An SUV and a V-8 won't cut it. Most SUV's have a very low tow rating because they are unibody construction. They don't have a frame.
For a full timer you will need at least a 1/2 ton PU and ideally a 3/4 ton.
Seriously? Let me guess, you should have nothing less than a semi to pull a pop up too right? Most V8 SUVs are full size and built on truck frames. They are plenty capable to pull a moderate sized trailer. Even some midsize SUVs like the old 4Runner and Pathfinder had frames, 7k tow ratings and as much payload as a 1/2 ton truck.
I had an ‘04 4Runner that towed my 5600lbs 26ft bunkhouse halfway across Canada and back just fine. Be reasonable in size and weight and a V8 SUV can tow just fine.
