2020 Dodge Grand Caravan fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan 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).

Version	Engine	Transmission · drive	City	Hwy	Comb.	Fuel / yr	CO₂ g/mi
Grand Caravan	3.6L 6-cylinder	6-speed automatic · FWD	17MPG	25MPG	20MPG	$3,100	445

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.

2020 Dodge Grand Caravan wheels & tires

Factory tire and wheel sizes, spare and the pressure to run, from the spec sheet and owner's manual.

Fits	Tire	Wheel	Type
SE and SE PlusStandard	225/65R17Yokohama Avid S33	17 × 6.5 in, steel with painted bolt-on wheel cover	all-season
SXTStandard	225/65R17Yokohama Avid S33	17 × 6.5 in, cast aluminum	all-season

Cold tire pressure: Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard, which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
Spare: Compact temporary spare; Stowed under the vehicle between the front doors on a cable winch; the compact spare has no tire pressure sensor.
Lug nut torque: 100 ft-lb (135 N·m), M12 x 1.5 thread, 19 mm socket
Pressure monitor: A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.

Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2020 Dodge Grand Caravan Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2020 Dodge Grand Caravan maintenance schedule

The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.

Salt, snow and hills: the data

Reading the 2020 Grand Caravan data for Great Lakes roads

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 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan specifications line up against all three.

Wheels, tires and freeze-thaw roads

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.

Oil for a frozen-driveway start

Factory oil: SAE 5W-20, 6 qt per change with a filter. A Grand Rapids or Toledo January can leave an engine at single digits overnight, and at start-up the oil has to reach the top of the engine fast. The 5W part of the grade is its cold-flow rating, so keep it rather than going thicker for winter. Short trips that never fully warm the engine let moisture collect in the oil; a longer drive clears it.

Battery checks before the cold

The spec sheet lists 730 cold-cranking amps. A Grand Caravan left at a lake cottage or in a pole barn for weeks slowly drains its battery, and a cold snap then finds it with nothing to spare. A plug-in maintainer for stored vehicles is cheap insurance in the Great Lakes states.

Traction for snowbelt hills and hollows

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 qt. 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 West Virginia, ask whether the coolant was changed on time, and check the level in the overflow tank with the engine cold before you drive it.

Fuel reserve for storm closures

Fuel capacity: 20 gallons. Lake-effect whiteouts can shut stretches of I-94 in Michigan or I-90 through the Ohio Snowbelt for hours, so keep the tank from running low between November and March. If you do end up stranded, a running engine for heat needs a tailpipe clear of snow.

Specifications are the manufacturer's; the weather and road context is ours. When a note here and the 2020 owner's manual disagree, follow the manual.
