Food, dirt, pet hair – you name it, it will likely find its way into the all-new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica minivan.

Stow 'n Vac
Stow ‘n Vac

Before implementing the Stow ‘n Vac (powered by RIDGID) in the Pacifica, engineers gathered minivan and SUV owners from various demographics to pinpoint the “dirtiest” spot in their vehicles.

Gagan Mann, senior manager of electromechanical engineering, and her team gathered 30 owners of FCA US minivans, competitive minivans and SUVs.

From the study, Mann concluded the “dirtiest” and “most cleaned” area of these utility vehicles was the second row on the driver’s side – with the second row on the passenger’s side the second dirtiest. Hence, Mann and her team decided to place the Stow ‘n Vac on the left C-pillar of the 2017 Pacifica, just behind the second-row seat.

“It shouldn’t be a process to clean,” Mann said. “You don’t have to go in the trunk to access the Stow ‘n Vac. It’s so easy, it’s like opening and closing the doors – you don’t think about it. Pull it out, quickly clean up and done.”
