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...

2013 or older Suburban/Yukon XL 2500. Fantastic vehicles, totally bulletproof powertrain. Mine is up to 170,000 miles, everything still functions perfectly, and I've spent a total of $23 in unscheduled maintenance over the last three years, all while beating the snot out of it.
Main selling features for me are the 6.0 iron-block motor with no AFM, and the 10.5" AA free-floater rear axle that's rated to 10,000 lbs, compared to the wimpy 14-bolt semifloater in the half-ton trucks.
Comfortably seats 6, and there's still enough cargo room in back for my family for a two-week vacation. No need for a hitch rack or roof rack. Trailer is 8600 lbs, back bunk room, two slides. This past summer we dragged it out to Yellowstone and back. 5400 miles in two and a half weeks.
