Most of the minivans have a payload of about 1500#. My wife and I would account for 300# and then we would have about 200# of stuff in the back. Call it 500#. That should leave 1,000# remaining. I think most tongue weights of small trailers in the 3500 range might be 300# or so. That's why I wondered about WD hitches.
In a previous life we had a big trailer+Suburban+WDhitch and man, we hated that whole BS about lugging heavy bars and the dirt and grease and time to hookup/setup. I really don't want to be in that world of needing a major hand washing after simply hooking up my trailer.
