At 7700 pounds, you should plan for 1000 pounds of TW. Half ton SUVs have about 1200-1600 pounds of payload, so if you family is in the 200-600 pound range, you may find something. That seems unlikely, though, family of 5+ weighs 400 pounds. 9000 pound loaded RV? No SUV after 2006 model year.
Some passenger vans would work. If you are thinking <5yr old used or new, Nissan has the NV. Chevy Express and GMC Savanna plus Ford's E series, 3/4+ tons only. I highly recommend the 2008-2013 Suburban and Yukon XL 2500s. We love ours, but they are rare and expensive!
APT, always quote the 1,000 pound max tongue weight on the 2007 up K2500 variant
