BigAWB, it really all depends on what you are going to do with the vehicle once you are parked. We wanted a lighter tow vehicle that is versatile. The Honda CR-V seats five, weights about 3,500 lbs., has plenty of storage and even more with the rear seats down. It gets great fuel economy 22 city, 30 hwy with the AWD version (if I remember correctly).
This is our second CR-V as we traded the '07 for the '13. I really like Honda's Nav system compared to the other cars we have with Nav, it's very easy to use and works well.
A lot of people tow Jeep Wranglers but we didn't really need true off-road capabilities as I have no interest in that.
Good luck on your search.
