What's the best small tow van?

I am looking for a small van to tow 800kg. What do you suggest?

The Ford Transit Connect will comfortably tow 800kg, when hooked to a braked trailer: vans.honestjohn.co.uk/van-reviews/ford/transit-con.../

As will the Vauxhall Combo: vans.honestjohn.co.uk/van-reviews/vauxhall/combo-2.../

As a rule, for best stability, the trailer shouldn't exceed 85 per cent of the van's kerb weight.
