Are you going down the wrong road? Not at all, the Express van and Nissan are very popular tow vehicles for larger families. The Express van in passenger form with the V8 diesel are super rare though zero listed on cars.com anywhere in the US currently), the 6.0 is a little more available. The Nissan is a great choice all around and actually available used with the 5.6.
Diesel isn't needed for an 8k trailer even with a van full of people and stuff.
I would go the van route because there's a good chance those kids will want to bring friends along occasionally. If you get up to 8-10 passengers, nothing beats a full size van (when comparing to SUVs).
