The fully redesigned 2008 Dodge Caravan has more standard equipment including many useful features that you simply can't get on other minivans. A new V6 and six-speed transmission powertrain debut on the new van, with additional room inside with more storage space behind the third row of seats. That's due, in part, to a van that's 2.5 inches longer and has a 1.9-inch-longer wheelbase. Expect a quieter ride as well -- Dodge's engineers gave the new van thicker glass, deeper carpet padding, additional seals and isolated front suspension components.
