I have a 2013 Journey with the 3.6ltr six speed and tow a small trailer with ease
I recently drove to Myrtle beach and averaged 31.8 mpg and sometimes getting over 32 and it only had 1500 miles on it
This vehicle replaced the 2009 Journey I had with the 3.5ltr and the 3.6 is far better I never got over 26mpg ever
Also they upgraded the seats and its a far better ride now.

Is that an AWD model or 2WD?

Well, we decided to go with the Grand Caravan. So far we are very happy with it. Towed with a couple of times already. It handles well with a 5x10 trailer.

Congrats! I am driving a 2001 Town & Country as my run around/go to work vehicle with 178,000 miles with no problems. Normally I am a Ford only man but I do like the Dodge/Chrysler vans. This is my third one after selling the other 2 for different reasons than reliability.

Ours is a 2002 with ~106k miles. Seems to want to go in every other month for something (usually a split vacuum line). This month it was a bad transmission computer. $200 later it will shift out of 1st, the speedo works and the gear indicator (to tell if its in P, R, N, D, etc) also works again... Its going away before winter if I can swing it...
