Brock... my Corvette could support a 200lb tongue... the edge should be fine. But... the fuel economy you listed is lower than I'd expected. My Canyon is rated at 19 city and 24 highway. I have the PCM tuned and typically average 20.8 around town and my last tank split between town and highway was 24.2mpg, she'll get well over 25 at highway with the cruise control on.

Out of the choices you listed I'd go with the FJ just for winter use and overall looks.

The reason I express concern is because my Dad uses a Windstar to pull the trailer with now, and although I'm aware a mini-van isn't the most suitable choice, it has a really spongy feeling in the rear end when the trailer is attached.

I don't want my vehicle to do this... I'd like to imagine, though, that either the Edge or FJ Cruiser would have must stiffer suspension.

Would either vehicle have the suspension to support the tongue weight of my trailer without squatting or becoming really squishy?

Does either vehicle come with a factory hitch?

He doesn't care, he's not buying now, his trailer isn't here, you aren't getting a sale, troll somebody else, please touch my penis.

I just saw a ton of lifted FJ's at hatteras this past weekend and those bitches look awesome on some 33s with black wheels.
