A Subie will get you most places a nonlifted Silverado will, and get 25 MPG reliably. Very few things will go wrong before 100K if that soon.
I recommend a Forester over an Outback for the headroom; a WRX is good for accelerating quickly and cornering on a flat surface.
Not ALL Subie owners are braindead libs, some of us just like the utility of a Subaru.
Have we mentioned a Subaru yet?
I think this is what you are looking for. Great gas mileage and looks like a 4x4..

Especially Foresters :p
(but in all seriousness, Subies are really good cars ... its the one thing Liberals are right about ... you know, a broken clock being right twice a day and all)
In all seriousness. My wife has a 2011 Highlander -- and I fricking love that car. Drives great. SUPER comfortable. Great on gas. I have told her a couple of times that I'd trade my truck for her Highlander.
Chrysler/Dodge Minivan. The only downside is lack of ground clearance. Means you have to ride or walk the bike a bit farther.
When your kids are older with friends with bikes and your hauling more crap the van is really nice.
Subie, I love my 2012 outback, 41k on it now and still the smoothest riding car I've ever own, avg's 26's to 28's MPG. 9inch clearance is a big plus coming from ranges / fields
