Creating a Roof Rack for 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan

We used to have roof rack kits from Yakima and Thule, but Yakima long phased out their compatible systems and it was just Thule for a while making roof racks for 2011 and newer Dodge Caravans/Grand Caravans. Thule used the Rapid Traverse Feet which is what you see in the videos. Since then though, Thule has phased out their Rapid Traverse Fit Kits and replaced it with their Wingbar Evo Towers. Since your vehicle has a naked roof, it requires custom-fit hooks or fit kits. Thule has not yet designed an Evo fit kit for the newer Dodge Grand Caravans.

If you still want a roof rack system, you need to do some customizations to the roof of your vehicle. One method is to attach the Thule track system # THTP54 to your roof. From there, you attach the Podium Fit Kit # THKIT3101 and the Podium Feet # TH460R. Finally, you put the crossbars on top. The Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars 53" # TH711420 are a good option. You can also get the 60" crossbars # TH711520, but I prefer the 53" for your vehicle for minimal overhang.

Until brands are able to make roof racks for 2011 and later Dodge Grand Caravans, some drilling and creativity is needed to get a working roof rack on your vehicle.
