Default Help selecting a Daily Driver/Tow Vehicle

Well, it's time to replace one of the Computerworks' service vans (180k minivan).

This may be an opportunity to get a bigger vehicle that could be used to also pull an enclosed trailer (24' min) on weekends.

How about some suggestions?
Will be looking at pre-owned vehicles and I am thinking uber-SUV, like an Excursion or GMC.

I would like to hear why a diesel is better for towing.

Can a diesel be used practically around town for deliveries, etc.?

If I do go Ford.. what engine is the best choice, from your experience?

A pickup is out of the question, since it will be carrying equipment, etc., during the week. (..plus, I am a city boy... I didn't see my first pick-up until I was 13 years old).

Any and all suggestions from experience are welcomed. Thanks.
