If you ignore fuel efficiency, my favorite tow vehicle so far has been the loaner F-150 I had (black XLT) with the 3.5 EcoBoost and 10-speed automatic. Thing was a friggin' freight train at any speed. It got about 3 MPG while boostiboi'ing its way across Afton Mountain but it felt effortless while doing so.
