GF who is now wife towed a 2 horse slant (similar ratings to yours) with a Dodge 1500 CCSB 4x4.

I don't know how she thought the 1500 was an ok tow rig but I suspect she didn't know any better and that was what she could afford. Trailer was at it's max as we traveled around on the HS rodeo circuit here in Oregon. The big truck was night and day difference, her words.
I would say an Expy is on the light side and if and SUV is what you want, a Excursion or 2500 suburban would be better. 250/2500 would work too. There is more to it than just tow rating. As already mentioned you're looking at 1400-1600lbs of needed payload which is the max for some 150/1500. I'd say you're squarely in 250/2500 territory.
