The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Town and Country is considerably cheaper to get to the dealership than the Savana 2500. The Town and Country isn't much less pricey than the GMC Savana 2500 as far as MSRP.

Utility
Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the GMC Savana 2500 over the Chrysler. The GMC Savana 2500 is a better choice than the Chrysler Town and Country as far as transporting cargo, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of luggage or large animals. The GMC outpulls the Chrysler Town and Country by a sizeable margin.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the GMC Savana 2500 offers a bit more head room than the Town and Country, there really isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Chrysler Town and Country make it substantially roomier for your passengers than the GMC Savana 2500.

Dimensions
The GMC Savana 2500 is significantly more bulky than the Town and Country. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the GMC than the Chrysler Town and Country because of its bigger tank.

Drivetrain
The GMC's engine is tremendously more massive than the Chrysler Town and Country's. Keep in mind that more sizeable engines may use more gas than smaller ones.
