Large family problem (we are 8)
Hello everyone! What would the options be for a family of 8? I am currently considering the vehicle. The Ford Expedition tows 9,200 lbs with the tow package and we also like the Nissan NV Passenger...

We're a family of 10...
Last summer we spent 6 weeks on the road. Next summer we plan on spending the entire summer traveling. So we spend a lot of time on the road and in the camper. I upgraded my Express 3500 Gasser to a Diesel Express 3500. We haven't had any issues with towing or with storage for our stuff. We seat 12 and have a lot of room in the back to store large coolers for food while we are on the road.
I agree you need to think about payload, once you pack all the people and stuff into a car for a large family the vehicle may be near max capacity for payload already. Then you add the tongue weight of a trailer larger enough to sleep eight and you may have an issue.
