Can only speak from experience, I loved my older Jeep Wrangler, despite the consumer reports I've read I had almost zero maintenance and drove it into the ground and it handles all weather and was fun to drive. I know it's a love/hate vehicle.... The drawback for me was the highway noise.
Have a Ford Explorer now and that's been a workhorse and very dependable in bad weather but as mentioned above, hard on gas and it has involved a little more maintenance.
I am thinking of trying one of the new model Honda Pilots for my next troop carrier.
