As the other people said make sure you have a good warranty on the Chrysler minivan before you tow with it. You will need it. Make sure it covers the transmission as you will be replacing it pretty soon. If your motor mounts are old, the motor/tranny will sag on the mounts and the axle shafts will impact into the tranny. If you stress old mounts it will happen faster. Better to warn you ahead of time...
At 8500 ft for regular towing I would buy something with a small V8 or strong V6. 4Runner 19mpg, Sequoia 15mpg, Midsize Nissan SUV whatever-its-called, V8 Explorer or Expedition, Tahoe if you are into Chevy's good mileage too. Third row seats are available on the midsize SUV's. We have a small third row seat on our 4Runner but it's more for kids and small adults.
