I used to tow a 33' travel trailer with a 1 ton van...Ford E-350. Mine had the 6.8L v10 gas engine. Our trailer was heavier than what you are looking at, so you may not need quite a robust van as I had. We also had significant passenger weight having 5 kids. Anyways, we had a good sway control system with the Equilizer hitch, and the setup was very good IMO. Rarely experienced any sway. I would recommend the setup.
One consideration in the Ford...I'd recommend the 12 passenger rather than extended 15 passenger, as the extended van has a large overhang behind the rear axle. The GM vans have a longer wheelbase in the longer vans if I remember right, but the Ford simply extends the box with the same wheelbase. I was afraid that overhang might lead to sway issues.
