From what you describe id say a Shogun commercial...its bigger inside than most small vans, tows 3.5 easily and will still go PROPERLY off road..the closest i can imagine to what you describe. 

Don't think it's made anymore. Can only see the Shogun Sport and the L200 on the Mitsubishi website.

I'm not interested in trundling up hills at walking pace - it's the 21st century man! The aforementioned 25% hill reduces me to second gear and 20mph when towing the forwarder and that has 160bhp

Do yourself a favour J, go for a spin in a yank diesel , Dodge Ram with a Cummins or Ford and Gm with the V8 diesel. Its a different world.

I would love to, but they are massive for the lanes here. I just lost my first wing mirror (just the glass admittedly) on my Sprinter last week. The only thing that is size appropriate for Devon lanes is a medium sized horse.

I think Land cruiser do a commercial version for the UK market again

Still an adapted SUV rather than van, plus only tows 3000kg. 

 

Why are there so few 4x4 vans? They are brilliant!

Mirror tip to mirror tip the Dodge Ram is about 400mm narrower than a Transit , they just look big. My choice would be the  swb 4x4 Ram, if anything like the old chev I had you wouldnt notice there was a 3.5ton trailer on the back of it.

 

I would go with the Auz rhd version.
