The deeper we get into the minivan+lightweight trailer idea, the worse it gets.
1. There are a lot of frontal area restrictions in some of the actual manufacturers tow guides. Like 40SF for the Flex Limited. That's a severe limit.
2. There are precious few trailers under 3500# that I would find useful, or worth paying for.
3. We live in a VERY HILLY state- California - where every trip involves mountain passes.
4. I really don't want a truck.
Ergo, I think I am back to a Class C.
