Hey all, I test drove a 2021 AWD Pacifica with 74k miles today. It has the S package, theatre package and the safety sphere. I am seriously considering buying it. I have a few questions:

1.) is there a way to split the screen and have fam cam pulled up on one side and apple car play on the other? Ideally I’d love to be able to view the kids and Google Maps at the same time without having to toggle back and forth.

2.) the hands free lift gate only opens right? You can’t kick it closed?

3.) the lift gate is startlingly loud from the inside…. The first time I closed it I thought something was wrong. It seems less loud when I stand outside the van and close it. Is that normal? I am coming from a 2018 Jeep compass that has power lift gate and that thing is a whisper compared to the van today.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Took my boy to a lactation support group to do a weighted feed and get some latch advice because it’s sometimes painful. Lactation consultant said they don’t diagnose ties but she was suspicious of one and highly encouraged me to look into it. Fast forward to the two month appointment and my little buddy is still gaining but had dropped from 39th percentile to 10th. Weight check two weeks later 7th, even though we’ve been giving an extra 4oz bottle every night of expressed milk, and yesterday (two more weeks later) 6th percentile. Started more seriously researching ties and he does have a lot of the symptoms. We have an evaluation this morning with a pediatric dentist but I’m super anxious. Hope I’m doing the right thing for my kiddo. He is 3 months old now and I don’t want to ruin our BF journey by releasing a tie and causing an eating aversion. Also going back to work this weekend and I work overnights so I’m stressed about leaving him and dad to fend for themselves. Dad is amazing but lately little guy wants lots of comfort nursing at bed time and he wakes up constantly in the bedside bassinet at night and feeds a lot at night still. Just overall a stressful week this week and just came to vent I guess. If you made it this far then thanks for listening!

Seriously considering paying to ship a 2021 AWD limited through Carmax to test drive it. It’s got 74k miles (kind of high?) however it has the family theater package, the safety package, and the S package!! Also in the color I want. Asking price is $28,998 “no haggle”. Would be $399 to ship it.

Thoughts?
