I'm not a fan of towing with a small vehicle such as a mid sized SUV. I always feel like the tail is wagging the dog. I would suggest a full size SUV like a Tahoe or Yukon.

I also like the new 1/2 ton diesels if you are looking at a new vehicle. They get amazing gas mileage and have good towing for smaller trailers. I wouldn't suggest maxing out their towing capabilities as they don't perform well on hills with heavy loads, but should with the trailer you have. Most of us consider that the gas mileage you get with a trailer is just what you get. It the sacrifice for towing a trailer.
