Thank you lanerd for pointing out his other post.
Being it is a gasser you are limited to 5000 pounds. Towing 4 down is usually 4WD territory, using a tow dolly broadens what you can tow. We have pulled our Sedona to MT and back and various short trips around home on a Master Tow Dolly. Our gasser pulls it just fine and it sits 6 comfortably and 7 in a cramped 3rd seat. We are going to sometime get a 4WD pickup to flat tow and for use around the property. But we will hang on to the tow dolly for those times we need to sit more than the 2 of us so we can still pull the minivan.
We push the 5000 pound window with the van and tow dolly, but it has not proven to be a problem and I do frequent checks of the MH chassis and receiver hitch for signs of a problem.
Anyway, all that said, watch your tow vehicle weight and you can pull most anything in the midsize area like a minivan, ford flex, dodge durango, etc.
