Maybe the transmission is less a concern than you're thinking???

Will you typically be hauling the wife and kid(s) plus the stuff, or just one or the other?

What sort and how much stuff do you have to haul? (How bulky).
How much weight for a typical load?
Is a tarp good enough weather protection?
