Sue I know you've owned Land Rovers before, how about a supercharged Range Rover Sport? Supercharged V8 power (390hp/410lb-ft), tows in excess of 7700 lbs., easily lowered, nice interior. Downside is reliability is probably similar to Jeep and you're not likely to have a dealership close by. Looks like you could stay under $30K as long as you go back to 08/09 timeframe.
