Ford Flex. Limited. Could pickup used low mileage AWD. Maybe Ecoboost for that $$. We had one, it was awesome. Not an SUV, but who really goes off road anyway? 2nd row captains chairs (heated) with a fridge console in the center. Powerfold push button 2nd and 3rd row. Power tailgate. Panoramic roof. HID/LED lighting. Good on gas for the most part. Ride was super quiet. Very smooth on the highway. High quality interior, impressive underated car IMHO. We had a 2009 and traded it in 2013, great car, got rid of it b/c wife wanted a sports sedan now that both kids are out of carseats and strollers. We drove it 60K trouble free miles.
It was the ultimate road trip car. Plus it looks super cool IMO, like nothing else on the road. Ours was Sterling grey w/ the white roof. They have a newer color called Ginger Ale I think looks sweet on it. All my kids friends loved it, they called it "the toaster car". Class 2 hitch can do light towing.
Typing all that makes me miss that car!
