Hybrids, a poor man's touring bike ?

If you are looking to spend $500 on bike to pull a bob trailer, hybrids with a few mods look like an attractive option. Can anyone comment on whether these are a viable short trip touring bike ?
The Iron Horse adventure LX looks great except for the sus fork, but it's cheap enough to swap out.
Not many hybrids with rigid front forks. Any other besides the Trek SU 2.0 ?
