The au-bf wagon does a good job up to a point. The engine is powerful enough and the driveline is strong enough. I was towing a 1200kg car on a light car trailer not a problem. Always have to careful though that the tail doesn't wag the dog, as the towing car weight and wheelbase get much smaller, or the towed rig gets heavier. I'd try a Territory, you might find one already set-up to tow with heavy duty tow bar and transmission cooler.

Last of the fairlanes or LTDs can be had for under 10k.
Like this, but the 6pot version http://www.carsales.com.au/private/d...k&sort=default That one has all the fruit. V8, leather, Sat Nav, DVD, HD tow bar, etc... Under 10k
