The manual list equipped with a class III hitch a Grand Caravan can tow a trailer with Max Gross Trailer Weight 3,600 lbs with 2 persons and luggage. The Max Tongue Weight 360 lbs. If your Grand Caravan is equipped with Sto N Go seating the MGTW has to be reduce by 100 lbs 3,500 lbs

So just keep it loaded at 3500lbs and i should be good? I have two of the same vans, one is a 2019 and the other a 2018.. I was thinking tow with one there and the 0ther back so I wear both transmissions at the same time and can carry more.

Yeah you should be fine with either of those 2 trailer if you keep within range within the cargo limit. Make sure you've got trans cooler on your vans .
