Family of six looking for tow vehicle
Hello! We are a tall family of six. Kids are between 5'8-6'2. Trying to find a vehicle that could tow a TT (not purchased yet). The crossovers are too small inside to fit us. Looking at this vehi...

Thank you again. We are at about 1000 pounds just for family. What really sucks is how much im realizing 1/2 ton SUVs are meant for smaller families who want to tow. No wonder the crossovers are becoming so popular. We can't fit in one however! The backseat is tiny in those too.
So here's plan b. We also own a 2000 silverado truck.. 8700 max tow and 2144 payload. We really don't fit in the cab well it's cramped. I figure that could tow whatever small trailer the expy could tow. We may just have to accept the fact that since I'm not loving the other TV options we are just going to have to take 2 vehicles camping. Any long road trips we could maybe just rent something. Our tow vehicle being the main family vehicle is obviously going to be a challenge. When my kids are gone someday I can buy whatever I want, but of course wish they were there with me. :) our camping sites are usually 2-3 hours away.
So, would a rear wheel drive silverado truck with specs above handle a small trailer, with likely only a couple of passengers? Decent plan b?
