ALL of them.
Many people who tow big vans have no issue doing it with a 4 cylinder diesel, doesn't matter the brand (except for maybe the Navara lol). They do the job, but the bigger 6 will always be the better choice when torque is king.

Just remember going back to the 70's and 80's, when towing a couple of tonnes with a Falcon or Kingswood flat out making about 300nm from a straight 6 was the norm.
