We have the electric brakes on our, no tranny cooler. We have towed from Vermont to the keys and back several times and have towed through the Pocono mtn in PA, haven't had any problems. Temps doesn't rise and we get pretty good mileage 13.5 in VT and 14.5-16 once we get down to the Mass border. Our older Grand Caravan (2005)  that had the smaller engine, had to work a bit. But this newer van has the bigger engine 280 horse power. Seem to be good. We have not tried the big Mtn out west yet though.

Leo B - I see your TV is also a Dodge Grand Caravan. Mine seemed to work pretty hard while pulling the R pod home. Am thinking I should add tranny cooler & electric brakes. What say you?
