RE: Towing a trailer with a Dodge Caravan
I've had two Caravan's
first 2000 Grand Caravan - w/ 3.8 NOTE it had the upgraded suspension and tranny cooler -> just no hitch from factory
towed a 12 foot hardtop camping trailer no problems through western Canada mountains.
2'nd is 2003 Grand with same 3.8 - has heavy duty transmission and tranny cooler but no quite as heavy suspension
- did a test tow on a 17-19 foot hardside trailer - did pull it but boy did it need trailer anti sway bars
Make sure to have at least the tranny cooler and preferably the heavy trans.
