Since we have a place in Colorado and will be spending our summers there I'm thinking of buying a 4x4 vehicle to leave there rather than towing our Tahoe from home each year.  I want an suv smaller than our Tahoe that is still flat towable and seats 4 adults.  There are so many 4x4 trails near us that I want something offroad capable with low range and good clearance.  On my short list are Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Commander, Hummer H3, older 4Runner/Lexus GX470, Xterra manual.  Had a couple Liberty's but want something more capable offroad and better driving onroad.  It's an hour to town just for groceries.  I would love a Range Rover or Discovery but concerned about reliability.  
It will be left over the winter where we get 150" of snow so not looking for new.  I do have electricity there so can leave a battery maintainer hooked to it but it will be uncovered.
What are your thoughts?  It'll probably be split 50/50 on and off road.  We're fairly close to Lake City so the Alpine Loop is a good example of the trails we'll be doing with the ability to do more challenging trails a +.
