Recommend a reliable vehicle to tow a 1433kg caravan?

I would appreciate any comments from you about suitable reliable vehicles, apart from the Honda CR-V diesel, up to about £30,000 that could tow a 1433kg caravan.

I reckon the Mazda CX-5 is better than the latest CR-V. But the biggest, toughest buy for £30,000 is a KIA Sorento 2.2CRDI KX-2 Satnav at just under £30,000. It will do 40mpg solo cruising at 70, and 36mpg cruising at the French autoroute limit of 130kmh.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
