Have you considered the new Grand Cherokee diesel? Supposed to be great fuel economy, and I know my 2007 GC diesel tows my 2417 like a champ. Grand Cherokee may be stout enough to tow a toy hauler, if you move up to a larger unit down the road. I have not researched in detail, but it may be an option to consider.
Good luck! TM will be much lighter than a toy hauler.

I had a Forest River Work n Play 18ft. toy hauler and due to the axle is to the rear of the chassis to allow the toys over the axle, the tongue weight was over 700lbs. My Tundra v8 was stressed to pull it and the Tundra is rated at 7200lbs. The tow weight was well over 5k and loaded was closer to 6k. And fuel mileage was close to 10-12mpg.
