It's Dodge's party, and we'll buy if we want to. You would buy too if it happened to you. On its 20th anniversary, what better way for the 2004 Grand Caravan to celebrate its entry into adulthood than by shuffling its trims and introducing a special anniversary model?
In 2004, gone is the eL, Sport, and ES. The SE remains the base model, with its 3.3-liter, 180-hp V6 engine. The SXT is the top-of-the-line model, with the eX being the value-priced edition of the SXT. Both come with the 3.8-liter, 215-hp V6. Only the SXT is available in AWD with standard ABS. All trims feature seating for seven, with dual front airbags and dual sliding doors.
For 2004, Dodge celebrates with a special SXT anniversary edition of the Grand Caravan, that offers chrome alloy wheels, leather seats, a DVD system, and anniversary badging, along with all the other features that the eX and SXT offer. In these two trims, third-row 50/50 split sitting and removeable center console can configure your cargo and passenger space, and options include power sunroof and power liftgate.
There is little that drivers find wrong with their 2004 Grand Caravan. Spacious interior, power liftgate and sliding doors, the luxury and driveability of a sedan, and a powerful engine that is quiet and gets decent fuel economy are reasons to celebrate. A big complaint is that the third row of seats does not fold flat, in anticipation of the introduction of Stow-N-Go seating for 2005.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan appreciate its spacious interior and versatility, especially for families and storage needs. Many highlighted the power of the 3.8L engine, good handling, and excellent cargo capacity, making it a reliable choice for trips and daily use. However, some drivers noted concerns with fuel economy and the need for maintenance, particularly with brake pads."
I love having a van, there is so much room for everyone, I keep my nieces and nephews and with my 2 kids they all fit in their own seat! I love that the second row has a bench seat with built in safety restraints for the kids. I love the tinted windows and roof rack for vacations.
July 17, 2008We have owned 5 of the Chrysler minivans and have been very pleased with all of them. We even towed one on a dolly behind our motorhome for several years. It has all the features we need, lots of cargo space, excellent handling and good resale value.
September 16, 2013I love the size of this mini van, I use it to buy building material. I can fit a sheet of plywood of 4x8 and close the trunk. I take it for camping trip and pack it with all the gear and even take firewood and still can fit more. Very handy but not very economic.

August 3, 20083.8L engine is much more powerful and more reliable then the 3.3L. it has all the options except leather, but power sliding doors, sunroof, cd changer, tow package, everything works fine and easy to maintain. i bought it used and would absolutely get another one.
March 3, 2015Great family vehicle , known for having to replace break pads . Great performance for a family van Great pickup on the highway . decent on gas depending on how lead is the foot . It is fun to drive and fully loaded especially with dvd player for the kids on long trips .
