V8 Sleeper Minivan (Automation + BeamNG.drive) 

Stickers here automotiveflux.com/ I'll be shipping the first batch tomorrow, lots of orders so far, thank you everyone!

Wow, I can't believe the level of detail Flux put into this one. Going as far as cutting holes into the body to represent the rust issues these vehicles had. Another top-quality build as always 🙌

Man just made a Grand Caravan SRT.

I can confirm that suspension is on point, and don't sleep on the Pentastar 285hp and the first three gears are really close together. Also they will use the entire speedo.

i wish this was how my grandma's 08 caravan was in real life, instead dodge had the brilliant idea to put the most lethargic 3.3 v6 instead.

There's one guy on youtube that has a 1000 hp Honda Odessey.

I had a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan, it was one of my favorite vehicles I've ever owned. The day before my bday someone hit me and totaled it. Only got to enjoy it for a week.

As an American, hearing about your truck is the most Canadian thing I've ever heard.

As a Grand Caravan owner, I highly approve lol

Hello! I own a 2012 version of this same grand caravan, and would like to say that I can give you the proper suspension setup to it! We have indeed the struts (if i remember correctly) but the rear has timbren suspension instead (which i find a weird choice to be honest) Hope this info helped with suspension choices!

car of the day gaming

I own irl a 2005 Ford Excursion, and totally understand about not ever wanting a minivan. I like the larger vehicles. I am currently building a Ford Excursion as detailed as possible in Automation, and it is starting to look pretty awesome

Y'know, it's funny. The Grand Caravan actually has 225/65R17 tires all around, so I'm not sure if you meant to do that, but you nailed it. The suspension, too. MacPherson Strut front, and I-beam/Torsion rear suspension. But the brakes are single piston, solid disc rear, and dual piston, vented disc front. The transmission is a 6 speed with manual mode. Hydraulic rack and pinion steering. Also, the Grand Caravan can be gotten as a 7 seater, not an 8 seater. Other than those nitpicky things, you got it pretty darn close. Well done. And yes, the Chrysler Town and Country did come with a 4.0L V6 early on. It was a Mitsubishi V6 if my memory serves.

Great sleeper! Totally agree on you never going for a minivan, had my misses agree on an 80 series as a solution 💪

I did my first driving exam in a 2016 Silverado with a lift and exhaust and no side steps, the examiner almost couldn’t get in. Second exam I did in a long wheel base sprinter van, the van was almost the size of a school bus

Always wanted to do this to my mom’s 14’ grand caravan. Would have called it the hell hound

All that torque to pull the kids to school

I love having a transverse HEMI, not an eyesore or a blight on God's creation at all.

That’s my family car, I approve your design 👍🏼📈

"who would buy a 475 hp minivan?" Me. Definitely me.

Those holes are just your standard dodge rust

Amazing 😮 love your content!!

i was wondering if you'd make an AWD rally car type of thing but underpowered as heck

Finally a serious build

MORE SLEEPER VANS !

You should make a supercar with a Formula 2 V6 engine

the Dodge caravan or Chrysler voyager are discontinued but the model is still manufactured under the Lancia brand and still named voyager and the bigger version grand voyager

fun dodge fact: the 1st gen viper’s rear rims were 13 inch wide by 17 inch tall, they’re almost sqare!

I have a Caravan. You have inspired me.

V8 Minivan 😮😮🤔🤔

If dodge decided to make the Durango a little more...nostalgic..

The 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan shared an engine with the Chrysler Pacifica. The 3.6-Liter Pentastar V6

Nice vid

Durango: Exist This guy: 😳

Have you ever daily driven a van I'm telling you it's the most convenient vehicle you can ever own

Finally have a R63 AMG competitor 😂

Just remember that Mercedes R63AMG existed. Just a minivan with 6.2 v8, with 550hp. Normal Mercedes stuff.

funny enough these Dodge Cravans are huge, they can honestly hold a lot. fidge, queen size bed etc

Christmas Gremlin? One of the reindeer on santas slay haha

Usually a grand caravan mainly the 2018 model would be a standard Gray.

