2002 Grand Caravan - Trailer Towing

Does the 02 GC come with a factory installed tranny cooler? I've looked
under the hood at the setup on this vehicle and there is a separate
tranny cooler hooked directly into the transmission. The hoses are not
connected to the radiator. All the mounts for the tranny cooler look
like a factory install. Is this cooler enough or do I need to add an
additional cooler? I'm looking at towing a pop-up at around 2200lbs
loaded. The existing cooler is sandwiched between the condensor and the
radiator.

 

Sounds like you have a factory or dealer installed trans cooler. They
do offer a "towing package" that includes the cooler, hitch, and
connectors for the trailor.

I would think that cooler be adequate for towing. Just follow the
directions in the owner's manual for tougue and overall weight. It may
also have recommendations for trailer brakes depending on the weight.

I know it didn't come with the factory towing package. The only
component I'm concerned about is the tranny at this point.
