I did check out consumer reports and they really didn't cover the AWD
caravan other than to say it was available. Anyone out there that
works at a Dodge dealer that could input here??

Well, i always liked the idea of an AWD minivan, especially considering
all
the ski trips i have taken with my family in my father's 2wd Caravan(s)
over
the years, the extra traction would have been nice on those snowy roads
with
5 people and a massive load of clothes and gear...
But, i would be concerned about reliability issues, i don't know whether
the
AWD system is durable over time or not, all those extra moving parts
break
at some point, the question is when, how often, and how expensive are
they
to fix/replace?

Check out consumer reports and those types of mags to find the answers.
