The Chrysler Town & Country debuted 25 years ago, and like the countless children it has helped tote, perhaps it has come of age, and is off to find itself on a backpack tour of Europe.
Still, we can't help feel a touch of empty-nest syndrome with this staple of the minivan segment leaving the Chrysler model lineup.
For those of you left wondering what 2017 family van to turn to, fear not.
Chrysler is reviving the Pacifica nameplate, and it makes its glorious return transformed from a crossover SUV to a fully re-imagined minivan.
The 2017 Chrysler Pacifica will be over 200 pounds lighter than the outgoing Town & Country, and our favorite Stow 'n Go feature is now activated with the touch of a button.
That isn't the only perk. Now standard, active noise cancellation uses the Pacifica's own audio system to negate road noise using opposite frequencies-- keeping the 70mph cabin noise down to 63 decibels. That's about the noise level of softly playing music, or a quiet conversation.
Excited yet? At Troncalli, we are itching to see the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica join our new inventory.
