Trying to order new headlights for my 2006 Town and Country on Amazon and they are asking for the wheelbase. I thought they were all the same. How do I find out my wheelbase?

 

I did a quick Google search and came up with:
The 2006 Chrysler Town & Country comes in four trim levels: base, LX, Touring, and Limited. Like all modern minivans, the Town & Country is built on a long wheelbase (119.3 inches, to be exact). The exception to this is the base model, a value-oriented variant built on a shorter wheelbase (113.3 inches).

 

Great. Thanks.
All I could find was exceptions to that rule, or so they said on another forum.

I will go with the 119". Your post made more sense to me because nobody else mentioned the base model.

 

LWB Vs SWB [the distance between the centre point of the front wheels and the centre point of the rear whee] both
have fans.

Most of the surviving UK is 2005 Voyager LWB on the forum, although lots of (London black cab) SWB survive to this day, they were 96 to 2000, there were 5 different generations of there vans.

 

In the UK at least, the difference is in the name. The Chrysler Voyager is the short wheelbase and the Chrysler Grand Voyager is the long wheelbase. On my travels around France and Spain I've noticed that the majority are short wheelbase for some reason. The post 2015 models are now badged as Lancia Voyagers.

 

Hiya Al.

Yeh 2011 Fiat. It's Penestar on 6 speed V6 petrol or the 2.8 CRD. Fiat shut both down a couple of years ago. There's only the Pacifica now. Nothing in EU.

My intuition on axle says short is whiz around town, long is motorway standard comfort. I'm still in my 05 on crud 4 speed, starts on 1/4 turn, and it sailed through MOT not even an advisory. We're both getting miles on together !

 

Hiya QinteQ,

I sold my 2007 privately a couple of weeks ago. Drove up to Kilmarnock to buy a 2.8 on a 2013 plate but the auto box started acting up on the way home. I had it diagnosed at a local specialist who came up with a list of faults and quoted £2,700 to fix it. Eventually the dealer in Kilmarnock came to collect the car and gave me a full refund. I've put down a deposit on another one which I went to see in Nottingham on Thursday and hope to pick that up middle of this coming week.

 

Almost always the [pci] BUS, yeh exceptions TTR but BUS first. You had a lucky escape with a full refund, congrats particularly came to collect the car and gave you a full refund.
I wish for you .. .. .. the Nottingham one is a gud'n my friend.

I quoted the Consumer Rights Act 2015 which says the dealer has to take the car back without any inconvenience to the buyer. I consider taking it all the way back to Kilmarnock, a round trip of 440 miles, a great inconvenience. I also discovered, after getting the car home, that it had previously been fitted with a tow bar. I wouldn't touch a car fitted with a tow bar with the proverbial barge pole.

 

Agree never in my life. I've installed one when I towed a caravan 60-70's and the kids were young but would never buy a car with one fitted even if it had an extra cooler on gearbox oil. These days even our smaller car engines work a lot harder and need xtra cooling let alone supplemental radiator] auto box''s. Mind you you still get around Europe Al.
