Need a car comparable to Toyota Land Cruiser V8?

We currently own a Land Cruiser V8 auto but Toyota are not importing them any longer into the UK. I do a lot of towing quite often with two large horses, which is the best vehicle to look at which is comparable to the V8 with the same pulling power and boot size please?

Jaguar Land Rover's 3.0 litre V6 diesel now develops 300PS and 700Nm torque in the XFS, so that engine in a Discovery, Range Rover Sport or Range Rover should be on the list. Possibly better still, Audi has now completely re-thought its Q7 and offers it with a full towing pack, plus 272PS and 600Nm torque for around £50k. Or you could go for a Mercedes GLS with 258PS and 620Nm torque.
