Hello all,  
  
 I will soon be giving up my beloved Volvo 240 DL station wagon to purchase a gently used car, truck or SUV. However, I am not sure what will suit my needs best. I’m looking for something that has 4 wheel drive, is rather fuel-efficient (as in, at least 25-28 mpg on the highway) and has some hauling capacity. Any suggestions?  
  
 Thanks so much in advance!

Personally I think you’re asking too much.

The ONLY 4wd/Awd vehicle that comes close to you mpg requirement is the Subaru. But I’m not sure of it’s towing capacity…And it’s NOT 4wd…it’s AWD. I don’t know of any 4wd vehicle that gets over 25mpg. Let me know if you find one.
