Used 2001 Chrysler Town & Country for Sale Nationwide
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.
3.8 Overall rating
(24 reviews)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.
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.
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.
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.
