The RS-platform Chrysler minivans are a short- and long-wheelbase passenger minivans marketed by Chrysler from model years 2001–2007, as the fourth generation Chrysler minivans, heavily revised versions of their predecessors, the NS minivans.
The RS generation introduced a breakthrough fold-flat seating concept marketed as Stow 'N Go seating, available exclusively on long-wheelbase models.
Marketed variously as the Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, and the Chrysler Voyager — the RS generation was coincided with the discontinuation of the Plymouth brand and the Plymouth Voyager. RS minivans received a mild facelift in 2005.
