Best tow vehicle for family of 6?
We have 3 kids and one (and last!) on the way. We're looking to buy a new RV, but finding a towing vehicle that can accommodate all of us AND tow an RV big enough for us is an issue. Any suggestions...

You would be much better off getting a good reliable tow rig, like a pickup, and taking a second car, instead of trying to stuff everyone in an SUV and trying to tow something.
6 people in an SUV pulling a trailer? Forgetaboutit. If you go the single vehicle route, look for mercedes vanabus or what ever the heck those things are. Drawback is, if you also use it as a DD, that is a LOT of vehicle to be driving around all the time.
Now if you get a Popup camper that weighs less than 3000#, you can get a Flex which can seat up to 7 and tow 4500#. Plenty, I mean A LOT of room in one of those for 6. It can easily take 4 car seats, and room for a kid not in a car seat, along with 2 adults.
Love my flex! Though when full, there isn't much storage space which is why we had the trailer on our vacation. I came upon this site when I went to look at a travel trailer that could be towed with my flex. Needless to say, we realized we needed a new tow vehicle! That vehicle is a 2006 E350 V10 van. Now we just gotta decide on a trailer.
