I looked at the Transit first because that seems to be the new popular van for families our size, but it doesn't look like they can tow worth anything. Our trailer is about 8500 lbs fully loaded, so I need something with some muscle.
The Transit has plenty of muscle and in a tow test like the Ike Gauntlet would probably perform comparably with the Express. The issue is the 13,000 lb GCWR which seems low. I imagine it has something to do with cooling and the Transit is considered a commercial vehicle which requires a tougher duty cycle.
