What's the best vehicle to tow our twin-axle caravan?

We are looking to buy a vehicle to tow our twin-axle caravan. Preferably two to three years old. We have about £25k to spend. What can you recommend?

We'd suggest a Volkswagen Touareg with the 3.0-litre TDI engine. It has a maximum towing capacity of 3500kg and has lots of torque which makes towing a breeze.WeI'd recommend looking for one with the optional air suspension. Your budget will get you a late example of the last-generation model.
