Which Touareg should I go for?

Eight years ago you advised me to buy a Ford Focus. It's still going strong and runs like new, still keeping the Focus but need to buy another vehicle. I would ideally like to get a VW Toureg. Should I go for the 2.5 or 3.0-litre? Happy to pay the extra for a 3.0-litre Mk2, is there anything else I should consider?

The 3.0 V6 diesel remains a current engine so probably best to go for it.

What would you recommend in the way of a cheap used 4x4 to tow a boat & trailer, combined weight 15-1600 kg? Must be cheap to buy, fuel consumption less important, as mileages are likely to be small.
