Is the Kia Sorrento really a good tow car?

We are looking for a new tow car and find the new Kia Sorrento 2013 very appealing.

Is this car as good as what the stats say? I've never driven with an Auto gear box before let alone towed with one, would anyone recommend towing with auto or stick to manual and how economical is it when towing in reality ? Any advise greatly excepted...
