Question:

Looking for a roof rack so I can use a roof basket on my 2019 Grand Caravan. This will really help make more room for family roadtrips.

I recommend going with a roof rack that uses aero-style crossbars as those will greatly reduce the wind noise and drag you experience with your 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan. For this the only option we currently have come from Thule with their AeroBlade bars.

The complete roof rack system includes the 60" crossbars # TH711520 Black or # TH711500 Silver, the Rapid Traverse Foot Pack # TH480R, and the Fit Kit # THKIT1043. This system doesn't come with locks but they can be added with the part # TH450400. Please note that this roof rack only has a weight capacity of 88 lbs.

If you don't already have a roof basket then I highly recommend the Rhino-Rack part # RMCB. This comes with a wind fairing, weighs a mere 31 lbs, and has inside dimensions of 41" long x 30-1/2" wide x 4-3/4" deep. Attached is a review video of this roof rack and basket on a 2018 Grand Caravan for you to reference.
