Buying van to pull my trailer

I have a 2003 Jayco 10 ft. fold out a camper trailer with the 2 ft. storage in front. It has size 14 radial tires. Trailer weight 1950 net about 2800 gross.
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.

    You'll need to see what engine comes with the towing package. You'll definitely want the towing package as it will come with an auxiliary transmission cooler, reciever hitch and wiring. The trans cooler is the most important thing as Caravans are not known for having strong transmissions and towing can be hard on any automatic trans if not equipped right. Go online and see what the options and specs are for the van your looking for.
