Best-in-Class Towing
When equipped with the proper equipment, the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan is able to get a best-in-class towing capacity of 3,600 pounds. The available towing package is called the Trailer Tow Group, and includes a Class II receiver hitch, a load-leveling and height-control suspension, and the average four-pin connector wiring harness for the trailer.
If your Grand Caravan has the Trailer Tow Group as an option, then the towing capacity would be 3600 lbs. A GC without it would be limited to 2000 lbs.
FYI, any trailer with electric brakes will need a brake controller to activate the brakes. You will need to check into this.
FWIW, I towed a popup with a Grand Caravan about 15 years ago. The GC did okay in the flatlands, but strained in the mountains. I recall being concerned about wear and tear on the brakes and transmission.
Hope this helps. Keep asking questions!
