Chrysler was the first company to introduce the modern minivan in 1983. Since then, it has not only been a sales success for Chrysler, it has also been a key social link for families brought together by the van during the past four decades. To help celebrate the latter, Chrysler has revealed the 2023 Chrysler Pacifica Road Tripper, a package on the Touring L trim meant for long-distance adventures.

Style and Functional Add-Ons
The Road Tripper is the latest in a line of Chrysler parent Stellantis special editions and follows a familiar formula. The Pacifica’s gas and hybrid Touring L variants carry over for the most part, but the Road Tripper Package — available with either powertrain — adds 20-inch gray wheels with orange accents, while the hybrid version gets smaller 18-inch wheels. The same color combination is also used in the door-mounted Road Tripper badging, and Chrysler wing emblems also get contrasting orange touches.
The Road Tripper goes beyond being a mere styling exercise, however, by including some functional upgrades aimed at making travel easier. All gas-powered Road Tripper models come with the Trailer Tow Group standard, which allows the van to tow up to 3,600 pounds. A standard roof rack also comes along for the ride and is compatible with a wide range of Mopar carriers and accessories. Rounding out the changes are standard Mopar all-weather rubber floormats.
Tailor-Made for Value
The Pacifica Road Tripper is available as a $2,395 option for the front-wheel-drive Pacifica Touring L, which starts at $42,230; for $2,095 extra on the all-wheel-drive Pacifica Touring L, which starts at $45,225; and for $1,495 extra on the Touring L Hybrid, which starts at $52,090 (all prices include $1,595 destination).
Chrysler will open ordering for the Pacifica Road Tripper in early 2023, with the first examples arriving in dealerships in the spring.
