Default new tow car ideas?

I'm between cars right now after selling my 2008 SY AWD ghia
that was a POS but it was cheap and did the job

The wife has a 2005 VZ LX8 adventra, tows great but have just killed the auto again luckily under warranty so not looking forward to using this as a tow car again. Once I get it back its going to be for school runs only.

Then I have a BA GT manual and HX holden 202 auto and both are no good for towing and not great for daily driving.

I need to tow my AU racecar which is 1400kg, plus parts/fuel 200kg and trailer is about 500kg so about 2100kg max.

whatever car i get will be a daily (well a few times a week to the office about a 20km round trip) and to the shops and kids sport and so on.

I don't like dual cab utes, I want more ground clearance than a falcon, rwd or 4x4 (no awd) and no diesels and i guess would have to be auto to tow.

The only car I can think of is another Territory, maybe an SZ RWD petrol.

What other cars am I missing that would fill the hole that's around $10-15k?
