The Town and Country was introduced in 1990, while its sister vehicles, the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager, had already been in production since the 1984 model year. Chrysler's success of the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager pursued the company to produce one of the first-ever luxury minivans, and General Motors was in hot pursuit by releasing the Oldsmobile Silhouette.

Overview

The Town and Country was introduced in 1990. Before the introduction of the 1990 Chrysler Town & Country, the name had been used on several Chrysler vehicles from 1941 to 1988. For other uses, see Chrysler (disambiguation). ...


Since the beginning of production in the fall of 1983, more than 11 million Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth minivans have been sold as of mid-2005.


Special anniversary editions of the Chrysler minivans have been issued to mark significant milestones; the first, in 1994, is notable for the "10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY EDITION". The twentieth anniversary was marked in 2004 with the Platinum Series Town & Country.

1996-1997 Chrysler Town & Country

The 1996 redesign used the Chrysler NS platform and included a driver's-side sliding door, a first. Third generation 3-door Town & Countrys were only offered for 1996, making them extremely rare. The Town & Country was on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1996 and 1997. In 1999, Chrysler built a concept minivan, the Pacifica, which used the Town & Country's body shell, and bore a striking resemblence to the Town & Country, as well as the LHS. Base models of the Town and Country were offered in most states with the 3.0 L Mitsubishi V6 engine, except in California and several northeastern states, where the Mitsubishi V6 didn't meet emissions standards. In those locales, the 3.3 L engine was offered instead from 1997 through 2000. In Canada, Town & Country came standard with the 3.8 L V6 and were offered only in extended wheelbase versions.

Year-to-year changes

  • 1997: Permanent all-wheel drive arrived as an option for 1997 on long-wheelbase minivans, and all-wheel drive models got 4-wheel disc brakes. Front wheel drive minivans gained a new traction control system, which worked at low speeds to prevent wheel slippage. The rear driver's side sliding door was standard on all 1997 Town & Countries. The lineup now included a short-wheelbase SX model and two long wheelbase models: the LX and LXi. The 3.8 L engine was standard on the LXi and optional on the SX and LX.
  • 1998: The front fascia was freshened. There was now an open grille and winged emblem. The new front fascia also featured new headlights that offered better illumination. Also, the 3.8 L V6 gained 14 hp for a total of 180 hp. Another model, the top-of-the-line Limited, was also available for 1998.
  • 1999: The middle bench seat was dropped for 1999, and a child seat was now available in one of the two reclining middle-row buckets. Other additions included a small cargo net between the front seats and 16 in chrome alloy wheels on the Limited.
  • 2000: The short wheelbase SX minivans were dropped for 2000, leaving only extended wheelbase models, along with new interior and exterior colors. All models seated seven and had sliding doors on both sides. A new Rear Seat Video entertainment system, with a VCR and 6.4 in display screen, was available as a dealer-installed option.

The 2001 minivans used the Chrysler RS platform. The Plymouth Voyager and Grand Voyager had been transferred to the Chrysler lineup in mid-2000, and for 2001, the Chrysler Voyager was available as a short-wheelbase model only. Since 2004, a short-wheelbase version of the Town & Country has been offered as compensation for the Voyager. Foldable Stow 'n Go second- and third-row seats, available only on long-wheelbase Town & Country models, were a first for 2005 along with a host of other updates such as new larger headlights.

The Town & Country was redesigned in 2007 for the 2008 model year by Ralph Gilles, who also worked on the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum. A six-speed automatic and a new 4.0 L V6 engine are standard. Chrysler has finalized a deal through which Volkswagen will receive a variant of the Chrysler RT platform van with its own styling and features, the DCX. It is planned for production at Windsor Assembly alongside the Town and Country. The new Town and Country made its debut at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show along with the Dodge Caravan.

Stow 'n' Go

The Stow 'n' Go feature (also available in the Dodge Grand Caravan) is an innovative seat-folding system to increase storage. The second row seats can be stored into the storage bins in the floor by folding and tumbling forward. The third row seats can be stored into the storage bins in the rear of the car by folding and tumbling backward. You can also tumble the third row seat backward for tailgating. It was first offered in 2005.


Swivel 'n' Go

The Swivel 'n' Go feature is only available on the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan. The pair of second row seats swivel around to face the third row. The car also comes with a table that can be placed between the second and third row seats.

Chrysler Town and Country - Wikicars (1726 words)
Chrysler's success of the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager pursued the company to produce one of the first-ever luxury minivans, and General Motors was in hot pursuit by releasing the Oldsmobile Silhouette.
The Town and Country was introduced in 1990 as a companion to the Plymouth Voyager and Dodge Caravan; it was essentially a more luxurious version of the Plymouth Grand Voyager.
The first Town and Country minivan used the Chrysler S platform, which was closely related to the K-cars (Plymouth Reliant and Dodge Aries).
