Hi, we are looking at buying a SUV capable of towing a loaded trailer for camping with the possibility of eventually towing a caravan. We will be expecting to own this vehicle for a considerable length of time and thought something new /near new and the budget is 45k. What would you suggest?
Thanks!

Hi there,
One popular vehicle that you may be interested in could be the Mitsubishi Outlander AWD 7-seater, either new or near new in your price indication. They have a braked tow capacity of 1,600kg for the petrol model and 2,000kg for the diesel.
A Subaru Forester is similar price with a slightly lower tow capacity of 1,500kg braked.
Mazda CX-5 GSX AWD is another popular choice, as is Hyundai Tucson, and Kia Sportage.

Thanks! Do Mitsubishi Outlanders hold there resale value, and what is the dependability like?
