I've got the XC70 163bhp and is a good tow car and good econemy.I also tow a twin axle caravan which is fairly light in comparison to alot of other's coming in at 1500kg laden.It's a Lunar Quasar 615 which are a good lay out inside.There worth having a look at if your looking at having a bigish van which isn't to heavy.Good luck,Regard's Jason

This is what happens when you exceed the towing limit!

I'm heavily leaning towards the XC90 i think, maybe an X5, but i'm not a fan.
