Sounds like you have a "good upgrade plan" for your van as well.
For me, I might tow a small utility trailer "maybe" 3 times per year. Simple trailer runs to my local dump or to local dirt yard (for self landscaping tasks). Since my utility trailer already has electric brakes on it, I figure installing a Brake Controller in my new van is worth it. Especially since a small load of gravel or wet load of top soil becomes heavy. When a "loaded" trailer is more then 2,000 lbs (especially behind small vehicles - like a mini-van), I like having electric brakes on the trailer.
I'm also a believer that if one installs a Class II hitch, they should spend a few more dollars and install a stronger Class III hitch instead. Class III has a 2x2 receiver and if needed, I can easily slip-in receiver peddle bike T-Rack. And, a stronger Class III rack if better for the bigger road bounce bumps (when compared to a Class II hitch).
If someone asked me to describe my new van, I'd called it "my family touring van" that happens to have a hitch and brake controller on it. As a general statement, our new really isn't a Tow Vehicle (like your vehicle pulling a PUP trailer). But if needed, we can connect a trailer to it (just like our previous van).
Good luck on your "trailering upgrades" on your '07 van as well...
