Nothing built on a 1/2 ton frame will do what you need. Most will pull it but they won't have the payload to pull it with 3 rows loaded with passenger weights. Don't forget as well that tow ratings reduce pound for pound with weight added to the vehicle. New ratings include 150lbs each for driver and 1 front passenger. Anything else added reduces the tow rating.
The only vehicle still made that would work would be a full size 3/4 or 1 ton van. If looking used then a 2500 Suburban or Excursion although they are getting harder to find.
Lol, whatever.
Hook a 9k TT to any of the new crop of big suvs, EcoB Expedition or 6.2 Burb and watch them fly.
Wdh to take care of the payload ninnies and make for a nicer ride.
I've said it 100x on here. What did all the ole codgers do back in the day when we didn't have 14kgvw crew cab, 900ft lb, 14" disc brakes all around?
