Recommended Parts To Tow a Trailer With a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan
Question:
I recently bought a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan. It says it has the factory tow package but what parts do I need to to a 15 ft. trailer?

Expert Reply:
In order to tow a trailer with a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan you'll need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and a ball mount/hitch ball. The towing package usually includes additional coolers and in some cases upgraded brakes but not necessarily the trailer hitch and wiring harness.
For a trailer hitch, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75119 is what I recommend as it offers a custom bolt-on fit with no cutting or drilling required. For a trailer wiring harness, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118376 is a plug-in-play option. Then for a ball mount/hitch ball, the etrailer Ball Mount Kit part # 989900 should have you covered.
