Best choice vehicle for touring the National Parks

Ok, I am reaching out for suggestions. I am 63, and planning retirement activities. On my bucket list is to tour all the National Parks, and some others. I enjoy tent camping, hiking and backpacking. I hunt with a camera. 4wd is not necessary, most of the national park roads are passable. I will use the vehicle to get to the trailhead. I am considering a Subaru Outback (prefer a manual transmission). Good fuel mileage is important - since I live in Kansas, there will be long road trips to reach most of the parks. I prefer to have a passenger capacity of at least 4, and to have a trailer hitch. The trailer will be small, perhaps just enough to haul tents and packs. A car top carrier (Thule or Yakima rack) is also under consideration. So, please, share your thoughts and ideas. Thank you in advance.
