I think it was at the end of 2006 that the Mark1 Sorento had a facelift and they introduced the 168hp engine. I have owned two Sorento's of around that vintage the original with the 138hp engine and its replacement with the 168hp engine. I have mixed views. The 168hp engine was much more powerful compared to the 138hp but the only problem was that the models with the higher rated engines lost the self levelling suspension and I never felt the car was as stable whilst towing. Having said that we towed all over Europe with both cars and had no problems with them. Your van is quite light weight given the towing capacity of both cars so either should tow with ease.
