Chrysler Town & Country

Overview

The Chrysler Town & Country was the premium-tier version of Chrysler's legendary minivan lineup, sitting above the Dodge Grand Caravan and Plymouth Voyager as the most luxuriously appointed family hauler in the range. First introduced in 1990 on the AS platform, the Town & Country carried genuine leather seating, wood-grain interior trim, and premium entertainment options that made it the de facto standard for upscale American family motoring.

Over five generations spanning 1990 to 2016, the Town & Country grew in refinement, capability, and technology. The fifth generation (2008–2016) introduced the acclaimed Stow 'N Go second and third-row seating — a Chrysler-patented system where both rear seat rows fold completely flat into the floor, transforming the minivan into a near-flat load area without removing any seats. This feature remains unmatched by European or Japanese minivan rivals.

The Town & Country was discontinued in 2016 and replaced by the Chrysler Pacifica. In Azerbaijan, it represents the most practical and space-efficient family vehicle available at a very accessible used price. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 (2011–2016) is the most reliable and modern engine option.

Maintenance & Service in Azerbaijan

• Oil service every 8,000 km with 5W-20 or 0W-20 synthetic on the 3.6L Pentastar.

Used Town and Country Buying Checklist

• Test both power sliding doors through full operation — check for slow movement or grinding noise.
• Operate all Stow 'N Go seat mechanisms — they should fold and deploy smoothly without excessive force.
• Check for coolant system leaks around the thermostat housing and water pump on 3.6L engines.
• Inspect the sliding door tracks and rubber seals for wear or water ingress.
• Verify rear climate controls, entertainment screens, and all third-row heating functions.
