The Jeep Commanders looks to fit within your budget pretty easily. The interiors look a bit bigger and more upmarket than the Liberty, and you can get it with a V8.
*note: I know nothing about the reliability of these.

I would stick with a Ford or Chevy Truck/SUV. Parts are cheaper than the BMW stuff (I'm assuming). The Fords have a fully boxed frame but the GMs have the 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 family of engines that are great!
The wagon idea is a good one - I had a Crown Vic. It towed my Omni on a Econo-Trailer(brand-name) very well (I was caught doing 90 in VA) with sway control and a load-level hitch.

That would be awesome with a hitch ball on the roof to pull a gooseneck trailer.

My Jeep Liberty works very well with that weight and they are becoming affordable. Have gotten as high as 14 mpg towing .

I wish it were mine. I'm seriously tempted to sell my Impala SS so I can get a wagon to turn into something like that one.

I'm not sure I'd want a tow rig built by M. Night Shamalyan....

I agree with the trailblazer thing, BUT in saab 9-7x guise for WAAAY better style and flair factor.
6 seconds on ebay found buy it now under 15k.

Another vote for a Yukon/Tahoe. Drive decent, look nice, tow very well.

the realtors all buy hummers because if they purchase a car over 6000 lbs they can use it as a business tax write off and it basically pays for itself.

Briefly, like 2004, there was a 3.0L, diesel Grand Cherokee as well.
Actually it was '07 only.

Those are tough to find, but definitely a cool vehicle.

On my way home from picking up a set of craigslisted LSx blazer mounts(this thread might have been a waste) I stopped a dealership with a white 05 Yukon Denali it looks to be pretty well loaded and in good shape for $19995 is it worth it?

an 05? shop around. I dunno the mileage but they don't hold their value all that well.
