Any good tow cars not in the £500pa tax band?

I had a Navara for 7 years up until last week, was very happy with it, some have had various problems but I was fairly lucky with mine. I've just changed to a Isuzu Utah which is the same type of vehicle. Most of these pick ups tow 3-3.5 tons and they can all carry a 1 ton load. Good thing for me is that you can fit a canopy on the load bed and it can be hosed out to keep clean.
 
use my TDV8 rangie for towing my 3.5 (ish....) boat. bought her for around 12k. No major problems yet, almost a year later.

It tows like a dream. Yes its heavy and is in the £500 tax bracket, but IMO its worth it for a safe drive. plus the v8 diesel is lovely for pulling power.

at around 32mpg, its not tooo bad, compared to SWMBO's 1.6l bmw getting around 38, its hardly horrendous and is very comfy!
