Need new utility type vehicle

My wife is dropping not so subtle hints about wanting me to replace my pickup.

So I have been looking, and haven't been too terribly impressed with what I have been finding.

So here's what I am looking for.

4000lb+ towing
4+ passengers
20+ city, 25+ highway MPG

I am looking for a new or near new vehicle, budget about $25k give or take. $30k max

Rentals and delivery trucks are out of the question, I'm just too rural, and I am usually one of the ones people come to when they need truck type help, so at least the towing capabilities are pretty much a necessity.

What I am looking at so far are the
Nissan Frontier, Toyta Tacoma (4door or access cab)
Nissan Pathfinder (V6 CVT-> 20/26)

The cars or small crosovers don't seem to be rated for more than 1500lbs towing.

Any other ideas/suggestions?
