Safety: 2005 Chrysler Town & CountrySafety The Town & Country scores well in government crash tests (five star frontal), although it doesn't earn the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety's highest award. (Japanese rivals, the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna, do.) All Town & Country models have standard front airbags, and full-length head curtain airbags are standard on the Limited and optional on the other Town & Country models. A driver-side inflatable knee bolster is standard. A sliding-door alert system activates the external hazard lamps when the doors are activated. Anti-lock disc brakes are standard on all but the base model, while low-speed traction control is standard only on the Touring and Limited models. Stability control is unavailable--a glaring omission given that both Toyota and Honda offer it.
