How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match Class 3 hardware to the Caravan door sticker and the live 13362 card before you shop a heavier trailer than the van can honestly tow.
Watch on YouTubeShopping a trailer hitch for a Dodge Caravan in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit on this long-running minivan, then open the live CURT Class 3 shelf we stock for listed Caravan years. CURT 13362 is the in-stock Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver for listed one thousand nine hundred ninety-six through two thousand seven Dodge Caravan years on the live card, alongside listed Chrysler Town and Country years on that same sheet. The hitch card rates about four thousand pounds gross trailer weight and four hundred pounds tongue weight, with weight-distribution notes around five thousand pounds when the live card still says so. The live title also excludes Stow and Go and Sport packages, so read that sheet before you order. Door sticker first. Hitch second. Many Caravan owners are cargo-trailer or bike-rack shoppers, so treat the hitch rating as hardware capacity under the Dodge sticker.
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 a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver for listed one thousand nine hundred ninety-six through two thousand seven Dodge Caravan years on the live card, alongside listed Chrysler Town and Country years on that same sheet. On the hitch card it rates about four thousand pounds gross and four hundred pounds tongue, with weight-distribution notes around five thousand pounds when the live title still shows them. That is solid Class 3 hardware sized for honest utility trailers and racks that still respect the Dodge door sticker.
If the badge in the driveway says Grand Caravan instead of Caravan, keep shopping on the Grand Caravan hitch buyer guide. That guide already walks the overlapping Class 3 and Class 2 cards, including 13362 for listed years. Town and Country shoppers should stay on the Town and Country path when that badge is what you drive. Later Pacifica generations use different live cards and their own guides.
Read the exclusions on the live 13362 title carefully. Stow and Go and Sport packages are called out on the sheet, so a minivan with those packages is not an automatic fit even when the year matches. Confirm the live card before you click buy.
We do not stock a dedicated Caravan-only trailer wiring harness that we are willing to promise across every listed year on this page. Plan lights as a confirm-first step after the hitch. Ask before inventing a plug, and test lights before the first Canadian night tow.
In-stock two inch Class 3 for listed Caravan and Town and Country years on the live card. Primary Class 3 Caravan hitch on this shelf today when the exclusions do not apply.
Open live 13362 product →Parts-counter note. Confirm your Caravan year still sits on 13362 and that Stow and Go or Sport exclusions do not block the fit. Grand Caravan and Pacifica are not automatic clones of this badge search. Confirm lights before you invent a plug.
Find the Dodge tow and tongue numbers for your Caravan. The hitch cannot raise that limit.
Confirm the live Class 3 card still shows your Caravan year and that package exclusions do not apply.
No dedicated Caravan harness is promised across every year here. Confirm a lights path before the first night tow.
Four thousand pounds on the hitch card is not a blank cheque. Many Caravan stickers sit lower.
13362 opens a two inch tube. Racks, pins, covers, and mounts must match that opening.
We only link year landers that already return on this store. Today that means Dodge Caravan landers from one thousand nine hundred ninety-nine through two thousand seven. Earlier Caravan years without a live lander are not linked here.
We do not promise a dedicated Caravan trailer wiring harness across every listed year on this store today. Plan lights after the hitch with a confirmed path, not a guess from a later Pacifica badge.
These Caravan year landers are already live. We only link pages that return on this store.
Always confirm the live hitch card still lists Caravan for your year before you order. Stow and Go and Sport exclusions on the live title still matter even when a year lander exists.
Keep the tube covered when empty, pin what you insert, and quiet chatter with a kit sized for your tube. Ball mounts must match that two inch opening. Soft rubber plugs versus decorative covers get a deeper walk-through on our receiver plug versus cover tips page.
