Award-Winning Features, Unbeatable Comfort, and Everyday Practicality—New Jersey Families Are In for a Smooth, Smart Upgrade.
A Crown Fit for the Everyday Hero
Here in Summit, NJ, a family vehicle isn’t just a car—it’s an unsung hero. It’s your co-pilot on drop-offs to Lincoln-Hubbard Elementary, your mobile dining room for post-soccer snack attacks, and your calm(ish) sanctuary after Costco runs on Sunday afternoons.
We get it. At Salerno Duane Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, we don’t just sell vehicles. We help local families find their daily rhythm—and we’re thrilled to shout from the rooftops that the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica has just been crowned Best Minivan for Families Award by U.S. News & World Report for the second year in a row.
This Isn’t Just a Shiny Badge
The Family Crown award isn’t given lightly. It’s handed out based on real family-centric priorities—things like safety ratings, interior space, kid-friendly features, and yes, the kind of driving experience that doesn’t make you dread the Parkway.
U.S. News called the Pacifica “the best all-arounder in the class,” and honestly, we can’t disagree. This Best Minivan isn’t trying to be trendy. It’s just doing its job so well that families keep choosing it over and over.
So if you’ve been playing minivan bingo and wondering which one checks all the boxes—you just found your winner.
