Your making the mistake of only considering tow capacity. Payload of your van (what it can carry) is the limiting factor and will be exceeded before reaching tow capacity. Take the advice of getting it weighed, then post a picture of the sticker in the door jamb.
The weight you will need to add to this is the tongue weight of whatever TT you decide to get. You can get close to this weight by calculating 12% of the Gross - not empty weight of the TT.
Add to this the weight of the hitch receiver and the weight distribution setup.
Good luck.
