What is the 0-60 time of a Town & Country?
Empirical evidence suggests that under normal conditions the 0-60 time of a Town & Country is somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 seconds with driver and all seats depending on outside air temperature and fuel load. A full tank of gas can add over 100 pounds and skew the results. Note: this is quicker than a lot of cars! Chrysler could have probably shaved some time off the 0-60 acceleration by modifying the gearing slightly so the van would reach 60 mph in 2nd gear. This makes reaching 60 mph in 10 seconds even more impressive, considering that it includes a shift into 3rd gear. Also note that the 0-60 time is only one measure of acceleration. Other important factors to consider are the ability to climb hills without having to downshift, which the Town & Country does very well due to abundant low-end torque, and the ability to do a full-throttle downshift and pass on the highway.
