The van's HD brakes are pretty good, in my opinion. Good bite, confident feel.

If they weren't it might provide a few parts for Caravan owners to use in their vehicles. I don't know suspension components beyond the nomenclature.

What I will say is that I routinely drive twisty smooth roads like the famous Kelly Drive in Philadelphia and my vehicle is more controlled than my previous ride (A Pilot with the best reviewed performance tires I could find) but not by much. I wouldn't be surprised if it is that torsion beam rear suspension and the non-performance tires. I believe the RT has the same LRR tires meant for fuel economy that the others have. My vehicle gets pretty bad gas mileage already.
