Why not  just get a GM small van and save money and work?  Safari's Astros
and the like, they can tow.   some have awd. They last and are  cheap and

and have a developing Cult following.  Getcha a 'Murikan "Syncro Westie"
with a proven 6cylinder dependable drive line for a few $K....

The man I bought my van from did this. The AWD iteration, sent it to Canada
to have the "camping interior" built (he and his wife are dermatologists so have
$$$). They take the camping gear out in the winter and use it for skiing, all eqp.
and people. They get 5 people in it that way. Rocket box and rack on top.
Suits them.
