I need to be able to tow a 4 ton armored vehicle with the appropriate trailer using a 4x4 SUV. Looking for a used vehicle, between the years 2000 to 2005. Gasoline engine. Looking for Brand / Model suggestions. Towing capacity suggestions. Engine size suggestions. MPG is not a concern. Will shop for vehicle once I know what to look for.
Thanks in advance.

If it has to be an SUV I think your only option is a Ford Excursion. Although I think these max out at 11,000 pounds tow capacity when optioned properly. Look for the 6.8L V-10 gas engine. Avoid the 6.0L diesel.
With an 8,000-pound towed vehicle you'll want to find a 14,000-pound trailer. One of these will weigh about 3,500 pounds. So you need a rig that can haul 11,500 minimum. You are in the 3/4- to 1-ton vehicle market. You might need to consider a crew cab pickup.
