I have an Adventra for towing my 22 foot boat (also have a 4 runner). Great car, loads of power, comfy leather interior, etc. etc. Oh, did you want good economy? 16L/100km when towing, 14 when not.
The Volvo XC70 (I think) was the best of what we
test drove when we were buying but $$$ prevented us buying it. I heard on here the other day, and have also heard from a guy that owns one, Xtrail is a good car but heavy on juice when towing.

He was towing the equivalent of a 15' van as
well LOL
The new model X Trail may be a bit better though
Cheers Kev
