You're pulling it with an older GMC Safari now. Any late model 1/2 ton PU with a V8 will tow that trailer nicely.
We used to have a GMC Safari. I loved that van, but it was the worst tow vehicle I ever owned. It struggled to pull a 2500# pop-up.
I am just stating to look as I am having an engine issue with the Safari.

They have had no problems pulling my 5800# trailer over our mountain passes here in Washington. While I could not maintain freeway speeds of 65+ on the pass, we did go over at least 55 most of the way.
