Suggested Items for Towing with a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan

Question:

Please send me ALL the info I need and the parts I need to purchase to equip my 2001 Dodge Grand Caravaan Sport with a Class III hitch system using a 2 inch ball and a 710 Barzman system on the trailer I am hauling. My van has not been equipped with any towing packages before.

Expert Reply:

To tow with your Caravan, you will need a hitch, ball mount, trailer ball, pin and clip or hitch lock, and a wiring harness.

I would recommend the Hidden Hitch Class III Receiver Hitch, part # 87717. The standard ballmount we typically recommend is part # 2923, but I would recommend you measure the height of the trailer coupler to determine the proper rise/drop of ball mount needed. You will need a 2 inch trailer ball, part # 19247. To secure your ball mount into the receiver, a hitch lock such as part # 40107 is best, but at a minimum you will at least need a pin and clip, part # PC3. Finally, you will need the T-1 Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118376 to provide a lighting connection for the trailer.
