How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why a Grand Caravan often lands on Class 2 or Class 3 depending on the year window, not on the minivan badge alone.
Watch on YouTube →Shopping a trailer hitch for a Dodge Grand Caravan in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then decide whether the badge says Grand Caravan, Caravan, Town and Country, or Routan. We stock CURT 12264 as a Class 2 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed 2008 through 2020 Grand Caravan years, listed 2008 through 2016 Town and Country years, and listed 2009 through 2014 Routan years. Earlier Stow-N-Go and non-Stow paths sit on CURT 13389 and CURT 13362 as Class 3 two inch shelves. CURT 56331 is the four-flat wiring path for listed 2011 through 2020 Grand Caravan and 2011 through 2016 Town and Country years. The 2024 Chrysler Grand Caravan revival shares the Pacifica Class 3 shelf on CURT 13383, and we keep Pacifica on its own buyer guide.
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 Grand Caravan cards below.
