Default Need help choosing a vehicle

Just after your thoughts really, I need a vehicle for towing (max weight around 1450kg's) but I dont want something really crap / slow / boring as I will probably use it sometimes in the week as well.

Any suggestions, fuel economy is not of any importance.

Cheers in advance!

Oh and budget wise from £0.00 to £15k.
