If rust is not an issue, a Durango with a Hemi may be a decent choice. Around here, I've seen Durangos sell for VERY reasonable prices!!

I liked the Durango we saw on the car lot. My wife did not like it.

Good luck finding what you want. I've gone through some similar mental gymnastics. Unfortunately, the vehicles which serve multiple purposes well are quite expensive to buy and run. (Large SUV's and crew cab pick-up trucks are probably the most versatile vehicles.) On the other hand, having two vehicles, such as an older truck and an economical car often saves very little money. (Count the cost of extra insurance, two vehicles depreciating instead of one, extra maintenance, additional repairs, extra taxes, additional fees, etc.) The math will vary because each person's situation is different.
