Can A 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan Tow A Trailer
Question:
I picked up a used 2x2 trailer with a 2k GVWR with a 4way. Not towed before so what hitch to you recommend and do you have any concerns with this? Want to be safe.

Expert Reply:
Yes, you absolutely can tow that trailer. The 2019 Grand Caravan has a Gross Combined Weight Rating at 8,750 for example so you have more than enough capacity there.
A great hitch to set you up is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98854. With a matte black finish that resists corrosion and scratches, it's a great choice to do the job. You will also need trailer wiring and what I recommend there is the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM11141995 which plugs directly into the existing wiring and includes a powered converter reduces strain on wiring system. Finally a ball mount like the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount # C45900 is a great option to provide flexibility to tow a variety of trailers and meet different rise or drop needs.
