Expert Reply:
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 you would want part # A-90 and for a 2-5/16 inch ball # 19286.
For trailer wiring you then would want the part # C56331.
