Going to look at a 15 Grand Caravan SXT with 73k miles. Anything in particular to look for on these? Thanks!

When that body style first came out there were a couple of problems, most likely fixed by 2015:

1. Rear bumper covers warped & interfered with opening the liftgate.
2. Snapping/creaking sounds from rear area, which was insufficient spot welds between quarters, rockers and inner structure.

We have a 15 Town & Country about 95k on it now and no problems at all. Before had an 09 Caravan that had an ac hose fitting leak and the Y fitting for rear heat antifreeze cracked and leaked was told a common problem and near the end of trading it in at 135k the climate blend doors starting messing up. So far the 2015 had been a better vehicle and the Pentastar V6 rocks

Make sure it has the big HD brakes. Early gen 5 vans ones has smaller brakes which were under-size and would warp and pulsate. I think by '15 almost all of them got the bigger brakes which work great.

I drove a 2015 Pentastar V6 Caravan rental several days in Summer heat in S Florida and felt that the AC did not work as well as either the 2005 and 2001 models did. The Pentastar gave noticeably better acceleration. The more upright drivers seat was not to my liking.
