Need recommendations for a Tow vehicle.

That surprises me with the 3.8. You pull that up passes going 80? Any overheating?

Curious as well, I haven't heard much good about the 3.8's in the power department. My brothers 3.6 2 door moves pretty good for a Jeep (still not on par with my Xterra tho ).

I can't do 80 up the hills but I can usually hold 65-70. Easy bound on Vail pass was the toughest, I think I was only going 55-60 when I hit the top. I added an additional transmission cooler due to the known issues of them overheating. I don't pull the trailer with it very often anymore since I now also have a Chevy 2500 Duramax.

Once again, bigger is better. Mid size is nice for mall crawling, towing, not as a the primary vehicle. If you want it to last.

I don't even notice the camper behind my Chevy and I can go as fast as I want up the hills.

OK but that's a pop up which means low profile which means little wind resistance. OP described someone pulling a travel trailer which, as I said above, is basically pulling a 50+ square foot billboard down the highway.
