If my only choice of a tow vehicle was between the Colorado 7 and the Isuzu MU-X which should I pick and why? Would love to hear from owners of both re the good and bad points. The weight of my van is no more than 2 tonne fully loaded. Thanks in advance to all who respond.

We are required to stay on sealed roads and this route is showing as the quickest on my GPS but can't tell if it's sealed or not. On the road map it is a yellow road. We are o...
