After an XC90, please advise

[Marty Pants]

H all,

I am looking to tow a horse trailer so have been looking at the XC90's. I also looked at the Tourareg and X5 but after hearing horror stories of how expensive the running costs and repair costs are started looking at other options. My budget is 5-8k. I am new to Volvo.

Does anyone have experience in running the 2.4D5 and 2.9T6? I would prefer the petrol ideally, but not if the economy is shocking. Are the engines reliable for high milers?

Any advice welcome, thanks Martin.
