New and need Trailer options advice

If you absolutely have to have the SUV, you'll need a Suburban 2500 or an old Excursion. Those are the only ones that'll have the payload and towing ability you'd need. May consider a van with high towing capabilities. My Tahoe does the trick for our needs with a trailer that is about 7400lbs loaded, but we're basically maxed out on payload and axle ratings with 2 adults and 3 dogs in the truck and nothing else. I'm looking to upgrade to a bigger truck, but can't fit 3 dogs in a crew cab pick up and I don't want them in the bed of the truck (even with a cap and cages), so I've been searching for a Suburban 2500. They aren't made anymore, but used options are out there, just depends on your location. Most that come up are gov't fleet vehicles, so you can score a good deal on one with low miles if you search enough.

As for the trailer, with 2 kids, you can get away with having them sleep on the pull out sofa and fold down dinette while they are young. The problem with that is that you can't really enjoy the trailer while they are sleeping. You may consider a toy hauler with the bed in the garage for the kids to be separate and then you also have the option to bring along toys when they get older or when they don't travel with you. Some of the new toy haulers have the back gate turn into a patio/deck area, which I believe is an awesome feature to have. I have no toys, but have considered a toy hauler simply for the options it offers.
