Default need a 4x4 / tow car

after something that i can use for towing (car on trailer) and also that is quite nice to use as a daily car. Have about £5k to spend. Been looking at the jap 4x4s Pajero and Nissan Patrol etc. Any reccomendations? Also thinking about a 4x4 estate but not sure if they have the pulling power I need?

so you guys reckon defo go for a proper 4x4 rather than a 4x4estate? my main worry with the big 4x4 is daily use, but then the jap ones seem quite nice inside.
