    Default What company/organization uses the Dodge Caravan cargo for package delivery?

    Nationwide I see a bunch of 2006 Dodge Caravan cargo vans for sale. Low mileage, pretty inexpensive. Who uses them?

    Thanks. I know one of you all knows.

    Some insurance companies used them for claims adjusters, but I want to say that they rotate it vehicles before then. The Caravan underwent significant changes to the frame in 2011 and you want one built after that. Supposedly the earlier years (but same body style), were under supported in the front end, so instead of changes brake pads every 50k, you'd get to change rotors, calipers, other suspension parts, and get an alignment. For 2011 they changed a bunch of things to fix all that. Good luck.

    Sorry, that is the next generation that started in 2008, I was thinking the fifth generation started in 2000. Keep that in mind if you go newer though.

    Those look like USPS vans. Depending what one considers Low Mileage.
    They're more like usps, than fedex, or sub contractor units. Seeing how most delivery areas for the P.O. are smaller, compared to the FX type delivery places.

    That's my guess too...I have seen them used in the past.

    What sites are you finding these vans? Asking for a friend whose van died the second he went out of town and will need a new work vehicle the second he gets back to town.
