I note these specifications for a "Pinnacle" on a "review" which was posted on a sales site some time back. It may not be identical to the model you have?
If it is what you have, then the indicative weights would of course be approximate only and dependant upon exactly what the payload is and where it is placed relative to the axles. It may be that the Tow Ball Mass exceeds 350kg.
When establishing the tow ball mass you must also take into account the coupling [that may weigh 20kg or more].
Assuming the van will fit within the limits mentioned then even a late model Land Cruiser would likely fall short of tow limitations for such a van so as previous respondents have said a big American SUV needed unless say a GVM/GCM upgrade fitted to Cruiser.
Some further and careful research needed to ensure you can stay safe when towing the big 10.1 metre rig.
