After listening to your advice, we are now planning to update our tow vehicle. We need the vehicle to seat 8 people so that narrows down the options. Also, we aren't looking for a "luxury" model SUV and we do not want a van.
The trailer has a GVWR of 6500 pounds. It's a Jayco Jay Feather 29A. This will be our first trailer.
We've done some online looking and the vehicle options appear to be as follows. Let us know if we missed any others:
Chevrolet Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban
Dodge Durango
Ford Expedition or maybe Excursion
Nissan Armada
We have not test driven anything yet. We would like shoulder restraints and headrests for all seats so that may narrow down the list even further.
Do any of the vehicles lead the pack as far as towing ease (looking for tow limit of around 8000-9000), safety, comfort, and gas mileage?
Thanks for any recommendations and reviews!
