My 2006 Courier won't get up to 110km/h
The piece of the puzzle you've left out here is whether your Courier has a petrol or diesel engine. If it's the former, you could simply be looking at a worn out engine. These four-cylinders worked pretty hard and once they become worn, they start to blow smoke and lose power. That said, it could be something as simple as a blocked air filter element or a slack fuel pump.
If the vehicle has a diesel engine, there's a chance the intake system is choked up with black soot and oil fumes which eventually narrow the engine's breathing passages like cholesterol blocks a person's blood vessels. Suddenly, the air can't get into the engine properly and the engine loses power as a result. Again, though, it could be something completely different and apparently random such as the turbocharger's plumbing having fallen off, leaving the engine with no boost.
A word of warning, though, about driving a diesel Courier flat out everywhere. These engines were under-cooled and are notorious for overheating. Driving it with the throttle pedal on the floor is asking for problems.

What's the most reliable 4x4 diesel ute?
Buying a car sight unseen is not a good idea. I would go for on of the big three: HiLux, Triton, or Courier. They are all much of a muchness when you get to the used car market. The important things are service history, odo reading, and previous use.

Is a two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive ute better for towing?
Unless you need a vehicle capable of driving over rough or slippery ground, I would buy a 2WD diesel ute. It will be more economical than a 4WD and will tow your trailer without problems. Your budget will get you an upmarket ute. Look at the Toyota Hilux or new Mitsubishi Triton. Also, there are good deals available on the Mazda Bravo and Ford Courier for much less. For little more than $20,000 you'll get a 2WD diesel with a tray and toolbox.
