Help find Tow Vehicle large family 9 with seating for 12 min

12 passenger Chevy 3500 van with the diesel and 3:54 rear will tow 10000 lbs..

Its $50000 bucks though..

Plus options like locking diff
rear heater
Tow package
trans cooler

All will raise the price..

Actually 9700 lbs towing.. The V8 gasser tows 100 lbs more @ 9800 lbs..

But the Combined rating for diesel is 17000 while the gasser is 16000...

I would want the diesel.. you get the extra 1000 lbs for passengers..

So if you max out the vans GVW @ 9000 or so lbs then you technically only can pull a 7000 lb trailer...

But I would not worry too much about the sticker ratings.. I would go by the axle ratings of the truck..

But who knows what the van weight fully loaded with passengers will be...
