Used Dodge Grand Caravan: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Dodge Grand Caravan from 2011 to 2020: what each year typically sells for (about $6,000 to $13,000), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2011–2015, 2017–2020. Look harder at or skip 2016.

A cheap, practical minivan with seats that fold into the floor and a strong six-cylinder.
Years to target: 2011–2015, 2017–2020. Look harder at or skip: 2016. It has a below-average reliability record.

Worth knowing
- 2016: owner complaints spike (1,157, mostly the electrical system).
- The cabin feels cheap and the design is dated. Some early 3.6-liter V6s had cylinder head problems that cause ticking or misfires.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Target the SXT: it typically adds power sliding doors, a power driver seat and alloy wheels over the base SE and AVP, while keeping Stow 'n Go seating.

Prices are typical dealer and private asking prices from used listings, collected in September and October 2026, for an average-mileage car. Years with too few listings are estimated from nearby years. Crash ratings, recalls and owner complaint counts come from NHTSA public records.
