More info on my situation:
The HTT' that I wish to buy/tow is fairly light:
Jayco X18D (6-8 beds)
(UVW = 3500lb, DHW = 390, GVWR = 4600)
I was just hoping that there is an alternative to a full size van.
Thank you for your post, VERY informative!
Sequoia or Armada are very nice vehicles with good payload, I will look in to these model as well!

Ah yes, the old conundrum.
"I want to haul a ton of people and a big trailer too"
"I don't want a van"
May as well ask how to drive nails but don't want to buy a hammer. A vehicle is just a transportation tool. Get the right tool for the job, or don't do the work.

... 4500 pound loaded HTT seems unlikely with 7-8 people's stuff. 6000 seems realistic. So that's 700-800 pounds of TW. 2015 half ton SUVs (Expy/Suburban/Yukon/Sequoia/Armada) have 12000-1600 pounds of payload. That may be enough for your needs depending on your specific weights...
