The Town & Country gets a new, simplified powertrain lineup for 2011. The new Pentastar 3.6-liter V-
6 engine that produces a best-in-class 283 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, yet delivers excellent
fuel economy, powers the entire lineup. The Pentastar V-6 engine is mated to Chrysler Group LLC's
62TE six-speed automatic transmission. Chrysler Group was the first manufacturer to offer a sixspeed
transmission in a minivan, debuting on the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country. New for 2011 is a
fuel economizer mode switch, a driver-selectable engine economy mode which assists drivers to
maximize fuel efficiency while driving. All the economy mode really does is to take the transmission out of sort mode which means it will have lower shift points and not rev up and produce as much torque as it would otherwise that's all. You should get around 17mpg city and around 24 highway dependant on your driving habits. It is your personal preference whether you choose to use this function or not. Try using it in econo mode for 2 weeks and without for 2 weeks, to notice the difference while driving and fuel economy, then you can decide your preference. Nice vehicle
