What's the mileage on your 5th generation?

2009 Grand Caravan with 121,000. Just got it in May from one owner at 119,000.
Had a broken spring in the steering assembly causing the stability system to come on.
What kind of replacement tires are you all using?

I 'm running Goodyear Assurance Max. suppose to get better gas mileage. Replaced the original tires at about 48,000 miles.

2014 GC 90,000km

Ladyfriend has had many vans, this is my first. We traded in her '09 with 88k on it for a '15 CTC, former rental with 54k on the clock. Was purchased as CPO. Now up to 61k with no issues. Van is used for day trips to local parks and longer trips. Just back from Key West, has been to Pikes Peak, CO, and South Padre Island, TX. It is an absolute pleasure to drive, very comfortable, outstanding milage, audio is great. Will be using it to tow new boat purchase to local lakes.
One funny hitch, the VERY DAY after bringing it home, message says it needs oil change. Dealer had said it was "fully serviced", ha ha ha......Took it to local dealer (not where purchased) and had them do fluids and filters. Sent $125 bill to purchasing dealer, who never responded. Gotta love those guys!

2012 with 200,000 KMs

That oil change message doesn't necessarily means an oil change was needed, they probably forgot to reset the clock.

Fluids and filters? What do you meant by that?

Seems like you were better off with the other dealer.

2010 GC - Just turned 118,000 this afternoon, on the way back from a church camping trip. (Bought it used October or November 2015 with a bit over 109,000. I don't drive it a lot per year, so the annual average is gradually falling.)

2014 Grand Caravan AVP , 60000 miles . Have had the hood replaced due to corrosion and paint bubbling and just had the oil filter cooler module replaced due to a crack leaking oil all over .

This reflects a rather high dollar to mile ratio, kinda buggers me. Nineteen months of ownership.

Nice , those are the kind of used cars you look for when buying.

Crazy. Everyone I know with this engine uses a quart every 1000 miles or so. Even low mileage engines like yours

Strange the 3.3 liter never used any oil and the 3.8 is basically a bored out 3.3 . Loved the 3.3 ,while it didn't make a lot of hp it was a very smooth engine and it even is better than the 3.6 in the NVH area .

Just turned 200000 on my 2008 T&C.

Over 30,000 km with two weeks to go before the two year anniversary.

98600 on the 2011 Town and Country

40400 (65200km) , 2014 t&c

We are almost at 100,000km (99,XXX)

2013 GC bought it new 150000 miles
2011 T&C bought used 146000 miles (bought it with 92000 18 months ago)

Picking up 2012 GC SE with about 76,000 miles.

30,000mi on 2011 Ltd, 2 recalls, 3 sets brake pads, rotors turned 3 times and upgraded to HD after being turned for second time, front Yokohamas replaced at 21,000mi, rears still ok, front engine mount replaced at 27,000mi, crankshaft damper started separating and broke fan belt, both replaced at 27,000mi. Right side sliding door lock actuator on order. Not impressed, even though it drives well, comfortable and quiet.

Just got back from a 5,000 mile road trip with my '14 T&C Limited and had the oil changed today. It now has 32,000 miles and so far the only repair is one HID bulb. Tires are original, but look like they will need replacing in 4-5,000 miles.

Still quiet, comfortable and averaged just over 27mpg on the trip, with a high of 31...lightly loaded and only one person on board.
