What can we replace our CR-V with for towing a caravan?

I currently own a Honda CR-V 2.0 ES automatic on an 02 plate. We would like to buy a caravan, but would like something more economical and better for towing. We love the CR-V but I don't think its the best for towing.

An X-Trail 2.2 diesel is a better shed tugger but has what psychologists call "issues". See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/nissan/x-trail-2001/

Low-down pull from refined chain cam engines. Walk-through cabin on CVT auto models. Large boot can be increased by sliding the rear seats forward. Lasting very well.
Excellent drive on tarmac and very competent off road, large boot, plenty of standard equipment.
