Which vehicles could work for my RV?
Hi Everyone! I'm a brand new rv'er and would love some advice. I have a 2615lb hard-sided travel trailer. I will be purchasing a new vehicle this year and I want to make sure I'll be able to safely...

Safe is one thing. You will be safe in any of those tow vehicles with that trailer behind, so long as you maintain both the vehicle and the trailer and ensure that you have good working brakes and tires all around, within reason.
Within reason, meaning you don't fill the trailer or SUV with rocks, or have three 300lb kids riding along.
Comfort is the other thing. Initially you will probably be able to convince yourself that it tows just fine, because you don't know any better, but somewhere down the road you MAY find yourself wanting for better performance, either in acceleration or handling. It is for this reason that you don't want to short-change yourself in the tow vehicle department up front.
Further complicating things is, everyone has a different idea of what "good" is. Some people are perfectly fine with taking a little longer to get from A to B. Others are foaming at the mouth if they can't do 85MPH in every situation.
