The Safari/Astro is rated to tow ~6,000 pounds. You may want to find (shouldn't be hard, the only ones you can find up here are) an AWD model for those slippery boat ramps. Those are rated a little less though.

If you look at any of the vans, check around the rocker panels and around the windshield for rust. If it's one of the newer vans with the plastic cladding around the bottom, I wouldn't even bother. Those rust out even quicker.

If you wanna save a bit of gas you could find a Crown Victoria instead. Those are cheap and bulletproof.
