SUV's must be built with extra heavy frames to keep the bodies from flexing of any kind. Therefore, every SUV weighs a lot.
By the time you put the wife, 2.3 children and all their stuff in the rear, they're taxing the engine, suspension and tire capabilities of the vehicle.
There's simply nothing left to account for trailer tongue weight and towing the weight of a heavy recreational vehicle. All the weight really would require a "big dually" van, and there's no room in the retail market for such a monster truck.
Nobody will ever make such a vehicle in mass in the future. Most people will use a 3/4 ton or 1 ton diesel crewcab pickup truck which will deal with all the weights.
