RE: Towing
check with your dealer or owners manual and see what its/they say
1200lbs isn't much but on a 4 cyl it might be to much
put a tranny cooler on it bigger than they recommend
with my 3.0 i pulled a 2001 starcraft close to 3000 lbs maybe more loaded and had the rv place put a larger cooler on4 yrs later no tranny problems
the killer for most tranny's is heat so keep it cool

RE: Towing
Check ur hitch rating it will be on the hitch most mini vans have a rating of between 1500 and 2500 lbs. U will only need a tranny cooler if u will be towing alot and if u will be towing in hilly situations.
