2006 Chrysler Town & Country Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Chrysler has improved the safety of Town & Country minivan for 2006, by updating the side-curtain airbag system and reinforcing the roof and sides. There are no other significant changes.
In 2006, there are four T&C models available: Base, LX, Touring, and Limited.The Base model has an 113.3 inch wheelbase, while the other three models are longer, at 119.3 inches.
The Town & Country lineup covers a wide price range, with the Base and top shelf Limited separated by about $15,000. Chrysler presents the Town & Country as an upscale family vehicle, and even the base model comes equipped with standard features like a CD sound system, cruise control, keyless entry, air conditioning, and power windows and door locks.
On the LX, Touring and Limited, the second row bench is replaced two captains chairs, and Chrysler's "Stow 'N Go" flat folding seats are standard.
At the second trim tier, LX, Chrysler adds heated power mirrors to the list of standard features. The Base and LX are similar in price, while the Touring model jumps above the LX by nearly $7000.
This third level trim includes dual power-sliding doors, a six speaker audio system, three-zone climate control, a power seat for the driver, and a power liftgate. Jump by about $7000 again for the Limited trim, which includes tri-zone automatic climate control, a memory seat function for the driver, a premium Infinity sound system with an in-dash CD changer, a navigation system and chrome wheels.
The Base and LX models house a 3.3 liter V-6, which provides 170 horsepower. The Touring and Limited models get a larger 3.8 liter V-6, making 200 horsepower. Both engines are mated to a four speed automatic transmission.

I like that it is very roomy with lots of storage. Great family car! Only dislike is gas milage in the city but with a van you don't get that good of gas milage anyway. But gets good mpg on the highway.Mar 08, 2015

The van does not have a lot of power, but it made up for it with gas mileage. It is Very roomy and great for a young family. The extra storage under the middle row was very convenient and the stow and go made carrying groceries and anything else very practical.May 04, 2014

nice van for family
the tow&hide seats was very convenient that give this van a tone of space that could convert a 7 passengers to a extra large cargo van in a very short time
kids loved it as much as we did
fully equipped with DVD package
it was made for long tripSep 07, 2012

We have had this for over a year drives nice handles good lots of room when I need to haul something the stow and go seats are great has been very depenable not many service issues other than an accident hard to find used body parts must mean they are still on the road.
Had a trailer hitch added for about $300. pulls a trailer very nice some times don't even know its back there. Aug 15, 2012

I dislike the fuel economy- my only complaint. Otherwise, this is an ideal vehicle for any Mother with one or more children. It made life so much simpler to have this vehicle: plenty of room for the stroller, the kids, the groceries, the dog...and everything else....smooth ride, excellent sound system, overall excellent vehicle!May 10, 2012

The performance, comfort, versatile seating and quiet ride are the best features of this car. I love the Stow n Go seats. In less than a minute, I can go from a 7 passenger van to a cargo van that carries a full sheet of plywood (4x8) with the doors closed.Jan 18, 2012

This is my 3rd Chrysler van! I love them! I have no negative thoughts for this vehicle. The gas mileage was even good, it handles well. Was never in the shop for anything other than routine maintenance except for the engine replacement. Never any problems!

performance quite calm, buildquiality ok, appearance - family, cost of ownership - bad, fueleconomy - bad, green values - no, roomy - yes, fun factor - surprisingly ok, very good on the highway, good for traveling, nice people transport, good for transporting what ever stuff. For example an entire IKEA kitchen.Aug 27, 2009

Got the big V-6, has no problem merging with traffic. The ride is smoother than the Alero we had before...so smooth. The stow and go seating is awesome, great for a night at the drive in. Only bad part is no hitch reciver, due to rerouting the exhaust because of the stow and go seats.Aug 04, 2009

I love how comfy it is but it looks like a mom car. The ride to good and there is alot of room. Also love the stow and go. Like the fact that the seat go down it was hard to remove the seats in the older vans. The airconditioning is great gets the van cold very fast.Sep 13, 2008

I like the Sto & Go seating and the DVD player but the Nav system sucks. Everything breaks. Poorly built interior. It has bad fuel efficiency. I have all ready had to turn it in for major repairs to the suspention and now there is another recall on it. Man this sucksJul 31, 2008

Never thought I would love a mini-van. Traded my sports car for this amazing people hauler. The gas mileage is good, the handling is great, and the cofortable ride is exceptional. Everything is top notch in the limited, you are cheating yourself if you go with a lesser model.Apr 14, 2008

Yes, practically everyone who owns a van has one of these. There's good reason. We live over 200 miles away from our families and repeated trips back and forth have accumulated over 36K miles in less than 2 years. Our first trip to the shop was about 1K miles ago.
It rides about as smooth as any other van and there is enough room for 2 adults, 3 boys and the kitchen sink. The stow-n-go is a blessing when more room is needed (think 200 mile trip from Christmas and multiple local soccer games).
The entertainment system is a God-send on the road trips as well.
We purchased the T&C new in 2006 during a hefty promotional time period so it was extremely affordable.
I will say, we are not a "van" family but it fits our lifestyle right now, and even more so when our baby arrived in 2006. So, due to our expanding family, we traded a Chevy Equinox for the T&C and to be honest, this is the longest we have ever had a vehicle.
It works that well for us. The only thing I would change, as I've told my husband, is they need to come out with a Supercharged T&C. I'd never get rid of it.

We have the side curtain air bags and tow package.
It got better mileage than my moms van (different year model but essentially the same with out tow package) when we drove to Canada.

repairing 6-disc CD/DVD player
I replaced my battery on my 2006 T&C, and my 6-disk CD player now acts like it has a disc stuck in it. It makes a whirring noise, then the lights start blinking? There was noting wrong with it before the battery change.

Van has No lights no crank?
2006 town and country was driving perfectly fine. Parked the vehicle the next day car would not start tried to jump it nothing. Next went to the shop to get a multimeter tested battery 12.58 volts, to alternator 9, to engine block 12.58. No interior lights, no headlights, no dashboard lights, no crank. Next day the vehicle turned on no problem. Drove it for 35 miles over the next 2 days and parked it went to start it then it went dead again. Tested fuses they are all good. Only symptoms prior I would always have to crank 2 times for the vehicle to start and sometimes when I would turn the key there would be a delayed start.

2006 Town and Country will not start with a fully charged battery
Hello everyone, I tried all of your suggestions, my problem was first it would start then turn off. Never could get in gear to run. I took the battery to get checked out and it was functioning 100%. The dash light, radio all that comes on and stays on. I get no click at all, maybe a slight clunk when I turn the key but it's like no power getting to the vehicle I think it may be starter, but with no click what would it be? Also, I notice when I put the battery back in the car there was little to no spark on the jumper cables.
