Hello, there is one thing that a lot of rv'ers do and you have a chance to avoid their costly mistake. I have been there I went through this as well. That is the upgrade bug. Here's what happens. The children get a little older and they start wanting to bring friends along with them. The next thing you know the camper is too small. So now you're looking at upgrading to a much bigger camper. Maybe you're looking for bunks. Maybe looking for rear living. But inevitably most people do upgrade to a larger trailer at some point in their experience.
Right now you have the opportunity to find a 2500 suburban or a very nice Ford Excursion. These two SUV's will give you plenty of capacity to carry people, gear, and larger trailers in the future.
That said. Any of the halfton suv's will pull your current trailer. I am a huge fan of longer wheelbase for towing a trailer. So I would lean more towards a suburban then I would say Durango or Tahoe, the Expedition EL would be a good choice.
Thanks, Jeremiah
I agree 100% with Jeremiah, unless you have no intention of upgrading the Durango size SUZ's are not good for a longer (over 26') RV. The WB is to short and unless you spend tons of money on towing adds you are going to have sway issues.
Now if your going to stay in the 26' or under range, the Durango is a very good tow vehicle. If not look at the larger SUV's or crew/quad cab trucks.
Good luck Don
