Big SUV or truck
Looking for a tow vehicle for our new trailer. 5500# GVWR and tongue weight is around 650# loaded but may be more if we add bikes in our internal bike storage area. I've got 4 options I'm consider...

I don't like the look of toppers, at all, LOL but even if I succumbed to one, still can't see me getting climbing in with heels and a skirt to get out the baby's bag for daycare.
This is why I was considering the large SUV. Even though none of them are my style either.
Just want to point out that even with two car seats in the back seat of a crew cab truck, there is still a lot of floor room for diaper bags, groceries, etc. where you would only need to put a stroller in the truck bed. Current trucks are a lot more family friendly than they used to be.
We have both a crew cab truck w/ canopy and Sequoia and actually prefer to use the truck for family outings...although 2 kids and no car seats but additionally, two small dogs.
We too have a crew cab with a topper and an SUV. We always use the truck for family trips as you can fit the whole family in the truck and tons of stuff in the bed. I also put a roof rack on so we can haul a space booster if we want.
I have had SUVs, Vans, Trucks, and Cars and nothing tops the usefulness of the crew cab pickup for a family unless you need seating for 6+
