Expert Answers about Dodge Grand Caravan


  • Recommending A Roof Cargo Basket To Use On Multiple Vehicles
  • If I had to pick a roof cargo basket I would pick one of our Yakima offerings. The Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 44" Long x 39" Wide, part # Y07070, will fit on both of your vehicles. It is the same size as the Stallion Aluminum Roof Mounted Cargo Basket, but with slightly lower sides. More importantly, it comes with a fairing. However what makes this a better option is when you consider the added capability of attaching roof rack accessories directly to the basket's...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • For your 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan the roof rack I recommend is the Thule Aeroblade roof rack part numbers # TH711520, # TH480R, and # THKIT1043. This is our nicest option because it uses the highest quality components, is the easiest to install, and the bars are aerodynamically shaped which means minimal wind noise! This will give you a black crossbar but if you prefer a silver one you'd want the part # TH711500 instead of the # TH711520. I attached a picture of what this rack will look...

  • Can 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan Tow a Trailer
  • According to the owner's manual, Dodge states that the 3.6L V6 has a towing capacity up to 3600 lbs with two people and a trailer frontal area of 40 square feet. 3 to 5 persons would lower the capacity to 3450 lbs and 3000 lbs for 6 or 7 people. They do not list a capacity for the 4 cylinder engine. If you're looking for a hitch, I can highly recommend the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 75579 is it's the least visible as well as being the easiest to install. For a trailer wiring harness,...

  • Replacement Tire Recommendation to Replace H78-15 for Agricultural Use
  • The H78-15ST tire size is the same as the 225/75-15 tire size like the part # TTWSF22515D. This is a bias-ply tire that will work well for you as this style of tire is great for agricultural use as it has a stiffer sidewall than a radial. This tire has an overall diameter of 28.4 inches.

  • Locking Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • The roof rack I recommend for your 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan is the Thule roof rack part numbers # TH711420, # TH480R, and # THKIT1043. A Yakima kayak carrier like the JayLow part # Y04073 you could get the One-Key System # TH450600 which will give you 6 matching lock cores and you'd have a roof rack and kayak carrier setup that is lockable and all uses the same key.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a Roof Basket on a 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • 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...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • For your 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan the roof rack I recommend is the Thule WingBar Evo part # TH711500, # TH480R, and # THKIT1043. This rack is very easy to install, is well-made, and has aero shaped bars so wind noise would be at a minimum. Then for a kayak carrier the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 would be a great option. It's padded, can fold down when not in use, and could potentially carry a second kayak if ever needed.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • The trailer hitch I highly recommend for your 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan is the Curt # 13364 because it has a concealed crosstube and is a bolt-on installation that will not require drilling into your vehicle's frame to install. For a wiring harness so you can add a 4-way to your '19 Grand Caravan and power your trailer's lights I recommend the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56331 It is also recommended you use Dielectric Grease for Electrical Connectors...

  • Recommended Parts To Tow a Trailer With a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • In order to tow a trailer with a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan you'll need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and a ball mount/hitch ball. The towing package usually includes additional coolers and in some cases upgraded brakes but not necessarily the trailer hitch and wiring harness. For a trailer hitch, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75119 is what I recommend as it offers a custom bolt-on fit with no cutting or drilling required. For a trailer wiring harness,...

  • Recommended Wiring Harness and Hitch Installation for 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • The Hopkins Fold-Over Mounting Bracket for 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM48595 will fit the standard 4-way flat connectors on the Curt # C56331. If you haven't already purchased your trailer hitch receiver, I recommend the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98854 and I recommend using Loctite Threadlocker 262 - High Strength # LT37420 versus the blue threadlocker like # LT37643 but either will work well.

  • What Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier do You Recommend for My Bare-Roof 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan?
  • I went ahead and did some research on your 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan with sliding doors, and unfortunately those racks have been discontinued. Although it is not definite about why Thule and Yakima discontinued those racks, I did discuss with my fitguide expert that manufacturers did have fitment issues associated with the sliding doors on your Caravan. With that being said, I have a great solution for you. For the absolute best option, I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B....

  • Recommended Yakima Roof Rack for 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan with Factory Side Rails
  • For your 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan, it is really rare to have factory side rails. I recommend the Timberline Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails # Y33TR and the Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2 # Y00426. Then you will want lock cores # Y07204. Then for your canoe carrier, I recommend the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04069.

  • How to Wire up the GloLight Led Strip # STL179RB So That it Flashes with Blinkers
  • You have it installed the best way the # STL179RB can be honestly. There's no way to make it directional so your best option would be to have it blink with both blinkers. Otherwise it will only blink with one blinker which would seem odd. A better solution would be to install 2 of these side by side. The one on the right run the red wire to the green wire of your trailer harness and the one of the left run it's red wire to the yellow wire of the wiring harness. This way they will both...
