SheBantam

 DavidPI dug this up out of history...We have 2 campers and would like to get a jon boat with bimini top for the boys to fish in...we have one tow vehicle.
 
 I was researching as we are looking for another tow vehicle that we could pay cash for,  or get a loan if needed, and use as a family car.  Ideally, I would like it to be strong and safe enough to pull the Bantam, hopefully not have to have a WDH (trailer dealership says the F150 does not need one for the trailers the size I pull).
 
 I want a reliable, affordable van/mini van that gets reasonably good gas milage so it can be used a family car when not towing. Stout enough to handle the Bantam.  If I wanted to just pull the Jayco or a small boat, would a windstar type be sufficient?
