Sitting on either 16- or 17-inch wheels, the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan features power sliding doors and Stow ‘n Go second-row seats, which fold into the floor to maximize cargo room. Also standard are 60/40-split third-row seats with one-touch operation and optional seat heaters for the front- and second-row seats. Swivel ‘n Go second-row chairs rotate 180 degrees to face the third row are also optional and include a removable table that installs between the two rows and in-floor covered storage bins.
