The Chrysler Grand Caravan towing capacity is up to 1,633 kg (3,600 lb) for the 2026 model year, according to Chrysler Canada's Grand Caravan page. Whether that covers your trailer is simple arithmetic: the trailer's own weight plus everything on it, kept under 1,633 kg. You can browse new Chrysler Grand Caravan inventory to see the Grand Caravans listed today, with the model year and trim on each listing.

Stellantis Canada's April 21, 2026 release on the 2027 minivan lineup says "the nameplate remains exclusive to Canada." Our Chrysler Grand Caravan guide covers what the van includes; this page is about what it can pull. If you searched for the Dodge Grand Caravan, the van sold under the Grand Caravan name today is the Chrysler Grand Caravan, and an older Dodge Grand Caravan has its own rating in its own owner's manual.

Key Takeaways

• The rating. Chrysler Canada's Grand Caravan page gives the 2026 Grand Caravan a towing capacity of up to 1,633 kg (3,600 lb).
• The package. Chrysler Canada names no towing package beside that figure. Stellantis Canada names the Trailer Tow Group for the Pacifica, so check the window sticker of the specific Grand Caravan for a towing package line.
• Tongue weight. Manitoba Public Insurance says tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of gross trailer weight. Take the van's own limit from its owner's manual and the hitch rating.
• Brakes. Manitoba Public Insurance says brakes are required by law when a trailer's registered gross vehicle weight is more than 1,360 kg (2,998 lb). That is below the Grand Caravan's rating.
• On the prairie. A utility trailer to the dump, a tent trailer to the lake or a load of cabin gear can come in under 1,633 kg, but only your own trailer's numbers say so. A trailer heavier than that once loaded is the wrong match for the van.

What Chrysler Canada Publishes for the Grand Caravan

Chrysler Canada's 2026 Grand Caravan page gives the van a towing capacity of up to 1,633 kg (3,600 lb). The same sentence names the kind of load it has in mind: small fishing boats and personal watercraft, small trailers of 12 to 16 feet (about 3.7 to 4.9 metres, our conversion), pop up campers, ATV trailers and snowmobiles. The page lists one engine, the 3.6L Pentastar VVT V6 with Stop/Start.

"Up to" is the part to read twice: the rating is a ceiling, not a promise about every load. People and cargo inside the van count against its own load limit, printed on the van's tire and loading information label.

The 2027 Grand Caravan

Chrysler Canada's 2027 Grand Caravan page shows the SXT with the same 3.6L Pentastar VVT V6 with Stop/Start, and it prints no towing figure. The rating on this page belongs to the 2026 model year. If the van you are looking at is a 2027 Grand Caravan SXT, take its towing rating from the owner's manual for that van, and ask our team before you hitch up.

Trailer Tow Group, Tongue Weight and the Hitch

Trailer Tow Group. Chrysler Canada's Grand Caravan page prints its rating without naming a towing package. Stellantis Canada's April 21, 2026 release names the available Trailer Tow Group for the Pacifica, not for the Grand Caravan. So check the window sticker of the specific Grand Caravan for a towing package line, and ask our team what towing equipment that van carries.

Tongue weight. Manitoba Public Insurance's Trailer Safety brochure says tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of gross trailer weight. On a trailer loaded to 1,633 kg, that is 163 to 245 kg, our arithmetic. Chrysler Canada's Grand Caravan page does not print a tongue weight limit, so take the van's limit from the owner's manual for its model year and from the rating on the hitch itself, and stay under whichever is lower. If 10 percent of your loaded trailer is more than the van's limit, the trailer is too heavy for that van, whatever the towing rating says.

The hitch. Our service department does accessory installation, hitches included. Ask our service team whether a hitch can be added to the Grand Caravan you are looking at and what it involves before you count on one.

The Pacifica Against the Grand Caravan

Stellantis Canada's April 21, 2026 release says the 2027 Pacifica's available Trailer Tow Group offers best in class towing of up to 1,632 kg (3,600 lb). Chrysler Canada's 2026 Pacifica page prints up to 1,633 kg (3,600 lb), and its 2026 Grand Caravan page prints the same 1,633 kg (3,600 lb). 3,600 lb works out to just under 1,633 kg, so the one kilogram gap is how the conversion was rounded, our arithmetic.

So towing is not a reason to pick one van over the other. The Pacifica's case rests on other things, which our Chrysler Pacifica vs Grand Caravan comparison lays out, and you can see new Chrysler Pacifica inventory if that is the van you want.

