<div>There were a TON of the late model (2010/2011) Chrysler/Dodge minivans at the World Championships in Muncie. Easily carried the teams shipping boxes. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you go with the above minivan, be sure to specify Stow n' Go seating and a 3.8 or 4.0 engine. The middle and rear row seats fold flat into the floor, and it is the only minivan on the market that has this feature. Others may have seats that fold down, but all of the others do not fold into the floor. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you are looking to buy a used minivan, look at the 2005 to 2007 Chrysler/Dodge minivan, again with stow n' go seating. I have a 2005 with about 110,000 miles. Most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Try to find one with the 3.8 liter engine, particularly if you will be going through mountains. I have the 3.2, and it is ok, but more power would be nice especially on hot summer days. The 3.8 has better gearing also, and usually gets a little better mileage. It is available on the Touring and Limited Chrysler Town and Country's, and equivalent Dodge Grand Caravans.<br>
