Since the 3rd and 4th generations have a thread about mileage, and I just hit a milestone on my 2009, I decided to start this thread for 5th generation owners.

I hope the "High Milers Club" still exist, I want to get the 200,000 mile license plate frame.

Cool Jesse,
We currently have 174k miles.
Its at the dealer now having 8 (!) recalls. Glad about getting new keys as ours were worn
Only things done the last 15k miles:
Oil change
Spark plugs change (previous owner had put normal crappy ones in, so now installed ngk iridiums and runs way better).
Small paint bubble (guessing rust) to be treated soon
Runs (and tows) as a champ on lpg

As for conversion:
Km-->miles: Km / 1.6 =miles

Miles-->km: Miles x 1.6 = km

2013 CV with 297,238 miles and just went in for it's 5 year anniversary life time power train inspection. 27 mpg, original plugs and wires, original fuel pump. 2 blower motors, 1 front hub assembly, just installed the 3rd set of tires. The dealer inspection took 1.5 hours, no problems found and the dealer had not seen a 13 with that many miles.
We also have a 1991 w/3.3 that we pulled out of dads drive way salvage yard lol. Had 135,000 miles that now has 359,793, original engine, 1 transmission, original fuel pump, beefed up rear suspension, ice cold air and a great heater.

Was wondering about the longevity expectations of my 2013 GC, just rolled over 30,000, looks like age will get it before mileage.

I read 2008 vans were one of the worst model years and my T&C 4.0 is almost at 200,000kms so I need it to last.
Glad to know some of you that have a 2008 with high mileage.

Our 2008 Grand Caravan has about 216,300 miles (347,618 kms) or so and still going strong.

We recently bought a 2016 SXT with lots of options and just a few miles over 24,000. I hope it lasts as long.

We were offered $1,000 trade-in for the 2008. I know it has lots of miles and probably isn't worth much more than that, but it's worth more to us for hauling and reducing wear and tear on the new one. For long trips with the wife and daughters, granddaughters, and sons-in-law, we'll use the newer van.

Unfortunately opinion about Chrysler is not kind even if the person never actually owned their product. Same goes for blindly praising Toyota and Honda.

My 2015 GC is at about 25k miles now and it is my first Chrysler product. All things considered I don't see where the negativity comes from, other than just blindly repeating commonly accepted view. I can't say anything about long term reliability, but the overall ownership experience is very positive so far.

Happy Owner

Bought my 2015 with 52k on it, has 64k. First Chrysler, very happy with it. Last night took it for 100 mile ride from Austin to San Antonio in the rain, and a great ride. Smooth, comfortable, everything works as it should. Couple of weeks ago filed it with junk for trip to the landfill, very versatile; tow the boat with it. On trip to OK, got over 30 mpg. Love the fact its made in Canada.

I guess my 2009 is low miles. Just clocked 91,500 miles. Biggest repair so far is a replacement for the instrument cluster which I did myself. Bought it new and has the lifetime powertrain warranty. Planning on keeping if for awhile.

I just had this glorious visual of pulling into the service department in a 50 year old van & describing the problem as: "It seems to be a little underpowered lately..."

Had to change a thermostat and starter recently...but hey....it's a 2012 with 304,000 miles on it. Previous owner replaced the transmission at 280k...it doesn't really use much in the way of oil....I don't see any reason why I can't get plenty more miles on it.

Picked up an 09 Routan with 89k miles on the clock, was shocked to find a Routan period doubly so with under 100k miles

Bought a 2017 SXT in Sept 2017 and it just hit 25,000 kms (15,500 miles). Been running great since day 1. Although, I did have to apply lots of DIY upgrades to make it better....

While I was having the solenoid pack replaced, mine passed the 10 year inspection without any issues. I had a 2017 Limited as a loaner for a week and loved it, but we are keeping the 2008 as long as we can, so I'm putting in a little extra tlc:

1. I have a new set of headlights I'm installing tomorrow.
2. Going to change the RES out for headrest mounted displays and possibly a new head unit (if not, I think I'll need a lockpick).
3. Paint the front bumper (probably while its off for the headlights).
4. Plugs and wires
5. New brake pads (yeah, its that time of the year, lol)
