Our Nissan has been written off (no injuries) and we are replacing it with a minivan. This leaves me shopping for a replacement tow rig. Must seat 5, preferably with 4 doors. 4x4. Tow capacity 7500 or higher. $5k-ish budget.
I'm thinking an older V8 Yukon or a Dodge 1500/2500.
Any recommendations on what to look for and what to avoid?

Picked up a 1999 GMC Yukon. USA truck with a 5.7. Great condition for its age.
Tow rating is 7500, enough for my use.
