We are currently in a similar boat. I have no desire to change my 3500lb GVWR pup anytime soon, but I tend to keep vehicles until they die on me ;) My current daily driver/tow vehicle is a 97 4Runner with a 5K tow cap. Actually after doing the math on the correct rating it has a 5200lb capacity but that includes people and gear in or on the SUV. I wouldnt tow anything heavier with it. So, we are loosely in the market for a 2013-ish daily driver/tow vehicle. We want similar things like 3rd row seating and good gas mileage. On my short list at the moment are the Dodge Durango (6200lb tow cap) and the Chevy/GMC Traverse/Acadia (5200lb tow cap IF you get the factory tow package) We might want a hybrid in the next decade or so, and those seem to be our best options with room to grow. BTW... its SUPER fun to shop for pups and vehicles isnt it :D
