Yep it depends on what New SUV you get as to what TT you can tow. Anything less than an Expedition, or Suburban, and you need to get a popup, 18' max ultra lite. You option expand quickly with the Burb, or Expe.
Surprising and quite misleading advice from someone usually better with info. Not sure why the hate for SUVs?
In any case, I tow regularly with my 4Runner V8 Limited (rated @ 7k tow) at about 6000-6500 lbs with a full cargo area in SUV. A bit of lugging on the steep mountains, but never had a handling or braking issue.
I do use a Prodigy proportional brake controller and now have 10ply LT tires, oversized by 1in.
No bouncing, no sway (WDH with sway control), no problems.
