The Fastway # FA94-00-0600 e2 system you'd looked at does indeed have the proper rating for your R-Pod, it can handle tongue weights ranging from 400-600 lbs. This being said, due to the reduced ground clearance seen at the rear of minivans like your 2019 Grand Caravan, I'd recommend using a trunnion bar system like the # FA92-00-0600 Fastway e2 system. This particular system is rated for tongue weights of 250-600 lbs and would offer much better ground clearance.
The # A-90 hitch ball is sold separately, and a 1-7/8 inch thin walled socket is needed to install the ball. If you don't have one, we offer it as part # EQ70-00-4800.
If you'd care to see a video showing how to setup the system, click the provided link and you can see my buddy Randy walk you trough the process.
