I pulled up the owners manual for your 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan and it looks like the trailer towing capacity is 3,600 lbs if you have only 2 passengers, 3,350 lbs for if you have 3 to 5 passengers, and 3,000 lbs if you have 6 to 7 passengers.

For a trailer hitch that would have more than enough capacity for your vehicle Draw-Tite Hitch part # 75579 has been confirmed as a fit and would work well. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you would then want the part # C56331. I attached an install video for this as well.
