Dodge Grand Caravan vs. Chevrolet Express 3500 Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Dodge is substantially cheaper to get to the dealership than the Chevrolet. When it comes to MSRP, the Dodge Grand Caravan costs substantially less than the Chevrolet.

Utility
Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the Chevrolet Express 3500 over the Dodge Grand Caravan. The Chevrolet Express 3500 outpulls the Dodge Grand Caravan by a sizeable margin.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Chevrolet Express 3500 offers a bit more head room than the Grand Caravan, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Dodge Grand Caravan make it substantially more spacious for your passengers than the Chevrolet Express 3500.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet is tremendously heavier than the Dodge Grand Caravan. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Express 3500 than the Grand Caravan because of its larger tank. The Dodge Grand Caravan and the Chevrolet Express 3500 compete for the same parking spaces. The Dodge Grand Caravan's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a nimbler feel in daily traffic than the Chevrolet Express 3500.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, the Chevrolet Express 3500 is a genuine speedster.

Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the Dodge Grand Caravan is most certainly more maneuverable than the Chevrolet Express 3500, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the flip side, keep in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Dodge Grand Caravan's engine is tremendously smaller than the Chevrolet's. Bear in mind that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; however, smaller engines typically get better gas mileage. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the Chevrolet Express 3500 is tremendously more powerful than the Dodge Grand Caravan. Torque equals pickup, and the Chevrolet Express 3500 will have picked up and gone by the time the Dodge Grand Caravan finally gets moving.

Warranty
The Chevrolet Express 3500 and the Dodge Grand Caravan have the same basic warranty.
