Do all Dodge Grand Caravans have stow and go seats?
Not every Dodge Grand Caravan came with Stow 'n Go seating. The feature appeared on many mid-2000s to 2016 Grand Caravans, but it was not universal across all years or trims, and availability varied by option packages. Since the Grand Caravan name was retired after the 2016 model year and replaced by other Chrysler minivans, the current lineup no longer uses the Dodge Grand Caravan branding.
What is Stow 'n Go seating?
Stow 'n Go seating is Chrysler’s branded system that allows certain second- and third-row seats to fold flat into floor wells, creating a continuous cargo floor. When deployed, it expands cargo space and can be reconfigured quickly for people-or-gear use. The exact configuration and which rows fold into the floor can vary by year and trim.
Availability by generation and trim
Below is a general overview of how the feature appeared across Grand Caravan years. Specific availability can vary by market and by individual vehicle option packages, so check the window sticker or build sheet for confirmation.
- Pre-2008 Grand Caravans: Stow 'n Go seats were not offered. The folding-floor, floor-stow feature was not part of these early configurations.
- 2008–2016 Grand Caravans: Stow 'n Go seating and storage became a common option and, in many trims, standard equipment. The system typically included second-row folding seats and a third-row fold-flat capability, enabling a flat cargo floor when stowed.
- Post-2016: The Grand Caravan nameplate was largely retired (in the U.S. and most markets) and replaced by other Chrysler minivans such as the Pacifica. The Stow 'n Go concept continued in Chrysler’s lineup under different models but not under the Dodge Grand Caravan name.
In short, most 2008–2016 Grand Caravans offered Stow 'n Go seating on at least some trims, but it was not universal on every single base model or year, and the model itself no longer exists in new-vehicle form.
How to identify Stow 'n Go in a Grand Caravan
Use these checks when evaluating a used Grand Caravan to confirm whether it has the Stow 'n Go system.
- Inspect the second-row seats: a 60/40 split for the bench or captain’s chairs that fold down and into the floor is a common indicator, especially if you can see fold-down mechanisms or floor stow compartments behind the front seats.
- Look for floor storage compartments: visible access doors or floor recesses where the seats would fold into are a telltale sign of Stow 'n Go capability.
- Check the vehicle’s badge or window sticker: some models explicitly list “Stow ’n Go Seating and Storage” in the features or option package.
- Consult the owner’s manual or build sheet (VIN-specific): the official documentation will confirm whether the vehicle has the Stow 'n Go option.
If you’re unsure after a quick inspection, ask the dealer for the factory option code or a printout of the vehicle’s options list to verify the presence of Stow 'n Go.
Summary
Do all Dodge Grand Caravans have Stow 'n Go seats? No. While the feature was commonly available on many 2008–2016 Grand Caravans, it was not universal across every year or trim. The Grand Caravan line itself ended after 2016, with the Stow 'n Go concept living on in Chrysler’s later minivans under different naming and branding. When buying used, always verify via the VIN, window sticker, or owner’s manual to confirm whether a specific vehicle includes Stow 'n Go seating and storage.
