Default R/T Grand Caravan

I got rid of my 2012 Durango R/T and 2010 Challenger R/T last month when the gas prices hit $4.00 a gallon. I replaced them with a 2013 Grand Caravan R/T, a 2002 Honda Civic EX Coupe and a 2006 Honda ST1300. I already owned the 2000 Chevy Silverado. To help with the pain, I added some R/T emblems and the Challenger license plate to the Caravan. It already had the rear R/T emblem on it.

Congrats on your new ride. The gas here is 4.85 to 5.09. My wifes honda pilot gets less MPG than my 1996 avenger. The avenger gets 28 to 30 MPG and the pilot gets 22 to 25 MPG.

Congrats on your R/T. If you want door emblems, you can get them on ebay.

Congrats!!

My Grand Caravan gets an average of 22-23.5 mpg. On a 250 miles trip I got 27.5 mpg @ 65 mph. If you don't drive the van like you stole it, you should get a decent fuel efficiency.

Default Thanks for all the congrats

Enjoying the ride very much. I have ordered the RT badges from E-bay, hope will arrive soon. They seems to want a lot of money for the RT grill badge, any idea, where I can get it cheaper? Thinking of adding Red racing stripes like this Charger, what do you guys think?

Sorry, haven't figured out how to post pics yet.

Just be patient. Just do a search and list by lowest price and a good deal will show up soon. Mine is on with 3M tape and is on it's second vehicle with the same tape.

I like the stripe. It would be a one of a kind van for sure.

The R/T emblem that's red on your grille, what vehicle was it technically for? And how does it attach to the oem Caravan grille? Thanks
