I really enjoyed towing our pop-up with our Chrysler minivan. Held the four of us, four bikes (inside!), and still got 17MPG while towing.
As mentioned above, the 3,500 lbs. is only for the models with the factory-installed towing package (mine had a transmission cooler, load leveling, a more robust electrical system for add'l turn signals and brakes), and a few other things I can't recall.
That's great to know. I sort of figured there would be a "towing package" mystery to unravel. This get's down to checking all the used car choices for all those mystical numbering systems for options! I'm guessing not many people order minivans with towing options. BUT, good to know that such is the case. The good gas mileage is another aspect of my choice. I'd rather not get into another 10MPG towing situation.
You didn't mention if you used a WD hitch?
