 18, 2008

We have a family of six and thought that this would be an ideal vehicle. The interior size is decent. The vehicle itself is one repair after another. Once my vehicle came out of warranty, everything fell apart on this vehicle. From the struts to the transmission, and everything thing in between. Sep 23, 2007
