Well fellow travellers I'm looking for a 4*4 to tow a van with, turbo diesel so what would you recommend at the moment the van is 1.2t

Probably a F250 should be able to handle it – only kidding!
You have a wide choice, as towing a 1.2 tonne van is not going to be a hard task for a turbo diesel 4WD.

A budget would help us or otherwise you will get responses from a 60 series to a 200 series and everything inbetween.

A van of that size could easily be towed by most if not all turbo diesels, therefore budget and preference is the main deciding factor here mate.
It's all leg work from here mate, from a Great Wall - (as someone said) an F250
from $23000 to $123000.
Personally we place great importance on remote travel, so the Patrol is our weapon of choice. If you intend to stay on the blacktop then some of the vehicles in the cheaper price range will do the job very
well.
There is NO perfect vehicle, no matter what anyone says.
I have heard a lot of good reports on the Kia
Sorrento as a tug. Choice is all a personal thing.
Cheers Colin.

Something from Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Ford, VW, Mitsubishi or Landrover.
But if I was you I would buy a Ssangyong seeing you haven't got a preference and don't care what you drive!
So how long is a piece of string?
Product brands are a personal choice and it's what ever takes you fancy, suits your needs and fits in you budget.
