Used 2004 Chrysler Town & Country Touring
Buying Guide for the Chrysler Town & Country Touring:
Perched atop the expanded
2004 Chrysler Town & Country lineup of minivans are the
Touring and Limited models. They are the only two trims of
the lot to offer all-wheel drive capability, which they add
on to their fully stocked standard equipment package (other
models reviewed separately).
With the integration of the
now defunct Voyager into its stable of models, the Town &
Country offers a wealth of minivans, each with seven-passenger
capability. 2004 sees a number of new pieces of standard equipment,
as well as three new audio options.
The 2004 Town & Country
also provides a number of minivan first features. Some of
these include an industry first power up and down liftgate,
an industry first removable powered center console, an industry
first power sliding door obstacle detection system and more.
Under the Hood
Both the Touring model and
the top-line Limited model house a 3.8-liter V6 engine. It
generates 215 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 245 lb-ft of torque
at 4000 rpm. Handling the shift points is a 4-speed automatic
transmission.
Traction control and a tire-pressure
monitor are standard with both models, as are antilock 4-wheel
disc brakes, dual front airbags and automatic-off headlights.
The 2004 Town & Country can be had with front-wheel drive
or the aforementioned all-wheel drive setup.
The Limited model has standard
front side airbags, fog lights and load-leveling height control
suspension. This gives the minivan a smooth ride over many
different road conditions, regardless of the load.
Standard Features, Options
Packages and Style
The Touring model includes
such standard features as front and rear air conditioning
with tri-zone manual climate controls, power mirrors, windows
and door locks, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with radio
controls, a power liftgate and an AM/FM/cassette/CD player.
On top of that, the Limited
model throws in a number of decadent items for maximum comfort.
Tri-zone automatic climate controls, leather upholstery, heated
front seats, a navigation system, an Infinity AM/FM radio
with in-dash 6-disc CD/DVD changer and a trip computer start
things off nicely enough.
The options for 2004 are many,
coming in groups or as stand-alone items. Some of the stand-alones
include a rear-seat video entertainment system and a power
sunroof.
