I drove a '84 for 14 years. Had to replace the tranny and rebuild the
engine. But that was right after I towed a 3000 lbs trailer over 1000 miles.
The Caravan I had was rated for a 1500 lbs trailer. It also had a manual
transmission and you don't find too many of those around.
We found it to be a comfortable and reliable (with the above exception)
family hauler, even if it was built the first year. We rented one of the new
body styles to cruise around WY and Yellowstone and enjoyed it.
