Replying to Another “what car” thread

I’m doing some research currently because I’m lookin into getting a new vehicle to replace the Prius this fall, I love that car but I took a new job and my commute happens to be 20 miles of the worst maintained freeway in WI in the winter, im talking not plowed until 10am bad. So I’m looking for a more burly and heavier awd or 4wd vehicle with okay gas mileage. I really want a Land Cruiser but the impossibly to find a low mileage one for less than 30k and also the 15 mpg is a turn off. If somebody found a cool JDM rig I would bite at that too

I’m looking at Toyota Rav4’s, highlanders, Honda Element, Pilot, Honda Crosstour, one of those Mazda SUV’s, or a Volvo xc90 or xc70. Subaru isn’t off the table but I have a strong preference toward Honda and Toyota just because of the bulletproof reputation

Tryna keep my price range under 20k but 25k is probably my max

looking ideally for used with under 120k miles, but a new vehicle isn’t off the table if there’s a good deal

what vehicle is best? I got a pretty good list but need more opinions to fine tune what suits my needs best

oh I would consider like an older Tacoma or tundra but I would rather have an suv for easy camping
