A large 4x4

I am looking to buy a larger 4X4 so that I can tow two horses and also use the car as a family run around.

We currently have a Grand Vitara and V70 and while both are comfortable they both lack the towing power of 3.5 tonnes. I do not want a flashy car just a practical, low as possible running costs but also comfortable particularly as my son gets car sick! I also need the 4X4 as often towing into fields and bad weather.

Another reader recently solved this one with a Hyundai Terracan. You wouldn't catch me on one, though.
