Jeep Wrangler. Hands down it's the most fun and most useful option around.
Surely that depends what you want to do with it? For running into town for dinner or groceries, or for longer day trips on the highway, a Jeep Wrangler is hardly what I would consider ideal. For exploring back roads or off-roading, on the other hand, it's pretty hard to beat.
It's also (one of) the easiest to tow, 4 down.
No key in "run" position because the steering doesn't lock (on most newer models, afaik).
Choose from multiple base plates or special add on front bumpers with built in "knuckles" to connect to the tow bar/vehicle.
Blue Ox makes a wiring harness with a battery charger to keep the Wrangler battery up, so no run the engine every few hours or pull fuses.
No "run engine every few thousand miles or few hours to "mix the fluids".
It's pretty much plug and play, transmission in gear "D", transfer case in neutral "N", and off you go.
I think they (can) look good, and they aren't that uncomfortable to drive for long periods of time. Ours is shiny and new, and it does groceries as easily as it does off roading. Can't say that about most toweds, not even the AWD ones. It's the original mass produced 4X4.
IMHO, of course. :C
EDIT: I will add/admit, it doesn't get the best fuel economy, so if that's important, consider that, too. Ours averages around 18-20 mpg overall. They're heavy, too.
