I plan on buying a 2008 to newer Grand Caravan.I was wondering if the
3.3 v6 could handle that weight or do I have to go to the 3.6 or 3.8v6.
I would go with the 3.8 making sure it has the tow package. A tow package doesn't mean it will have the hitch but the required mechanicals to handle to towing. The 3.8 will give you plenty of power to pull the 2800lb pup. I have towed my 3k pup with my '04 Town & Country and have not had any problems in 6 yrs. The T&C has 92k on and outside standard maintenance have had no problems with regards to the power train. I would make sure the pup has brakes and a good controller in the Grand Caravan.
