Replying to I need a new car

NSG, my beloved outback has developed a severe case of chassis rust and it's time to sell. So, I pose the question to you: what do I replace it with? I mainly use my car for commuting, skiing, towing a 2000 pound trailer, and road trips in the summer. My requirements are decent gas mileage(20+ on the highway), bullet proof reliability, 4x4 or AWD, lots of trunk space, some off-road capability (dirt trails to go biking, camping etc.), and of course it needs to be cool.
cars I've been looking at are another outback, Jeep liberty (too womanly), Cherokee (not reliable), ford explorer (tends to explode)

anyone got some advice? +k for useful advice

Thanks
