If you were in Europe, I'd tell you to get a VW Transporter T4 2.5 TDI 75kw (in US it was called "Eurovan" and had a V6 in it). Nice and high off the ground, can handle dirt roads reasonably well, 30mpg with a normal driver. Cruiseing at 50km/hr is 1100rpm. I've heard of them hitting 140 km/hr. (90mph)
If you need good acceleration, downshift and acceleration is quite good. Up to nine passengers, with an option of having the back door open up or with double doors. If you remove the rear seats, you'd have an equivalent of a pickup with a top. Please beware that I am talking about the shorter version with no high top. A high top and long body raises fuel consumption.
