Many thanks to all for advice regarding a tow vehicle. Finally settled on one, a 2005 Series 100 diesel manual (4 Door) Landcruiser. The deciding factor(s) was that it came with Factory Bull Bar, Water Tank, Cargo Barrier and built in drawers and cupboards. It's an ex rental and a bit long in the Kms...
