it looks like your a bowtie guy, but consider a ford. we were a family of seven. we use to tow a 1998 3060 nomad, weight was 7800 pounds. we used a 2000 ford e350 to tow with. motor choice was a diesel , v8, or a v10. we ordered the v10 with a 410 posi rear. there was another option for towing which included a heavy duty transmission. we also ordered the manual extended chrome side mirrors. it didn't matter if we were towing or not the mph was always 12mph. climbed ever mountain out west with no problem, and it never ran hot. before this van I was a pure mopar nut, but the ram 2500 we had came with the 318(v8) and couldn't make it up hills without loosing speed, and in the summer always ran hotter then normal. we couldn't even run the a/c when climbing hills without it almost over heating. good luck.
