And I would love to buy a brand new Porsche GT3 RS for only US $30k and keep my monthly maintenance costs to less than US $250 on that car.
But the chance that is going to happen is 0%. The later was not said by me just to be mean and I'm sorry if it comes off that way. It is meant to point out that choices are made in life and other choices will have to be made. You can't always have what you want.
You are asking to accommodate A LOT for a 8-9 person family. Do you want your family to be safe on the road while you are RV travelling? I am going to assume yes. If so, sacrifices will need to be made as there are not a lot of options open for you. If two vehicles are not an option, then I would suggest looking for a much lighter GVWR travel trailer so that can offset the amount of packing weight and passengers you will have. You really haven't even explored payload weight of the tow vehicle, completely separate from max tow weight, which is going to trump the max tow weight issue of the tow vehicle in question.
Sacrifices you may need to consider:
Much lower GVWR and smaller trailer
Two vehicles for RVing
Severely limiting packed items loading into TT with 8 campers to help reduce over all loaded weight.
Bringing a tent