There's a guy near me that has a big turbo srt4 swapped grand caravan. Its on RU-vid his channel is boost and bad habits

My favorite factory sleepers with V8s. The second generation SHO ford taurus, Oldsmobile Aurora, and Pontiac grand prix GXP

didnt realize i found this witthin 2 minutes of upload

Sees dodge caravan in thumbnail: clicks on video

You can add supercharger in BeamNG

I saw a Dodge was going to do something like this

I’m not sure why you have so many more engine options than me. I can’t even choose between single or twin turbo on any of the motors I’ve built. Single turbo is always my only option. And a bunch of other things you have that I don’t. Anybody have any ideas?

Can you make a car that handles great?

My friend's parents drive a Chrysler Town & Country, and they were talking briefly about how the Grand Caravan was ever so slightly larger. And I started thinking. Just now, as I'm typing this. What if extend?

Honestly I have a 2012 chrysler town and country and I will say that thing will move and rip the tires loose at 40mph and it's bone stock lol

How do you have all those extra options for engine customization?

The squares are a reflection glitch in BeamNG, not much to do about it for now...

i get the same square glitch thing, its a issue with AMD cards, i am switching to nVidia soon

Use nitromethane if you want to make a minidragstervan, today i tried it and yhe horsepower doubled without making any change to the engine, maybe you can do a 10k horsepower 🤣

It’s been 4 years and I still can’t find a real dodge grand caravan mod on BeamNG drive

No be station wagon chad

its gonna sound like cap but i still own a 2012 grand caravan with original motor and 300k miles, all dodge trans are shit but on god that pentastar v6 is bulletproof

Copped myself some stickers for my sticker collection on my shit box 👍

Why not make a super hugo like the supervan

2019 dodge grand caravan 3.6 v6 has 283 horsepower

hey, your version looks newer compared to mine, but mine doesn’t have an update, how to i get the harmonic dampeners, new turbo menu, and newer accessories??

I have a feeling. Don't tell me it was a red montana, because that's all that moms get as a color down here at least.

My grandmother has a '14 caravan. I did some research out of curiosity one day. Turns out it has the same V6 (pentastar V6) at the dodge challenger/charger. those can Have a 800Hp super charged V8 dropped in with minimal changes as far as I know. So therefore, this is entirely possible irl.

I saw a tik tok where a guy talked about this exact same concept

Isn't there an srt Grand Caravan?

vw touran(which is straight up badge engineered dodge grand caravan) used to have 4.0 v6

Do something thanksgiving related

Do you have link to the original grand caravan mod? I've been looking for these

it looks like it has buscemi eyes

I can’t say if there is background music or some sort of air conditioning in the background. If it’s music, PLEASE change it, it would make your vids so much better

Rarely see minivans over here, my family has bigger cars like the 7 series or A6 wagons for kids, not many minivans on the roads either

Idea: Make a boxing-day-style truck right after thanksgiving.

I have often thought of swapping my mom’s Grand Caravan 🧐🤔

Would you get a previa if you had to get a minivan?

Racing caravan…

Link?

if u need a replaceable van buy a Durango

How on earth can you possibly drive in 3rd person? 🙄 It's not a 1st person perspective and feel!!!

What game is it ?

newer gen soliad lansdale

The last van I was in was a 2010 town and country, it was a terrible pile of shit. Wouldn't recommend

Please don't become a "soccer mom" with a giant SUV like a highlander. It's honestly even worse than a minivan.

I hate mini vans there is one I would drive but I would rather buy a suburban or Tahoe yukon

Watch now chryslee is going to make a challenger redeye powered minivan

Chrysler and Dodge made the 4.0 models but they were usually for the more premium version For example Dodge it was the SXT plus that came with the 4.0 and for Chrysler it was the town and country limited that came with the 4.0 but usually the 4.0 was a crap motor in the vans well as well all the other cars it came in. If you wanted an absolutely bulletproof motor for the early generation dodge and Chrysler vans such as the 2001 to 2010, you would want to get the 3.3 of the 3.8 the 3.3 and 3.8 of the exact same motors but the 3.8 has a bigger water pump. And both of those engines will run until the vans Wheels fall off or it rusts to pieces. I had a 2006 caravan with a 3.3 and it ran up until almost 260,000 miles until the van caught fire once by converters were cut. I've always loved these vans
