As for the Chrysler having more goodies and insulation, you're spot on with that.

For a whole 5 months, I drove a 2000 T&C, but sold it back to my parents for a 2001 Durango.

I always felt the 3.8, while stronger than the other optional engines, was underpowered for what I needed it to do. The Durango with the4.7 and 3rd row seat was more than adequate.
