Expert Answers about Chrysler Town and Country


  • Equipment Needed to Tow Riverside Retro 165 Travel Trailer With 2016 Chrysler Town & Country
  • Don't worry, we can help you with this! Anytime the trailer's fully loaded weight is greater than half the weight of the vehicle towing it, we recommend using weight distribution. Since a 2016 Chrysler T&C weighs about 4700 lbs, I would advise using a weight distribution hitch. A weight distributing hitch will increase the capacity of the hitch, but NOT that of the vehicle. In your case, you'll still be limited to the 3600 lb towing capacity of the vehicle, regardless of whether or not...

  • How to Flat Tow a 2000 Chrysler Town and Country Behind a Motor Home
  • According to my research your 2000 Chrysler Town and Country can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground as long as you use a transmission lube pump from Remco Industries. We sell everything else you would need except for the lube pump. First you will need base plates # 242-2. Then, for a compatible tow bar, you can use the Falcon 2 # RM-520. I have linked a video of this tow bar for you. You will also need safety cables # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep them off of the ground. For...

  • Adding 7-Way Trailer Connector for Brake Controller on 2008 Chrysler Town and Country
  • Just about everything you need is available in one kit. Take a look at the 4 and 7-Way installation kit # ETBC7. This kit provides a 7-Way (the existing 4-Way will just plug into the 4-Way receptacle on the adapter) and it comes with all the wiring and circuit breakers you will need to wire in the brake controller. The only other parts you will need are a circuit tester like # PTW2992, and, if your brake controller doesn't have a wiring adapter, you will need # 20127 (for Tekonsha or...

  • Parts Needed to Install Tekonsha Prodigy P2 or P3 on 2008 Chrysler Town & Country
  • You can't go wrong with either of the brake controllers you mentioned. The main difference between the controllers is how user-friendly the display is. The Prodigy # 90885 P2 uses an digital display that will display error codes in the event of any problems with the trailer's braking system. The Prodigy # 90195 P3 has a more user friendly display, which will actually spell out any problems, rather than an error code that you'll need to go look up. To install the brake controller, you'll...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2007 Chrysler Town and Country with Stow-N-Go Seats
  • I recommend using the Curt # 13389 because of the quality of the powder coat on the Curt hitches compared to some of the other available hitches. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and is a confirmed fit on the 2007 Chrysler Town and Country models with the Stow-N-Go seats.

  • Bolts Needed to Install a Hitch on a 2011 Chrysler Town and Country

I've linked to a video installation of the Draw-Tite Hitch, part # 75579, so you can see how it works. As for the size of the bolts, looking at the installation instructions for this hitch (also linked below), it looks like they are a mix of M12 and M10 bolts.
