2011 Chrysler Grand Caravan towing capacity
The 2011 Chrysler Grand Caravan is published in 2 configurations with a tow rating of 3,800 lb (compact SUV / minivan territory).
The table below lists every trim of the 2011 Chrysler Grand Caravan with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

How to interpret the headline tow figure
Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.
How this year compares to 2009
The 2009 Chrysler Grand Caravan carried a maximum tow rating of 3,600 lb. The 2011 model adds 200 lb on top of that — usually a sign the manufacturer added a tow package option, refreshed the powertrain, or revised hitch class certification. See the 2009 Chrysler Grand Caravan page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
