Best SUV to pull a 19' Sportsman trailer

For a cost effective option, don't be afraid to try just a V8 Ford Explorer with tow package...you can find them as new or old as you want, any price range, from just bare bones to Eddie Bauer versions decked out with leather, heated seats, etc. It would give you an option that is easy to find in any new or used car market.

I pull a 3100lb KZ Coyote c163 TT with just my V6 Ford Explorer (beefed up hitch, electric breaks, etc) without any difficulties though havn't had to scale anything sizeable in elevation change here in the midwest!!
