The cars or small crosovers don't seem to be rated for more than 1500lbs towing.

Any other ideas/suggestions?

There is NO way I would ever put a 4000lb trailer behind a vehicle with a CVT. Those things cost so much to rebuild you're best off scrapping the vehicle if one goes bad.

It’s truly pitiful though how few vehicles are out there that can pull a modest size trailer (4000lb), seat 4-5 comfortable and meet your mpg goals (which shouldn’t be far-fetched at all). Good luck in your search.
