Truck, truck, or you could go with a truck. Topper for the dog, plus adds tons of cargo space since they lock. Used F150 woulld be good. Used Toyota would be great, but they hold their value so well, you will spend more. I've got a 2012 Tacoma 4x4 deluxe cab with a matching topper, and it does all the stuff you are talking about plus it's cool cuz it's a truck.

I like the Toyota Tundra, but don't they get crappy gas mileage?

I have a Mazda CX-5.

Decent space, has models with AWD and can get 30 mpg on the highway. Mazda makes pretty solid cars and aren't too expensive.

CX-5 is very nice. Oh, BTW the Equinox has the highest safety ratings in the class (tied with CRV) as well as J.D. Powers #1 in initial quality.....just sayin'.

Just watched a video on the 2018 Chevy Equinox. Looks good. Very tough segment.
