Ken,
Here's some additional information. If you currently have one of these products, you should check out the owner's manual to get an idea of what your vehicle is capable of towing.
There are a couple of things that you need to take into consideration.
1. How many people will you be carrying while pulling the trailer?
2. How much gear will you be carrying
3. You need to consider the tongue wight of the trailer. This weight must be included in your van's GVWR.
When I look at my owner's manual, both the 3.3 and 3.8 engines have a max vehicle and trailer combined weight of 6,600#'s without the trailer tow package versus 8,600 #'s for the two engines with the trailer tow package.
