How Does the Chrysler Town & Country Compare to the Competition?
The Chrysler Town & Country focuses heavily on luxury compared to other minivans on the market. Ultimately, if you choose the Town & Country, you’re trading some reliability for a more upscale interior.
The Toyota Sienna is another minivan which costs about $4,000 more. Safety technology is better in the Toyota Sienna, while the Chrysler Town & Country has a much more luxurious interior. We recommend the Toyota Sienna for most people since they have better long-term reliability ratings.
The Ford Explorer is a three-row SUV, which costs about $4,500 more. Technology and off-road performance are both better in the Ford Explorer, but the Chrysler Town & Country has more passenger room. We recommend the Ford Explorer unless you need the extra passenger room found in the minivan.
