Introduced for the 1987 model year, this long-wheelbase minivan was the stretched companion to the regular-wheelbase version and was created to give buyers more passenger and cargo room without moving up to a luxury-oriented alternative. It arrived during the period when Chrysler was rapidly defining the modern minivan market, and the extended-body format quickly became an important part of that lineup. The extra-length model helped broaden the range from a practical family hauler into something that could also serve larger households and buyers who wanted more usable space.
Over time, the nameplate followed the same broad generation changes as the rest of the minivan family. The second generation brought a more rounded body and a substantial redesign for the 1991 model year, while the next major redesign arrived for 1996, when the vehicle moved to a more modern platform and styling direction. Through those years it remained the roomier sibling in the range, generally positioned above the short-wheelbase version but below the most upscale variants from the same corporate minivan family.
The nameplate ended with the 2000 model year, when Plymouth itself was discontinued and the minivan line was carried forward under Chrysler branding. Because it was not revived under Plymouth after that point, this record reflects a single continuous production run from the late 1980s through 2000. Among enthusiasts and minivan historians, it is remembered as part of the original wave of American family vans that helped make the segment mainstream, and as one of the key body styles in Chrysler’s early dominance of the market.
