How to Select a Trailer Hitch
A Town and Country can land on Class 3 two inch or Class 2 one and one quarter inch depending on year and Stow and Go notes on the live cards.
Watch on YouTubeShopping a trailer hitch for a Chrysler Town and Country in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year and whether the van has Stow and Go seating, then open the matching CURT card. Older non-Stow vans often land on CURT 13362, a Class 3 two inch hitch rated about four thousand pounds gross and four hundred pounds tongue on the live card. Stow and Go 2004 through 2007 vans often need CURT 13389 instead. Later 2008 through 2016 Town and Country years commonly use CURT 12264, a Class 2 one and one quarter inch hitch. Grand Caravan already has its own buyers guide when that is the badge in the bay.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the product cards below.

Watch on YouTubeCURT 13362 is the deep Class 3 path for many listed 1996 through 2007 Town and Country vans that are not Stow and Go or Sport. The live card rates about four thousand pounds gross trailer weight and four hundred pounds tongue weight on a two inch receiver, and it notes weight-distribution compatibility around five thousand pounds with five hundred pounds of weight-distribution tongue weight. Confirm the exceptions on the product page before you assume every early van shares this SKU.
CURT 13389 covers listed 2004 through 2007 Town and Country, Grand Caravan, and Caravan years with Stow and Go. Ratings sit around three thousand five hundred pounds gross and three hundred fifty pounds tongue on a two inch receiver. If the seats fold into the floor, do not grab 13362 by habit.
CURT 12264 is the Class 2 path for listed 2008 through 2016 Town and Country years, sharing the shelf with listed Grand Caravan and Routan years. That card uses a one and one quarter inch receiver at about three thousand five hundred pounds gross and three hundred fifty pounds tongue. Later Pacifica shoppers should open the Pacifica guide instead of stretching these older van SKUs forward.
| Topic | What we tell shoppers |
|---|---|
| Stow and Go check | Fold-into-floor seats change which Class 3 SKU fits on 2004 through 2007 vans. Read the live card exceptions out loud before you click buy. |
| Door sticker first | Hitch ratings are not the Chrysler tow limit. Open hitch versus vehicle tow rating. |
| Grand Caravan sibling | Shared shelves are common. Open the Grand Caravan hitch guide when that is the van in the driveway. |
| Later Pacifica | Do not stretch these older van cards onto a Pacifica. Use the Pacifica hitch guide. |
| Wiring | Start with the wiring harness guide. If turn signals need a converter, open trailer light converter tips. |
| Receiver size | Two inch on 13362 and 13389. One and one quarter inch on 12264. See the receiver size guide. |
| Install habits | Confirm torque and hardware notes on the live card, then recheck after salted trips. See hitch bolt torque tips. |
Year jumps we publish for Town and Country. Open the lander that matches the door-sticker year, then confirm the live hitch card still lists that year. We only link landers that already exist. This run covers 1999 through 2016. We do not currently publish 1996 through 1998 landers, so confirm those early years on the live product cards instead of inventing pages.
Two inch vans use two inch covers, pins, and mounts. Class 2 12264 vans need one and one quarter inch accessories instead. Do not mix shank sizes just because both boxes say CURT.
Parts-counter summary: match year and Stow and Go notes before you pick 13362, 13389, or 12264, respect the Chrysler door sticker under the hitch rating, keep Grand Caravan and Pacifica on their own guides when the badge differs, plan wiring carefully, and never mix two inch accessories onto a one and one quarter inch Class 2 tube.
