I am looking for a reliable and economical SUV to pull a large caravan - what do you suggest?

I am looking for a reliable and economical SUV to pull a 4 or 5 berth caravan. What do you suggest?

A Skoda Kodiaq or Honda CR-V would be a good choice. You'll need to find out the weight of the caravan - it's often advised that you shouldn't tow more than 85 per cent of the car's kerb weight.
