#5 of 1422 These new look great and become lead again!!! by shued Dec 08, 2003 (12:16 pm)
I hope advices: 1): Second row seats are NOT too low. Best is to provide a way of height adjustment. Second row of Ford's Freestar is too low. 2): All maintenance items are easy to access. 3): Try to remove rebate, thus the MSRP should be closed enough to the competitors. 4): All short base use 3.3 engine, and All long base use 3.8 engine. Then it will perfect.

Looks promising but if this is in line with the current T& C, then this van will cost about $40k fully equipped and about $35k nicely equipped which still puts it out of price range for me.   I do like the bins under the 2nd row seats as wlel as the additional safety equipment. Of course they have to work the engine. I'm not refering to horsepower but fuel efficiency. The current 3.8L is a gas guzzler compared to the Toyota 3.3.   But I must say nice job Chrysler! When will it be available?
#7 of 1422 not bad by jchan2 Dec 08, 2003 (5:05 pm)
the feature content sounds pretty good. At least they put some new features without losing 6 inches of vertical storage (Uplander/Relay/Terraza/Montana SV6) or without making the sticker price too high (let's hope) (Freestar)
#8 of 1422 mildly loaded Freestar SES with manual doors by jchan2 Dec 08, 2003 (5:06 pm)
costs $29K MSRP. Although after the $1,000 rebates that I think are being slapped on brings it to $28K MSRP, with cloth seats and manual slidng doors.
#9 of 1422 rail system by jchan2 Dec 08, 2003 (5:07 pm)
I have to wonder- the GM vans are going to get this system, and DaimerChrysler is getting them too. Who had the idea first? Who copied who?
#10 of 1422 Products similar to the rail system are showing by logic1 Dec 08, 2003 (6:29 pm)
up in cubicle and computer desk systems. Most likely designers from both companies saw it in the office and asked: why not use in the van?
#11 of 1422 2005 feature questions by gregnw44 Dec 09, 2003 (9:49 am)
To theo2709...Thanks for all the info and pics on the '05 redesign (even more than is on the Dodge web site). Can you say how you are so close to the company... and therefore how you know all this great stuff? Anyway, this question is for you, or anyone else who has factual info on this...   I've been looking hard at ALL the vans out there right now, and at all their interesting features. Certain things are more important to me than others because of all the different ways that I use my vehicle.   Regarding the redesign of the interior of these vans, which looks like it outshines everything else out there. I have two specific questions that I wonder if anyone knows an accurate answer to. 1) Will AWD still be an option? 2) Where does the spare tire go? Or will it be a run-flat like an AWD Sienna? With 3 big wells extending down below the floorboards,I suspect that there won't be room for a drive line and rear differential for the optional AWD. I mean they still have to fit a fuel tank down there. And IF there is a spare tire in some other nook or cranny then how could there be any room for AWD. If anyone knows anything factual about this please let me know. BTW something I'm less concerned about but still it looks curious to me in the pics... Is that 3rd row seat bottom really at the severe angle that it looks like? They will definitely take heat for that. Thanks, Greg

Now don't quote me on this, but I am pretty sure that you can either get Stow 'n Go or AWD. The wells under the seat take up too much room. I have no idea about the spare tire, though.
#13 of 1422 AWD and spare tire??? by shued Dec 09, 2003 (2:58 pm)
If Toyota can have third row hiding and AWD together, then Chryseler can do them too. The spare tie can be at the passenger side of the first row. My question is, new 2005 T&C have independent rear suspension?

how come you're so close to DCX and GM?
