The 2003 Dodge Caravan and Town & Country minivans, particularly those equipped with a diesel engine, represent a unique chapter in Chrysler's minivan history. Unlike their predominantly gasoline-powered counterparts, these models offered a frugal and robust powertrain alternative, appealing to consumers seeking improved fuel efficiency and long-term reliability. The 2.8-liter CRD (Common Rail Diesel) engine, sourced from Mercedes-Benz, delivered impressive torque for hauling passengers and cargo, while its fuel economy outshone the gasoline-fueled V6 options. The combination of a reliable diesel engine and the minivan's spacious cabin and practical features made these vehicles attractive to a range of users, from families to businesses. Beyond the diesel engine, the 2003 Dodge Caravan and Town & Country models offered a comprehensive array of standard features, including seating for seven passengers, ample cargo space, numerous storage compartments, and a user-friendly dashboard layout. Optional features included power sliding doors, power windows, a sunroof, cruise control, and a premium sound system. While renowned for their practicality and fuel efficiency, the diesel-equipped Caravan and Town & Country models also encountered certain challenges. Some owners reported issues related to the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and the complex fuel injection system, leading to higher maintenance costs compared to their gasoline-powered counterparts. Nevertheless, for those seeking a long-lasting and fuel-efficient minivan, the 2003 Dodge Caravan and Town & Country with the CRD diesel engine presented a compelling alternative, showcasing Chrysler's commitment to innovation and diversification in the minivan segment.
