Is a Toyota Sequoia out of your price range? My 2010 Sequoia with the 5.7 engine tows almost as well as my F250 Superduty 7.3L Turbo Diesel. If so, what about a used Gen 1 Sequoia? I previously owned a 2002 Sequoia with the 4.7 engine and towed my 5000 lb boat all the time with no problems. That was one of the best engines I have ever owned. Fuel milage was poor (18mpg on the highway when not towing) but the engine oil looked brand new after 7500 miles, even with over 200k on the odometer. That Sequoia was as reliable as my brand new Honda Civic. I think you could find a 2007 Sequoia with low miles for a bargain and have a very reliable tow vehicle with seating for 8.
