How much gear do you want to carry? People? Animals?

A Suzuki Samurai could fit your most basic needs. Mods are plentiful. I know of one Sami that went 467,000 miles plus/minus that was only retired due to metal fatigue in the frame....and could no longer pass Cal smog.

Your 20 mpg dream...needs evaluation in the face of your other criteria.
