The towing capacity of a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica is 3,600 lbs if you have the factory trailer towing package or 1,500 lbs if you do not have the factory trailer towing package. If the trailer has an unloaded vehicle weight (UVW) of 3,350 lbs then thats means you only have 50 lbs of room which will not be sufficient for your Pacifica. Therefore, I recommend looking into a lighter trailer.

If you do find a trailer that is within your vehicle's towing capacity then you will need a trailer hitch, wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball in order to tow it. For this, I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98903 because it is a custom fit that will not require drilling, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118712 if you have a Limited, Touring L, or Touring L Plus because it is also a custom fit that doesn't require any cutting or splicing, and the Ball Mount Kit part # 989900.

I have attached an install video of the trailer hitch and wiring harness for you as well.