What 1,633 kg Pulls on the Prairie

Picture a Portage la Prairie family whose Grand Caravan does the school run all week. In June it pulls a utility trailer of branches to the dump after a storm. In July it pulls a tent trailer up the road to Delta Beach on Lake Manitoba. That is light towing, and it pays to know where the edges are.

Start with two numbers: the trailer's empty weight, from its plate or paperwork, and everything you put on it. The examples below use round figures to show the arithmetic. They are examples, not specifications, so use the numbers on your own trailer and gear.

A utility trailer to the dump. A single axle utility trailer whose plate says 250 kg, loaded with 500 kg of branches, comes to 750 kg, well under 1,633 kg. Wet sod, shingles or gravel climb fast, so weigh the load or keep it light.

A tent trailer to the lake. A tent trailer whose paperwork gives 900 kg, plus 150 kg of bedding, a cooler and camp gear, comes to 1,050 kg. That is under the rating, and its tongue at 10 to 15 percent is 105 to 158 kg, our arithmetic, to check against the van's own limit. At 1,050 kg it is also past the 910 kg (2,000 lb) point where Manitoba Public Insurance's brochure says to use a weight distributing hitch, so read the van's owner's manual on hitch equipment first.

Opening the cabin. A 250 kg utility trailer carrying a mower, a dock ladder and the season's supplies up to the Whiteshell, about 400 kg of load, comes to 650 kg. The arithmetic is the same every trip.

What it is not. If a trailer's plate or listing puts it above 1,633 kg once it is loaded, the Grand Caravan is the wrong vehicle for that trailer. The rating also sits above a Manitoba line: Manitoba Public Insurance says brakes are required by law when a trailer's registered gross vehicle weight is more than 1,360 kg (2,998 lb). Check that figure on the trailer's registration before you load it.

Towing With a Grand Caravan Through a Manitoba Year

Before every trip, walk around the trailer with the lights on. Check the running lights, brake lights and both signals. Cross the safety chains under the tongue, and make sure the coupler is latched and pinned. If the trailer has brakes, test them at walking speed in the yard before you reach the Trans-Canada Highway.

Winter is a different job. Packed snow and wind across open fields make a light trailer harder to keep in line, and stopping distances grow. Our guide to towing a trailer in a Manitoba winter walks through it before the trailer comes out in January.

FAQs

What is the Chrysler Grand Caravan towing capacity?

Up to 1,633 kg (3,600 lb) for the 2026 Grand Caravan, according to Chrysler Canada's Grand Caravan page. Chrysler Canada's 2027 Grand Caravan page prints no towing figure, so for a 2027 take the rating from the owner's manual for that van.

Does the Grand Caravan need a Trailer Tow Group to tow?

Chrysler Canada's Grand Caravan page does not say so: it prints the rating without naming a towing package. Stellantis Canada names the available Trailer Tow Group for the Pacifica. Check the window sticker of the specific Grand Caravan for a towing package line, and ask our team what towing equipment that van carries.

What tongue weight can a Grand Caravan carry?

Chrysler Canada's Grand Caravan page does not print a tongue weight limit, so take it from the owner's manual for that van and from the rating on the hitch, and stay under whichever is lower. Manitoba Public Insurance's Trailer Safety brochure says tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of gross trailer weight.

Does the Pacifica tow more than the Grand Caravan?

No. Both are rated at 3,600 lb. Stellantis Canada's April 21, 2026 release gives the 2027 Pacifica with the available Trailer Tow Group up to 1,632 kg (3,600 lb), and Chrysler Canada's page gives the 2026 Grand Caravan up to 1,633 kg (3,600 lb). The kilogram figures differ only in how the same 3,600 lb was rounded.

Can a Chrysler Grand Caravan pull a tent trailer?

Yes, if the tent trailer and everything on it weigh less than 1,633 kg (3,600 lb), the 2026 Grand Caravan's rating according to Chrysler Canada, and the tongue stays under the van's own limit. Manitoba Public Insurance says brakes are required by law when the trailer's registered gross vehicle weight is more than 1,360 kg (2,998 lb).

The Bottom Line

The Grand Caravan's rating from Chrysler Canada, the 2026 figure at the top of this page, is the same 3,600 lb the Pacifica carries. It suits a utility trailer to the dump, a tent trailer to Lake Manitoba or a load of cabin gear, once you have added up the real weights; the window sticker, the owner's manual and the hitch rating settle the rest.
