#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?
#15 of 1422 All Show and No Substance by plymouthhater Dec 13, 2003 (7:45 pm)
Remember the most critical factor, the vehicle is still a Chrysler product. Chrysler products tend to be all show and no substance, i.e. with every purchase you get free membership in the frequent flyer club at the service dept. of your local dealership.   The service manager at my local Chrysler dealership (where I purchased my first and last Chrysler vehicle), offered a sound piece of advice: "Never purchase the first year of a new Chrysler model, too many problems, and Chrysler is using you as the guinea pig to help them iron out the bugs.   BTW there's a 2004 Sienna sitting in my garage!
#16 of 1422 Welcome by samnoe Dec 15, 2003 (10:27 am)
One feature always been missing from Chrysler minivans and very important to me is the rear parking aid sensor system. It's really welcome that they now added this feature to the otherwise very good equipped vehicle.
#17 of 1422 Interior Height by donleung Dec 15, 2003 (11:16 am)
Can anyone tell me how much interior height is lost due to having these hidden seats?   The outside views don't make it seem that the minivan is any taller. Thus any increase in floor pan thickness (due to being able to hide the second row seating) must come out of the interior floor - ceiling height or am I wrong here?   To me it seems that the floor pan area must be significantly "thicker" (deeper) with the hidden seat option.   Thanks Don Replies to this message: aapye (Mar 08, 2006 2:28 pm)

I think that these vans are going to be better than the upcoming GM vans, no doubt.
