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.

Salt, snow and hills: the data
Reading the 2019 Grand Caravan data for Great Lakes roads
Lake-effect squalls, roads soaked in brine, potholes that open with every thaw and long Appalachian grades: driving in the Great Lakes states asks a lot of tires, batteries and undersides. These notes take the 2019 Grand Caravan figures above and flag the ones that carry the most weight in Ohio.
Pothole season and the factory tire sizes
Squalls off Lake Michigan and Lake Erie can drop snow faster than plows keep up, and then tire compound matters more than anything else on the vehicle. Starting from the factory 225/65R17 size, a true winter tire on 17-inch wheels grips packed snow far better than an all-season and leaves sidewall for the potholes the next thaw brings.
The oil grade on a January morning
The 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan fluids table lists SAE 5W-20, with 6 quarts 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.
Starting in single digits
Battery care in this schedule: inspect it and clean and tighten the terminals as required at each oil change, and the spec sheet rates it at 730 cold-cranking amps. A battery that bakes through a Nashville or Memphis summer ages faster, then gets found out by the first hard freeze. Have it load-tested in fall rather than waiting for a slow crank.
Which wheels do the pulling
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.
Cold mornings and the tire-pressure light
Air pressure falls about 1 psi with each 10°F drop, so the swing from a gray, mild lake-effect afternoon to a clear, frigid morning can trip the warning light overnight. Set pressures cold, to the door-jamb placard. An underinflated tire is also easier to damage in a pothole, because the rim sits closer to the edge it hits.
Coolant through freeze and climb
Fluids table: OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula), 13.4 quarts. Scheduled replacement comes at 10 years or 150,000 miles. Stick to that chemistry, since mixing coolant types can shorten their protective life. On a used Grand Caravan from Ohio, ask whether the coolant was changed on time, and check the level in the overflow tank with the engine cold before you drive it.
Ground clearance, snowbelt to hills
The spec sheet puts ground clearance at 5.8 inches. Height matters for salt too: a low underbody pushes through slush and packs it around lines and heat shields, where it sits for days. After a slushy week in Dayton, a run through an underbody wash clears out what the clearance couldn't avoid.
Each spec in these notes is pulled from the tables above. The commentary on salt, snow, potholes and grades is general guidance for the Great Lakes states; the owner's manual remains the authority.
