Expert Answers about Dodge Grand Caravan


  • 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.

  • WeatherTech Floor Mats for 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan with 1st/2nd Row Buckets and Stow-N-Go Seating
  • For your 2019 Grand Caravan with two rows of bucket seats and the Stow-N-Go feature I can recommend the following WeatherTech mat sets. For BLACK Mats: Front # WT444211 Second Row # WT441414 Cargo Area # WT40265 For GRAY Mats: Front # WT464211 Second Row # WT461414 Cargo Area # WT42265 When you install your mats it is best to do this on a warmer day, or at least after leaving the mats in the sun for a while after unboxing them. Bending them "inside out" during this warm up helps to restore...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan for Towing 4,500 lb Trailer
  • You'd need the Draw Tite hitch part # 75579 for your 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan, but the only way you'd have a high enough capacity for a 4,500 lb trailer is with a weight distribution system since with one you'd have a 5k capacity but without a 4k capacity. For a WD system the part # RP66082 would be your best option as it would be rated perfectly for the weight of the trailer you mentioned and because it has the only sway control designed to stop sway before it starts. For a 2 inch ball...

  • Best Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack for a 2020 Dodge Caravan
  • Thank you for racing for a good cause! To outfit your 2020 Dodge Grand Caravans with bike carriers without utilizing a hitch, your best option is to use a trunk-mounted carrier. With two bikes per Caravan, I recommend the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH910XT. This can carry 2 bikes each and have anti-sway straps (which is obviously important for such expensive bikes). I've linked to a video review of this rack for you to look at. For security, I recommend getting the Thule Passive...

  • 10 inch Rise Ball Mount with 2 inch Hitch Ball Options
  • The Gen-Y stacked adjustable ball mount part # 325-GH-315 does have ability to provide 10 inches of rise as well as has a 2 inch hitch ball that you could use. If you were wanting a standard ball mount you could use the part # 80248 with the 2 inch ball # 63845 and you'd be set.

  • Air Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • For an air spring kit confirmed as a fit for your 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan the Firestone Kit part # F4169 would work great to give you rear suspension support. Then for a compressor kit we have the part # F2158 which will allow you to regulate the amount of pressure in the bags. You should note that air kits like this don't give you more towing capacities than you would have normally. They just help you use the current towing capacity safer.

  • Rear Helper Spring Recommendation for a 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • Getting out to our great National Parks is a fantastic way to spend vacation time but you want to get there in comfort before you have to rough it in the wilderness! Suspension enhancement can definitely help. The Coil SumoSprings # CSS-1195R don't allow the coil springs on your 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan to compress as much thus a reduction in rear end sag is obtained. In that regard they are sufficient but there is a better option. If it were me I would use the Timbren springs # TDVRRT. These...

  • Recommeded Trailer Brake Controller For 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan w/ OEM 7-way Connector
  • I have a few options for you to consider. The option I recommend going with is the Curt Echo Wireless # C51180 which will plug right into the factory 7-way on your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan and won't require any wiring. Even though your van has a factory 7-way it doesn't have a factory trailer brake controller port so installing a standard controller will be quite a bit more work. If you're dead set on a regular controller you'll need a controller like the Redarc Liberty # RED52VR and...

  • Can Black Module Be Replaced For T-Connector Wiring on a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • I believe you're talking about the black module box that comes with the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56331 for your 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan. If that's what you're wanting to replace then you'll need a whole new kit as Curt hasn't built out their module boxes to just be swapped out like that. You could potentially cut the wiring on the new kit and splice everything to the new box but that's creating more potentially for failures so I recommend just replacing the entire unit and...

  • Hardware Torque Requirements for Curt Class II Hitch 13364 on 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • The Curt hitch # 13364 that you referenced is a confirmed fit on your 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan and it appears on the linked page that displays all hitches made for your GC. These available hitches include two sizes, both the Class II 1-1/4-inch type like # 13364 and the Class III 2-inch like # e98854. Currently (December 2018) for their hitch # 13364 Curt specifies 48-ft-lbs of torque for the 10mm fasteners and 86-ft-lbs for the 12mm fasteners. This could potentially change if they ever...

  • Is a Hitch Bike Rack or Utility Trailer Best Option to Carry Bikes Behind 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • By far your best option to carry 4 bikes behind your 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan is a trailer hitch and a hitch-mounted bike rack. Your mini-van will ride better without a trailer, there won't be as much stress on the vehicle, and it will be much more convenient to use a bike rack as opposed to a trailer so that's absolutely the way to go. For a trailer hitch, part # e98854 is a great option. I strongly recommend checking out the Yakima HoldUp 4 Bike Platform Rack # Y02443-2 which will fit...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • To tow a trailer you need a hitch receiver, ball mount, and hitch ball to hook up the trailer, as well as a wiring harness to power the trailer's lights. Hitch receivers are custom fit to vehicles. For your 2018 Dodge Caravan I recommend the etrailer.com hitch, part # E98854. It bolts right onto the van and all the hardware you need is included. It's a 2 inch receiver which has a higher capacity than the smaller 1-1/4 inch receivers. To go along with it I recommend our ball mount kit,...

  • Cost Effective 4 Bike Platform Style Bike Rack
  • As long as you have a 2 inch hitch # e98854 on your 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan then you can use the Hollywood Racks Destination 4 # HR4000. Make sure your bikes to not weigh over 35 lbs and your wheelbase does not exceed 48 inches. I've included a video of me using the Destination so check that out if you want to see how it works!

  • Ramped Scooter Carrier for Use on 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • If your 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan owner's manual indicates the vehicle's maximum tongue weight capacity is 360-lbs, then that is the maximum weight that can be placed on its hitch. If the combined weight of your scooter and the carrier you wish to use exceeds this weight capacity then you will need to use a small trailer instead of a hitch mount carrier to transport the scooter. At the 360 pounds that you mentioned, you would be fine. Exceeding the vehicle's (or the hitch's) rated capacities...

  • There are several trunk mounted bike racks that are a fit for your vehicle. To see all your options, simply click the provided link. Of the choices listed, I would recommend the Thule OutWay Bike model, part # TH45JV. The OutWay is the most popular trunk mounted rack offered for your Grand Caravan, primarily because of how easy the rack is to install and remove. The 2 mounting cables are much easier to use than the 4-6 straps and buckles used by other racks. The cables are lockable, and...

  • For your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan you can use Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56331. This and all of the wiring harnesses for your van do require a direct connection to the vehicle battery. This harness will work with LED trailer lights. I have linked a video showing an example installation of this harness for you.

  • Receiver Hitch, Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • Of the available hitch options, I'd recommend a Class III hitch like the US made etrailer brand # e98854. To put your trailer ball at the recommended 15 inch height, you'd need a ball mount like # 2753 which will place your trailer ball height at 15-3/4 inches. The rear of the vehicle will settle slightly when the trailer is hitched up, which will leave you right at level. For a 2 inch trailer ball, use # 63845. For a trailer wiring harness, use # C56331 to provide a 4 pole trailer connector. I've...
