In the end, the "best vehicle" to tow with is whatever you feel comfortable towing with...
Not what a bunch of interweb forum opinionated goofs suggest you buy.. :)
If you are not happy with your current tow vehicle, no matter what it is and what you are towing, get a more capable tow vehicle... duh...
I tow the trailer I have with the vehicle I have because it's comfortable for ME... How did I come to this conclusion?
Towing stuff for a long time and being overloaded at times and not overloaded at times..
Towing anything is a lot more than that stupid "tow rating" placed on any new vehicle these days...
Most of towing anything is your own driving experience foremost and what you can handle for hours at a time and be comfortable with when you get to your destination.
We can all quote tow ratings and payload ratings and the wind coefficient ratio of any speed while going thru hyper space, but in the end, it's your butt and your families butts that you are transporting that matters and if you aren't comfortable, then you need to make a change.
Do we all get it right on the first try? Depends, and you either "chose wisely" or you "chose poorly"..
