Expert Reply:
For your 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan without stow and go seats the best hitch we have for towing would be the Draw Tite part # 75119 which is a confirmed fit and has a 2 inch opening. This hitch size has the best towing capacities and the most accessories made for it so it's the best way to go when available.
Then for trailer wiring you'd want the part # 118300 which is also a confirmed fit.
Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
