The Curt hitch that is designed to fit your 2016 Grand Caravan is part # 13364. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. Curt does require the use of a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 when you are using the hitch for any non-trailer loads.

Because it is at times difficult to find a good place to attach the strap I recommend the Draw-Tite trailer hitch, part # 75579. This is also a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening but does not require the use of a stabilizing strap.

If you want to let me know what you plan to use the hitch for I will be glad to make some recommendations that will work for you.

Since you plan on doing 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. If you do not have a trailer wire harness on your GC I recommend the Curt, part # C56331. This easily installs by plugging into the vehicle wiring located behind the driver and passenger side tail lights. When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and helps prevent corrosion.
