Hi there. I am looking for a vehicle to tow about 2 tonne (miniature horse float). The vehicle will also be my daily driver, so I would like it to have a few mod cons like reverse camera, stereo controls on steering wheel etc. Budget would be about $25k. I like the Prados but for that type of money I won't get any luxuries and also it might be too big. I am thinking an SUV like the Sante Fe / Rexton ? What other options would I have ? Thanks :-)

Hi there,
Your right, vehicles with higher tow ratings would be a bit older for the same buy price.
These options are the newest years I can see and potential for the technology (a camera can be fitted after if needed) have around 2-2.3 tonne towing capacity.
2011 Ford Territory, 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2012 Toyota Highlander (petrol V6) or the 2010 Land Rover Freelander. I don't know a lot about these vehicles in these year models, we've not received many complaints compared to the number out there.
