This has the inch and a quarter opening, it's part number is C12264.

Not a whole lot of extra that you're going to see, just your safety chain connection points, your receiver tube opening, everything else is hidden up behind the bumper so it gives it a really nice clean look. This is a class two, it's going to be very versatile as far as bike racks, cargo carriers, towing are concerned. It offers a three hundred and fifty pound tongue weight rating, thirty five hundred pound gross trailer weight rating but of course we need to consult the owner's manual of the Caravan to see what it's ratings are and then go off of whichever those numbers are the lowest. We're going to have a half inch pin hole diameter, that's going to work great with most of the half inch pin hole accessories, whether it's an anti rattle bolt, hitch pin and clip, hitch immobilizer. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan- Video
Today on this 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan we will be installing hitch part number 36455 from Draw-Tite. This hitch application also applies to Hidden Hitch part number 90169. The first thing you want to do is get underneath the vehicle and lower the exhaust off its rear most hanger here on the passenger side. To remove it off of its hanger you want to just spray the stud here down with a spray lubricant like a WD-40. And then we can just use a crowbar and kind of get behind there to pry it off. And with the exhaust off of its hanger you can kind of pull it out of the way here. With the exhaust pulled out of the way you can see we have two existing bolts here in the frame. Those are going to provide our two attaching points for our trailer hitch on both sides of the vehicle. more
