(UPDATED SEPT. 2023) Because more than four years have gone by since we bought it, it’s time to give you an update and review of our 2019 Chrysler Pacifica. After all, we’ve had plenty of time (and nearly 110,000 miles) to experience all it has to offer.<\/p>\n

Review of Chrysler Pacifica’s usefulness<\/h2>\n

We never saw ourselves as “minivan” people, but our Chrysler Pacifica has changed our minds because it’s just so useful<\/strong>. Seriously, we have been surprised at how many ways we’ve been able to use this vehicle.<\/p>\n

PIN FOR LATER<\/h2>\n

As empty nesters, we’ve used our minivan mostly for trips for just the two of us. We’ve taken it on day trips, shopping hauls, and multi-day exploration trips halfway across the country.<\/p>\n

In all situations, our van has been marvelous. It’s comfortable, easy to drive, and fuel efficient. We often get up to 30 mpg with a tailwind. Plus, even with Ann’s arthritic joints, she can get in and out of the vehicle easily. Most importantly, at least when we bought it four years ago, the price was right.<\/p>\n

Our Chrysler Pacifica is great for groups<\/h2>\n

But we’ve also used our Pacifica for road trips with other people. Indeed, there is plenty of room for luggage as well as up to seven passengers. Can can easily fit two large suitcases plus two carryons in the back.<\/p>\n

With entertainment systems set up for the second row of seats, our passengers can be entertained, as well. Ann and our adult daughter Meghan once watched a movie as we rolled down countless miles of highway.<\/p>\n

The vehicle also offers a standard 110v plug-in which has been useful for charging a computer on the road.\u00a0But as great as this vehicle is for travel, it offers so much more.<\/p>\n

The Pacifica’s cargo capability<\/h2>\n

The Chrysler Pacifica features Stow ‘n Go\u00ae seating, so in just a couple of minutes, we can store the second and third rows of seating under the floor of the van in order to carry lots (and lots) of cargo. With the seats tucked away, we’ve carried countless bins and boxes back and forth from our home in Nebraska to our Airbnb called Postcard Place<\/strong><\/a> in Pawhuska, Okla. We also have been helping Steve’s parents downsize and took van loads of items to local second-hand stores.<\/p>\n

And because the seats stow in the van, they go with us. This means that once we get to our destination we can convert the van from no seats to seating for seven in about two minutes. This is pretty handy when you’re excited to go out with friends after you’ve arrived at your destination.<\/p>\n
