... the ScatPack Charger is soitenly fun to drive but DAMN ... I sure miss the availability of being able to haul stuff ! LIKE ... some 4x8 sheets of OSB and 10 foot 2x6s for building a loft at the shop ! Anyone know how to make this Grand Caravan with a sunroof and DVD system perform like the Charger ? Aka ... a 450 horsepower 3.8 V6 ??

I have an 05 T+C and have considered letting it go to find a newer nicer pickup .
Mine has the stow and go seats, power sunroof, DVD player , power heated seats ( both sides ) power doors and liftgate. So it can haul most anything / everything I typically need to haul. AND it gets 20-21 mpg
But I really miss my old truck, Ive had a truck for my daily driver for the better part of the last 25 years I have pretty much that same combo with an 2005 extended 3.3L TC van with StowNgo seats & powered doors, and a 1995 2wd CCAb Magnum 5.9V8 46RH pickup. I wish my pickup had a 5.2 V8 and manual trans with 2.96 ratio electrically locking diff and an 8 foot bed. I wish the Chrysler paint held up better and I question whether Clearcoat is worth the trouble. Each year for the last 5 years or so I have driven the new minivans and Rams, and each test drive resulted in the same thought: this new fangled electronics is gonna break in a few years and it would be MY headache to get it repaired.

But I really miss my old truck, Ive had a truck for my daily driver for the better part of the last 25 years I still have my 05 GC ... it’s jsta sitting at my shop. Waiting on my decision on brakes and some preventative maintenance. I had seriously looked at a 13 TC that was LOADED... even had power stow and go but I missed the sale. I’m jsta gonna fix mine with nearly 200k on the clock
