2016 Chrysler Town & Country fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2016 Chrysler Town & Country at 20 MPG combined. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.

City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).

Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

2016 Chrysler Town & Country wheels & tires

Great Lakes owner notes

What counts on a 2016 Chrysler Town & Country from Michigan to Tennessee

From the Snowbelt east of Cleveland to the ridges of West Virginia and east Tennessee, this part of the country throws salt, snow and grade at every vehicle. Here is how the 2016 Chrysler Town & Country specifications line up against all three.

Wheels, tires and freeze-thaw roads

Smallest factory tire: P225/65R17. Freeze-thaw cycles break up asphalt across the Great Lakes states, and one jolt can knock the alignment out without leaving a mark on the wheel. If the steering wheel sits off-center or the Town & Country wanders after a pothole, get the alignment checked before the tire edges wear. A winter set on 17-inch wheels also keeps salt off the originals.

The oil grade on a January morning

The 2016 Chrysler Town & Country fluids table lists SAE 5W-20, with 6 qt per change. Lake-effect winters are full of short, cold trips: to work, to school, to the store and home again before the engine reaches temperature. That pattern is tough on oil, so let the oil-change indicator set the interval and never stretch it.

Cranking power for a lake-effect morning

Rated battery output: 730 cold-cranking amps, measured at 0°F. A single-digit night in Traverse City or Fort Wayne cuts what the battery can deliver just as the stiff engine asks more of the starter. Past three winters, an October load test tells you more than the date sticker. Charging comes from a 160-amp alternator.

Drive systems for lake-effect snow

This model year was built with front-wheel drive only. On an icy grade, smooth throttle beats wheelspin, and winter tires do more for a front-wheel drive vehicle than any other change. When lake-effect snow turns an interstate white in minutes, leave several car lengths more than usual and let the vehicles with driven wheels at both ends sort themselves out ahead of you.

When the schedule shortens oil changes

Under hard use this Town & Country can call for an oil change from 3,500 miles. Short trips in deep cold, crawling snowbelt traffic and long idles on a frozen morning all fall under that heading in the Great Lakes states. The schedule never lets an interval run past 10,000 miles.

Filters for dust and pollen

The schedule asks for more frequent air-filter attention in dusty conditions, beyond the normal replacement every 30,000 miles. Gravel roads up Appalachian hollows and coal-haul routes in West Virginia and eastern Kentucky qualify, so inspect the filter at each oil change if they are part of your week.

Fuel grade and winter reserve

Fuel requirement: 87 octane. In winter, keeping the tank above half is a sensible habit across the Great Lakes states, because lake-effect pileups and mountain snow on I-64 or I-77 can leave traffic stopped for hours, and fuel is your heat.

Specifications are the manufacturer's; the weather and road context is ours. When a note here and the 2016 owner's manual disagree, follow the manual.
