I've towed a sailboat back from California to Central IL. The boat and the
trailer weighed just at 5000 lbs. I know this because we had to stop at a
weigh station in New Mexico.
I've got a V6 and sorely wished I had a V8, but other than the steepest
inclines (talking over 6% here), the truck handled well. Electric brakes
also saved us many a times.
Your V8 should be able tow it just fine if you have a Class 3 or higher
hitch. If you don't have electric trailer brakes (or wiring harness to
trigger the van's brakes), then just account for the extra stopping
distance.
