Scott,
Have you considered a light truck? I pull a 24
foot travel trailer (weighs about 5000#) with a
Chevy Silverado 1500, Extended Cab with a
5.3L gas engine. Mileage when towing is
about 11MPG. The extended cab allows for
up to six people if you put the armrest up
in the front seat.
Cheers,
Bill Sohl
