My first question is how much does the trailer weigh... but even with a light 
open "economy" trailer (like I use with my Spec Miata), you probably want a 
towing capacity of >4000 lbs. I've been considering the V6 Chevy 
Traverse/Buick Enclave/GMC Acadia/Saturn Aura as a replacement for my V8 Ford 
E150. They can tow up to 5200 lbs. A Honda Ridgeline would also work. 

If you have an enclosed trailer, you'll need something with a V8. A turbo 
deisel V8 F-250 will tow anything you'd want all day long.
