For a family, your vehicles won't work as the payload capacity is to low on those vehicles for the tongue weight of the camper along with the weight of your family and gear. That's why people use full-size trucks for travel trailers and pop ups for lesser tow vehicles.
Tow ratings for anything less than a 3/4 ton truck are useless as payload determines what size travel trailer you can tow. Do some searches, there are dozens of threads on the subject.
Yes, I think that is what I'm realizing. I don't want to drop a large sum on the GC just to realize that its not up to the task of towing the trailer that works best for the 4/5 of us. Anyways, put that into action today by buying a Subaru instead of the GC. Will check out the RV shows in the next 2 months, and once we've found the ideal trailer for us we'll getting a suitable used TV. I was even leary of pulling the trailers listed here behind a GC through the Canadian rockies which is our usual camping area.
Thanks guys.
