Macan & F-Pace are too small IMO. Blur said he wants to tow a 3500lbs trailer with ease, Macan / F-Pace and the like are usually rated for 4500-5000lbs, so it'll tow it, but not "with ease". He also wants room for a bunch of dogs, and a cushy interior. Both would be tight loaded up with the dogs and everything else for an extended road trip to the East Coast.
Pentastar Durango is a good option, I feel like those are forgotten, probably some deals to be had - relatively speaking.
