We had a similar problem with a Honda, but that doesn’t mean every Honda is bad. Every manufacturer, no matter how expensive of a brand, has a defect rate. What differentiates a good manufacturer from a bad one is how they deal with problems at a corporate level. To be honest, almost every manufacturer here lately seems to be lacking in this department.

Our handicap van is a Dodge Caravan. I hate it! Grant it, there aren’t many options when adding a wheel chair ramp. And I guess it could be because of the ramp, but I hate every aspect of it. The noise, the drive, the seats. The only good thing about it, is it has a ramp that allows us to take Macie places.

Go check out the new Ford Expedition or the Nissan Armada or the Chevy Suburban or the Toyota Sequoia.
Go buy any of these with middle row captains chairs and the problem is solved. Plus you're allowed to keep you man-card. Also forgot to mention that you will want the V8 model, except the Ford...that EcoBoost is a solid set up.
Man...that was too close...please...no more crazy talk.
Show me a vehicle that can seat 7, has 80+ cubic feet of cargo space with the 3rd row stowed, and can be found for less than $45k that is not a minivan.

[quote=HuntForHorns;13375466]We just bought a Dodge Grand Caravan GT. 2017 model from carmax. Don't be sucked in to the gotta have a Honda or Toyota. I just don't think they are worth the difference in
price. Check out TexasAutoDirect.com or Carmax.com. We got a loaded 2017 for about 20k
Pay now or pay later.

He looked a multiple brands. Based on what he gathered, Honda pretty much sets the bar on mini-vans and all other manufactures follow.
Everything I’ve read and heard says Chrysler T&C sets the bar and the rest follow. They’ve been doing it the longest.
