I've towed my 17B (3010 lbs loaded, except for this trip - 3300 lbs loaded) 61,877 miles over the last 4 years with a 2010 RAV4 Sport (V6 & tow package). Averaged 15MPG US up to this trip, 14.7 over the last 4163 miles (both heavier than usual & towing a bit faster).
When not towing, I get 25 MPG highway, 22 MPG around town (All US gallons). I tow on secondary roads as much as possible, usually at 57MPH max (although on my current trip I am traveling with friends that like to go a bit faster - we are closer to 60 MPH). The RAV4 is a very stable tow vehicle for the 17B, with plenty of power. What I don't like - a small fuel tank that limits distance between fuel stops. One problem - they dropped the V6 in 2013, so used is the only possibility.
Don't forget that you will likely spend a fair amount of time unhooked - I have over 112,000 miles on the RAV 4, and as my only vehicle, unhooked mileage is a consideration.
