I use a Nissan Navara, which uses much of the same mechanicals that the X Trail does. It is plenty powerful enough and the gross weight is ideal for me towing a CRX and all the accoutrements around.
Why not go for a Navara? Well equipped and fast becoming cheap, four seats and a big load area that won't get messed up easily?
Having said that, the earlier Honda CRV uses the B20 Honda engine, one of the most reliable units Honda produced (and much sought after by Civic/ CRX tuners). The CRV is maybe a little light, but then I am slightly biased towards Hondas...
PS: Don't buy a Shogun Sport!
