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?
To question your government is not unpatriotic — to not question your government is unpatriotic.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.
But, it's for the children!
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?
-- Ayn Rand, Anthem (Chapter 11)
I think this is what you are looking for. Great gas mileage and looks like a 4x4..

Especially Foresters
(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)
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

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.
I like sex, drugs and automatic weapons. That's why i'm a dues paying member of the Libertarian party. Struggling to keep the government away from messing with the above.
My Wife has her own vice.

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
