We have a a 24 foot Four Winds and even though the turbo diesel provides nice torque, we do most of our traveling around the mountain West and since the climbs can be severe and lengthy, I want to avoid anything g too heavy.
So does that mean I want no more than a 2500 lb toad? I don't know. Maybe an older 2 door Jeep would work. Right now I’m towing a Honda Pioneer on a flatbed trailer with a total weight of about 2500 lb and it works fine. We’d like the option of a “regular vehicle” to tow but just don’t know about driving around the mountains pulling 4000 lbs. Any input appreciated!

Sounds like you're looking for a Chevy/Geo Tracker or Suzuki Samurai/Sidekick but good luck finding one in acceptable condition.
I don't know of any new replacement vehicles in that market: I think Daihatsu makes one and there's the Mahindra Roxor but I don't think it's road legal in the US.
