Vehicle Wiring Harness for 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan Towing Harbor Freight Trailer
Question:
Hello, I see on your website many Vehicle Wiring Harnesses that I am not sure which one I should buy, and I appreciate your help with choosing the wiring harness that I need. I bought a Harbor Freight Trailer in the link below, and my vehicle is a 2012 Dodge Caravan. harborfreight 62647 I appreciate if you can tell me which one I need to buy for the trailer that I have. Thank you very much.

Thanks for that info; it does not look like the trailer you are going to tow with your 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan has brakes so you will simply need to add a 4-way, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56331. This will give you the turn signals and tail light functions that your trailer needs. I have added a link to a video of this harness being installed on a '12 Grand Caravan for you.
For a trailer hitch a great option is the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch # E98854 because it has a hidden crosstube and is a complete bolt-on installation. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver more than enough capacity for your trailer; I've attached a link to a video of this hitch being installed on a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan to take a look at.
I also recommend checking out Ball Mount Kit # 989900 which is for 2” hitches and may fulfill your towing needs in one tidy package; two ball mounts - one with a 3/4” rise or 2” drop and the other with a 2-3/4” rise or 4” drop – along with a 1-7/8” hitch ball, a 2” hitch ball, and a pin and clip.
