Tow Vehicle
Have a 31 foot Cougar bunkhouse that has dry weight=7115 and load capacity=1885 for total weight of around 9000. My current tow vehicle is a 2007 Chevy Crew Silverado 2500 with tow capacity of 12,00...

7100 pounds dry may be within all the limits of my 2011 2500 Suburban. At 8000-8500 pounds loaded, that is pushing the 1000 pound receiver limit. No way any other 2007+ SUV has the payload for 7+ people and 1000 pounds of TW. If you want newer/lower mileages, then you have to stick with 3/4 and 1 ton vans. If your trips are under 4 hours each way, then another crew cab pickup and second higher FE vehicle may be your best options.
