For a 5000lb trailer, a Chevy Tahoe or Suburban (or the GMC equivalent) will be fine for you. An Expedition is a good option too. These SUVs are the best options for towing. If you want an SUV that has more than enough power, you could upgrade to a Suburban 2500, but none of these will get you 12mpg when towing. Otherwise, a crew cab pick up is a good option for almost any trailer. If you add any pets to the equation though, a pick up won't work for you with 3 kids...especially in 5-10 years.
We've had two Tahoes towing 6500lb+ trailers for 8 years now with no problems.
