For many of us, family road trips are a fond part of our upbringing. Millions of Americans traverse the country in road trips every year, engaging in a time honored tradition that can only exist in our nation. However, since the inception of the road trip, its method has changed. Rather than the station wagons that were the family car of the past, the modern family opts for a minivan. Chrysler is a brand that has led the development of the minivan, being the company that first produced one with the 1984 Plymouth Voyager (also released as the Dodge Caravan). Recognizing the importance of the minivan for road trippers, Chrysler has released their new Pacifica Road Tripper, a model based on their existing minivan, the Chrysler Pacifica. This new model has been designed and built with the needs of road trippers at the forefront.
This design guideline is immediately apparent when you look at the car. This is because the roof rack is designed to aid in the mounting of bike and boat carriers. This limits the amount of time on a trip that is wasted unpacking and getting ready. Additionally, with the Pacific Road Tripper's ability to tow 3600 pounds, customers can rest easy knowing that they can choose to bring a boat or caravan along with them.
Another important development for the Road Tripper is the improved entertainment system. Along with the standard Uconnect 5 infotainment system, Uconnect Theater functionality is available, which improves the passenger's experience when watching films onboard. The car's infotainment system can be interacted with through the central 10.1 in the central touchscreen. Passengers can use the onboard Amazon Fire system to set up a movie on the interior screen. With these benefits, it is easy to see why Chrysler has been at the forefront of the minivan space for more than 30 years. For families that value the time spent together on the road, the Chrysler Pacifica Road Tripper is a great pick.
