The materials are nice, with good attention to detail. We’re especially fans of the huge cupholders, which are big enough to house two 32-ounce Nalgene water bottles side by side. Up front, there’s plenty of room to stretch out, and lots of places to stash items within easy reach. It may not be as eye-catching as the Toyota Sienna or Kia Carnival’s car-like cabins, but it's far more appealing than the Honda Odyssey's frumpy appliance look. The Pacifica interior is a lovely place to spend time. What are the Pacifica interior and in-car technology like? The gas-only version also includes the Trailer Tow group. There’s also “Granite Crystal” exterior trim, all-weather floor mats and a roof rack (though it’s unclear whether its different than the Pacifica’s usual Stow ‘n Place rack). Available on the Touring L trim levels of both gas and hybrid versions, it adds special graphics and wheels in Luster Gray with orange highlights. The Pacifica gets a new Road Tripper package for 2023.

So could finding one at a dealer given supply, demand and potential mark-ups. Basically, we really like the Pacifica Hybrid, but the economics might be tricky. The $7,500 federal tax credit should help, but it’s unclear at this point if it'll still apply in calendar year 2023. The base Pacifica Hybrid is now more than $50,000 with the Pinnacle living up to its name with a price tag over $60,000. That said, we put the Sienna on top in a comparison test because of price, and the scales have only tipped further since then after Chrysler jacked the price up by about $8,000 in the last two model years. This efficiency is a key reason why that pair represents our top minivan choices, as they can save you $1,000 or more versus V6-only vans (including the regular Pacifica) in gas per year. Indeed, if that’s a priority, the Pacifica should be at the top of your list.ĭitto fuel economy, because with its plug-in hybrid powertrain and 32 miles of electric range, it’s possible for the Pacifica Hybrid to best even the sensationally efficient, hybrid-only Toyota Sienna. Key updates two years in particular ensured that its in-car tech remained just as state-of-the-art and well-executed as it’s always been. Despite this advanced age, the Pacifica was so well done from the get-go that it remains fully competitive, and in Hybrid form, one of our top choices in the admittedly small minivan segment. The 2023 Chrysler Pacifica represents the seventh year of this latest generation of Chrysler’s minivan, which is usually a year past when a car would be completely redesigned. It’s easy to pack, and you’ll be glad that you brought it along on our next trip.Pros: Unique plug-in hybrid versatile Stow ‘n Go seats great entertainment features good looks Cons: No cheaper base trim top trims and Hybrid are really expensive less-comfy second-row Stow ‘n Go seats The fact that it still folds up like a regular camping chair is helpful too. It’s a solid chair (supports 250 lbs) that is incredibly comfortable. I hauled the GCI RoadTrip Rocker all over California on a recent field trip, and all I can say is that they made the right adjustments. ![]() GCI listened and constructed it, so it cradled the user even more. ![]() The previous version was comfortable, but some users felt that it was too tight. The second thing they did was deepen the seat. A flat, hard armrest is just as comfortable and makes getting up much more manageable. Camping chairs will sometimes have to cushion wrapped around a tubular armrest, and while comfortable, it compromises stability. The first thing they did was to add firm, flat armrests. It of course still has the Spring Action Rocking Technology that sets them apart from other chairs in the camping space, but at the user’s request, they’ve added two new features. They have a wide variety of rocking camp chairs, and their GCI RoadTrip Rocker just got even better. Do you know what makes it even sweeter? Sitting in a rocking chair, and that’s why we’ve come to love the lineup from GCI Outdoors. How great is it to hop off the hiking trail, head back to the campsite, and plop down in a camping chair? You get to kick back and enjoy what camping is all about – relaxing and disconnecting from the daily grind.
