Question:

The prices and design of the various hitches you show for the Grand Caravan seem very similar. Of the four brands you offer, Draw-Tite, Curt, Hidden Hitch and Valley, Which has the toughest finish coating least likely to rust? Thanks

Curt produces their hitch, part # 13364 with a baked-on powder coat. Of all the finishes, I think the Curt is the most durable. However, the Curt powder coat finish is very glossy compared to the others. Some people prefer the dull finish because it attracts less attention. If this is a concern of yours, I would go with the Draw-Tite, part # 75579. It will hold almost as well as the Curt without being so glossy.

My grandfather-in-law just had the Curt hitch installed on his 2010 Town and Country and he is very happy with it. He preferred the glossy finish as he thought it looked better than the others. I have added a link to the video of the Curt hitch being installed. I have also added links to the Curt and Draw-Tite hitch as well as their instructions.
