However, when towing up a long hill with my 2.2 tonne Quantum following, and accelerating past Pajeros, Prados, 'Trols and other 3 litre 4 cylinder bangers, I know who's grinning the most. 
Ah yes but its only a matter of time before your overloaded bling machine, sucks in some dirty fuel and then your up for 12k in repairs, or it gets wet across a (shallow) water crossing and leaves you stranded requiring a new alternator and or starter motor. They maybe the most expensive 4be out their but the 200 is hardly the best.
You should have saved yourself some money and bought a good truck. A 100 series 1FDT-E would still be going years after your bling machine has surrendered.
In addition to that the 200 would depreciate more $$$ than the total cost of a Pajero over 5 years.
If a Pajero ticks the boxes for your needs Sicilianmama than that's the way to go. I have only herd good thing about them. I have used some of the coppers ones (which have been thrashed) and they were much more comfortable with better power than the Nissan Patrols and 1HZ 100 series we were using in the field at the time. The waterways guys also used one to tow their 3t stabicraft over the snowy mountains and it did an admirable job.
Whilst the banter on here is funny you need to settle on the best machine within you budget. Even the supposed king of 4wds the 200 has some major flaws for towing, such as the front and rear max axle loads and the crap load carrying ability. With all the bling fitted they will be over their GVM and illegal unless they have had a GVM upgrade. But they are capable of towing heavy things. However if you really need to tow a heavy van etc you would go the F250 with the powerstroke in it and be done with it, you wouldn't mess around with a nancy little 200.
