Your van should have plenty of tow capacity, but I would look into carry capacity. Trying to load the entire group, upwards of 10 people in the van, and then hitching a trailer that weighs in around 8000 lbs, with a tongue weight of 1200 or so, and the hitch and personal items also loaded in the van, that may be the number you run into trouble with. You may end up having to have a second vehicle along to get the whole crew out there.
You have a lot of capability, but your also looking to ask a lot, so just check the paperwork or at least the door stickers.
Having 10 people wouldn't be the norm. We just wanted to have the space in case we did have them ride with us and a trailer to accomadate them even if,they didn't ride with us. With that said, we wouldn't ride anywhere with full tanks if we had a full load of people. GVWR of the van is 8700 and combined is 18,500
Thanks
