Is the 2007 Chrysler Town and Country good for towing?

Yes, the 2007 Chrysler Town and country is good for towing. With the right equipment, the towing capacity of a minivan is up to 3600 lbs (1630 kg), while a pop-up camper weighs from 1500 to 3000 lbs. (680 to 1300 kg). 

In 2007 Chrysler presented a new (and unique) V6 engine, with competitive values: 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque with a modern and already standardized in the six-speed automatic transmission segment.

The dynamics of the vehicle have been significantly improved and the response in the test drive proves this, with precision and efficiency.

Town & Country takes the minivan into the luxury segment, leaving the Grand Caravan the price / convenience equation. Raising the category is the job of designers and marketers. The result is in sight. A new front grille conveys elegance and quality, and matches it with the new Chrysler 200.

The care and dedication to raising quality and renewing the bond with users is obvious… and to the touch. Virtually every point of contact between the vehicle and its user has been redesigned and improved. Materials, surfaces, functionality, spaces, finishes,

The interior is brand new. The materials and finishes are cared for, the surfaces and edges convey that higher quality to the eye and to the touch. The one-piece front panel eliminates the noises we were used to. Chrome accents highlight the shapes of the controls and they are made of metal, not painted plastic. 

The leather-wrapped steering wheel integrates audio, cruise speed and telephone controls into the centre bar. The cargo and storage spaces, from the centre console to the drawer below floor level, are yet another example of the smart and practical solutions that Chrysler engineers and designers continue to find.

The entertainment systems, with three screens in the highest-end model, even include satellite television with the most popular channels with children. Security elements place it among the leaders in the segment.

The model line started with the YTouring at $ 30,995, followed by the Touring L for 32,995 and the more equipped and luxurious Limited with a starting price of $ 39,995. 

With the 2997 Chrysler Town and Country on the road

Although it is not sporty, it is still true that any family can more than contain their needs in this Chrysler model, whether for comfort, safety or general performance.

In the case of the vehicle we drove, it was a top-of-the-range version with extra equipment and, actually, it had almost everything, from electrically adjustable leather seats, automatic opening and closing tailgate, DVD player, rearview camera, power button, ignition of the engine from the key, DVD in the second and third row of seats with headphones via Bluetooth, air vents in all rows of seats, among others.

Likewise, this version incorporates a reversing camera and a light warning when one lane moves and another vehicle approaches, a 3/40 GB hard drive and countless options. However, one of the strongest points of the model is the peace of mind that the buyer receives from the knowledge that it has a 5-year warranty, which speaks of the brand’s confidence in its flagship product.

In order to highlight some aspects of the Town & Country, we observe quite good material qualities and finishes, which can be weighed within the industry average and have nothing to envy to other similar models on the market.

The power of the vehicle is not only appropriate but it exceeds the expectations of what is necessary for a family car, although, it is recurrent that this type of models that are heavy have high power impellers. In this case, it is a 3.6-litre V six-cylinder engine that delivers 280/7 horsepower, and that responds to the pedal’s impulse, that yes with greater noise when it is demanded insistently.

The six-speed automatic transmission has a lot to do with the comfort that we announced, since the steps of the changes are agile and not very noticeable but, above all, they allow the van to always develop relaxed gears. This also contributes strongly to fuel economy, although this is clearly still the model’s weakest point.

Conclusions

We can confirm that the Chrysler Town & Country remains a great option for towing a camper, with unbeatable equipment, quality, modularity, interior and ride comfort and space, which allows it to remain an undisputed benchmark among minivans.

Time will surely tell that it will have to achieve a more modern exterior aesthetic and improve fuel consumption, which will allow it to remain a leading model.
