You could also mod any wind brick so it gets better fuel mileage (boat tail).

I also like the Ford Maverick, even if it isn't proven to be reliable yet.

High ground clearance (assuming).
Lots of cargo space (maybe add a camper shell if needed).
$20,000.
And gets 40mpg.

Sounds like a winner to me, except that $20,000 is right at the limit of the budget and it may be cramped inside for 4 adults. (I'd have to check the specs to be sure.)
