I have two Land Rovers that usually can get me there. For what they cost and what you get a Subaru can't be beat. We paid 21K for my wife's Forester new and it was K's lower priced than most used ones in other brands. Gets 27 mpg at interstate speeds, has one of the best crash protection ratings, one of the most dependable of any car, has one of the highest resale values. The dealer in Edmond had some on the lot that were lifted with bigger tires and rims that looked pretty sharp. If the snows gets real deep it doesn't have the ground clearance but, the Land Rovers do.
Most of those are LP Adventure packages. If it weren't for towing the boat I'd have an LP Adventure Outback. Well, that and the CVT trans. My dream rig would be a fully kitted LP Adventure Outback with an STI engine and a Porsche PDK transmission.
Actually, this would be my dream ride.
