Hi Sambo,
We've got horses as well and if you're only talking 1700kg total, then I would have thought that most real 4x4's will do the job easily....even the smaller 4x4s like the Navara/Hilux dual cabs will do.
We've got a 2003 Diesel Navara Dual Cab (rated at around 2800kg) and a 2000 series 2 V8 Landrover Discovery (rated at 3500kg) and they both pull a double horse float with 2 medium sized horses (around 2200kg) very well- particularly the Disco...
My issue is that we are now needing to tow an increased weight and I need a dual cab that can tow like the Disco or better!
If the 4x4 is just a tow vehicle and it's only being used 1-2 times a month, then I'd stick with a petrol V8 because you get a lot of petrol 4x4 for not a lot of money! Our 2000 V8 Disco is not worth much these days and you're right they're pretty thirsty!
Regards......Paul
