Not a diesel version available in the states but the Toyota 4Runner would be my first pick for a SUV to tow. These are the only SUV's to be built on a truck frame and not a car unibody (as with all the others, including the Jeep).
Except for the various versions of the Chevy Tahoe, Chevy Suburban, Ford Expedition, Infinity QX56 (QX80 2014), and Jeep Wrangler.
