You need a Ford E350 with the v10. payload is over 3,000 pounds. GCWR with 4.10 gears is 18,500. You will need to upgrade to a class 5 receiver however, since the stock is only a class 4. A diesel would work too but those come with additional maintenance headaches, and it's quite a bit less powerful than the v10.
The Chevy Express will have enoug payload but not enough GCWR.
So I found a 1997 Ford E-350 Extended wagon V-10 4.10. If we upgrade to the class V receiver it will work for us? I found just one site that had tow info on it for the model and it has it listed as a 10,000 lb tow capacity and 5590 curb weight. Those were the only figures I found for it.
Thanks so much for the info too!!
