You can use a weight distribution hitch for your 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan with a 480 lb tongue weight. The hitches for this vehicle all have a maximum 5,000 lbs towing/500 lb tongue weight capacity, like you mentioned:
- etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98854
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13364
Though you are close to the capacity, so long as you are under the 500 lb tongue weight it is safe, but you will need a weight distribution hitch. For a 480 lb tongue weight the best value for its combination of quality and price is the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution with 2-Point Sway Control # FA92-00-0800.
This system is for total tongue weights between 400 lbs and 800 lbs so it's perfect for your application. The only other thing you need to go with this system is the 2" Hitch Ball # 40038.
Finally, if you need a trailer wiring harness for your '19 Grand Caravan the correct part is the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56331.
