A diesel saloon or estate 1,9 or 2.0 litre will tow your van, why go to the expense of getting a fuel guzzler if funds are short,Skoda Octavia , Superb or even a Mondeo or any of the other VW group vehicles, will tow your van

Before considering a Shogun, have a good drive in one.
I was considering a Shogun Sport to replace my old Nissan Patrol.
Saw one I liked, went to view it, took the test drive, thought it was 'orrible !!
They roll about and wallow like a sick pig, so really went off them.

This may surprise you and everyone, what about a black cab, fareway or TX1 both with the bulet proof Nissan engine.
due to the stupid 15 year are limit, there are loads coming onto he market, fit an extra seat in the front, and a tow bar and you would have a big storage area in the back, it would tow a much larger van as well, and be a talking point at your shows.
Don't forget these cabs have been well cared for and stripped and rebuilt almost every year for the London taxi inspection, auto and manual available

first check weather the model you are looking at has a chain and not a belt if its chain and i think it is its designed to last the lifetime of the engine
if you choose a car that needs a cam belt change, consider this by reducing the purchase price.
Belt change prices can varey a lot but expect to pay APP £600 + at main dealer for the c8, or app £420 at none mail dealer,
This price will include fitting of a new water pump.

If you do decide to go with the Shogun, do you have a mechanically knowledgeable friend to go with you?
This petrol V6 model is prone to cylinder head problems which can be a bit iffy.
