I like the BMW, but the Polo looks like something the Messrs Clarkson, Hammond and May would come up with!!  :o

How about this? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/search/used/cars/ford/f350/postcode/bl81xw/radius/1500/quicksearch/true
I found it trawling through Autotrader yesterday, you should remain inconspicuous driving it! You'll become good friends at your local petrol station!  ;D

I tried to find some fuel consumption figures for it, but have found any yet.  ;D 6.4 litre diseasals aren't bought for economy though.  ;D ;D ;D

Should be OK for caravan duties ..... http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/Spec_engines.aspx?year=2012&make=Ford&model=F-450+Super+Duty&trimid=-1
'standard towing' = 17500lbs (7.8 tons  :o)
'Max towing' = 24400lbs (nearly 11 tons)

Have you seen the size of the trailers they tow with those things over in the US? Over here you'd need an HGV license! (I'm not jealous, honest ;D)

Still.. 24000lb? Pah! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S70oTnsucU
