Vans are very underapreciated tow vehicles. With so much covered they are really good for storage. A properly equipped 3/4 or 1 ton (no extended Fords or Dodges due to frames being shorter than the body) with a weight distributing hitch can tow as much as any truck. Plus since vans rarely are diesel, they can have even higher payloads.
In my past I used a v10 Ford E350 std length passenger van to tow a 24’ TT with, family rode in the van and the trailer pulled easily except for mountains. I just knew how to use the TT brake controller and kept the elect brakes set up correctly. Gas mileage was 8 but hey, that was expected.
