Question:
Have a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Touring and trying to find how heavy a trailer I can pull. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica and it states that for this vehicle without the factory tow package it can pull a trailer that weighs up to 1,500 pounds. For models with the factory tow package this capacity jumps up to 3,600 pounds. I highly recommend verifying this information in your copy of the manual as well.
If you do not yet have a trailer hitch installed, I recommend the etrailer Class III Max Frame # e98903. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will use existing holes in its frame for a no-drill installation. I have attached an installation video on the 2018 Pacifica that you can use for reference.
For trailer wiring you can use the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118723. This custom harness will install by plugging into factory ports located behind the driver and passenger side tail lights. This will provide you with a 4-Way connector to connect with and power a trailer's basic signal lights. I have again attached an installation video that you can check out.
To tow a trailer you will also need a ball mount and hitch ball. I have attached a great article that explains how to choose the best one for your setup along with a link that will take you to our available selection.
