Expert Answers about Dodge Grand Caravan


  • Roof Rack Option For 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • THKIT1043 is no longer made, but I do have a solution for you! The SeaSucker # 298-SX6000B will suction to your roof and it's SUPER easy to install! It's just like all the other round bar roof racks systems you see but this one it just super easy to put on and take off. The good thing about the SeaSucker is that you don't have to keep it on your car. This rack can go from car to car which is awesome!

  • Trailer Taillights Not Illuminating With Hopkins Wiring Harness On 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • In most cases when only one function is not working properly or intermittently it means there is a bad ground connection somewhere on your setup. I would double check the ground connection on the vehicle Hopkins plug part # HM11141995 to make sure it is grounded to a clean bare metal surface free of debris or paint. Grounding issues tend to show up most with the running light circuit because those lights remain on continuously and so they draw more current. You also want to make sure the...

  • Will Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier Fit A 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan?
  • The Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT is confirmed to fit your 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan. The locks they are referencing will secure the rack to your vehicle and the bikes to the rack. I recommend the Thule Passive Security Strap for Trunk Mounted Bike Carriers # TH533 that loops around your bike rack and secures it when you lock your hatch. I recommend using a cable lock like # e98891 to secure your bikes to the rack for addition theft prevention. These locks are optional. With...

  • Replacement Wiring Harness for a 2019 Dodge Caravan
  • Sorry to hear about your wiring issues. It does sound like the module has gone out or is malfunctioning in the Curt wiring harness you have. You can't just replace the modules and if you are certain you have no other blown fuses then I recommend replacing the wiring harness. The Curt Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C56331 is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan and is a better product. Curt makes the best wiring harnesses in the towing business. This...

  • How to Transport a Canoe with a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • To carry a canoe with your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan we are going to need to add a trailer hitch and tow the canoe. Thule used to have a roof rack fit but then a few years ago they upgraded their roof rack system and since then have failed to release a roof rack for the Caravan/Grand Caravan unfortunately. The bright side is that by using a trailer you won't have to lift the canoe nearly as high. I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98854 since it has a matte black finish...

  • Can I Replace Factory Cooler With Derale Transmission Cooler on 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • It is possible to install the transmission cooler like Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets part # D13502 to bypass the factory cooler on the 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan however it is usually not recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. If you decide to bypass the factory cooler, you would want to go with the largest aftermarket cooler possible that will fit to get efficient cooling. The largest cooler that fit's is the best option because after market coolers...

  • Using Same Hitch on 2011 Grand Caravan and 2011 Dodge Journey
  • The design of the rear of the two vehicles you mentioned is different enough that the same hitch would not fit both vehicles. The overwhelming majority of trailer hitches are vehicle specific, they are designed to fit only one particular vehicle. For a 2011 Caravan, I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class III receiver, part # 75579. For a 2011 Dodge Journey, the Draw-Tite Class III, part # 75648 would be my recommendation. If you look at the linked instructions for both hitches, you can...

  • Roof Rack Tracks & Crossbars For 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • So what you can do is install tracks on the top of your 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan and then install the roof rack system in those tracks. You'll need to measure to find the right length of tracks, as well as the correct crossbar width, but here's exactly what you'll need: - Yakima Tracks for Roof Racks - 42" Long # Y01126, 54" Long # Y01127, or 60" Long # Y01135 - Landing Pad 1 # Y00221 (You'll need to order Qty 2 of this part number) - SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR - Yakima...

  • Can Thule Hullavator Kayak Carrier and Square Bar Roof Rack Work on 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule and he stated that the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist # TH898 referenced in your question is not compatible with the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. This is simply because the weight capacity of the Grand Caravan along with a roof rack is not sufficient to support the Hullavator. I instead recommend looking at the Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04083-04082. This system is a bit different than the Hullavator but it does also offer some...

  • Complete Towing Package For A 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • Although not always necessary, it is always a good idea to upgrade the vehicle for towing a heavy load for an extending period of time. In order to tow a 16' camper that weighs roughly 2,500 lbs. when dry, with a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, I recommend using suspension enhancements, upgraded transmission cooler, Class III hitch receiver, sway control, brake controller, and weight distribution if the gross trailer weight (GTW) is more than 50% of the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). I will...

  • How To Carry 2 Recumbent Tricycles On A 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • I do have an option that will allow you to carry 2 recumbent tricycles on your 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan, however, you will want to place one on a hitch bike rack and one on the roof. I am not aware of a hitch mounted bike rack capable of carrying two recumbent tricycles. In order to carry a recumbent tricycle on the rear hitch receiver, you will want to use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Trike Carrier part # HR1000Z-R-TRKADP. As long as the recumbent bike does not have a wheelbase longer...

  • Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier for 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • The issue with using a rooftop cargo bag such as the Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S30 on a minivan with a naked roof such as your 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan is the sliding doors, which could possibly cause some interference with the clips that are used to keep the bag mounted to the roof. Due to that, I recommend going a different direction for your needed extra storage, which you can do without getting a roof rack. A great option would be to add a trailer hitch to your...

  • Fitment of Hitch for 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
  • We have the part you need but, the Curt # C12362 and # 13389 are the proper part numbers for a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan and these will not fit a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. There was a generational change made between these year models. You need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 13364 for a 2016 model year Dodge Grand Caravan.

  • What is the Purpose of the Black Connection on the Dexter Trailer Breakaway Kit # 34-285
  • The black piece on the Dexter Trailer Breakaway Kit # 34-285 is simply a place where the power wires connect to. It is more of a housing than a connection point really. This kit can be used with trailers that just have electric brakes and not electric-over-hydraulic. If you check out the attached photo you can see how this will install.

  • Rear Cargo Mat for a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T
  • I checked with WeatherTech and the rear cargo liner that you need is actually # WT40265. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation, different color, on a 2011 model. The R/T trim level should not be an issue.

  • Will Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount Carry Harmar Electric Scooter Lift
  • Yes, the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver # D210 will be able to carry a Harmar electric scooter lift. According to my research these lifts have a maximum installed weight of 102 lbs, and the Curt ball mount's accessory has a tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs, though keep in mind if you are using the receiver but NOT the ball mount portion as well, it reduces your hitches tongue weight capacity by 50 percent. For example, if you had Curt Trailer Hitch # 13364 on your 2017...

  • Fit of Hopkins 6-way Square to 6-Way Adapter # HM47415 on Coleman Pop-Up Camper
  • Coleman used their own proprietary 6-way square connector, and from what I understand, it was only available from them. My contact at Hopkins tells me that the # HM47415 you referred to is different enough that it will not work. Since Coleman no longer manufactures campers, I am not sure where you would get an adapter. Your best bet would be to remove the existing connector on the camper and install a 6-way female connector like part # PK11604 (or whichever plug would be compatible with...

  • Recommended Folding Cargo Carrier for a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T
  • I do have an option for you but the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18152 is a fixed carrier that cannot be folded up for storage while not in use. Instead, I recommend using the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18151 which is the folding version of the above carrier. In order to determine if this carrier will work for you, you will need to first confirm that the trailer hitch on your 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T has a 2" receiver tube opening and the distance from the center of the...
