  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • I really like the Thule Archway, part # TH9009XT. The rack has thickly padded cradles that will do a great job of protecting the investment you have in your bike. Anti-sway cradles will prevent the bikes from swinging back and forth during transport, and striking each other or the rear of the vehicle. The rack features a locking strap that would be closed in the hatch of the vehicle, as well as an integrated cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack. Although its above your budget, you...

  • What Gauge Wire Is The Black Power Wire Included With The Curt C56331
  • Hello Derek. The included black power lead wire that comes with item # C56331 is 12-gauge wire. They are intended to be used with a 10 amp fuse only and we do not recommend that you exceed this rating. If the 10 amp fuses continue to blow it could be the result of a short. Please inspect the trailer wiring and vehicle wiring for any damaged, frayed or exposed wire that could be causing a short. Also please make sure the black wire is connected directly to the positive battery terminal,...

  • Could the Swagman Upright Bike Rack part # S64720 fit Factory Crossbars of 2003 Dodge Grand caravan
  • The U-bolts that are included with the Swagman Upright Bike Rack part # S64720 are 3-1/8" wide x 1-7/8" tall. If the factory crossbars on your 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan are smaller than those dimensions this rack should do well. As long as you have the roof weight capacity to handle the weight of your three bikes you should have no problem using three of these racks on the roof of your 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan.

  • Will Car Top Cargo Rooftop Cargo Box Fit Factory Crossbars on 2013 Dodge Caravan
  • The Car Top Cargo Rooftop Cargo Box # CTC-18S referenced in your question is designed to fit most factory crossbars. To ensure that this will work with the crossbars on your 2013 Dodge Caravan, I recommend taking a couple of measurements. You will want to measure the height and width of the crossbars themselves, as well as the distance from crossbar to crossbar on the roof (crossbar spread). The Car Top Cargo Box will fit crossbars that are up to 3-3/4 inches wide and 1-3/16 inches tall....

These coolers install downstream of that factory cooler and further reduce the transmission fluid temperature.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2010-2017 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • I called around to our roof rack manufacturers to try to find you a roof rack. I have a solution for you but unfortunately they do not make any traditional roof racks that install on your Grand Caravan's roof. This is because the sliding doors on your Grand Caravan make it difficult to use systems that use door jamb clips. All of our naked roof roof racks use these door jamb clips because there are no fixed mounting points present. I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round...

  • Fuse Blows After Towing Dolly With 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • From how you described it, there might be an overload situation with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56331 on your 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan with the tow dolly. That said, LED lights don't normally have much draw and the maximum amps the harness can handle are 7.5 amps per circuit for the tail lights and 4.2 amps per circuit for the stop/turn lights. You said there were a lot of lights which is why this still might be the case. You can check the maximum draw of the lights...
