Ken,
Both the Dodge Grand Caravan and the Chrysler Town & Country have the same engines available. Base motor is a 3.3L and then there is the 3.8L. There is a tow package available and I believe it is available on both engines. We have a '05 Grand Caravan with the bigger motor and tow package. With the tow package, the vans can pull up to 3,800 pounds. The tow package includes a heavier GVWR rating, all the engine coolers, H.D. battery and alternator, load leveling and appropriate wiring harness. I believe the Chryslers only come in one wheel (beginning with the '05 model year) base but the Dodge is available with the shorter wheel base.
We just put a deposit on a '05 3023 that we're going to do a "trailer test" this weekend. From what I have been reading here and other places, I think we'll be OK just as long as we don't head west and pack carefully!
Hope this helps.
Steve
