          I don't know much, but the CRV might be a better candidate for that sort of thing. Much lighter and gets more MPG's while still doing the same things in your list.

                Ask this same question about an X5 on the Civic forums and see what happens.

                  Mini van would be far cheaper and fill all these rolls as well. Hell thats essentially what a Pilot is, A 4runner is what you want in a mid sized SUV. Similar size, and fuel economy, RWD, far better set up for "hauling stuff" with a body on frame construction, if your not willing to go full size or buy a truck with a bed then ................... yeah

                    How about a Honda Element? 74.6ft³ vs 83.9ft³ for cargo space but it's cheaper and better MPG. Ticks off all you choices. Also a great vehicle to do some camping in.

                        My Civic lost it's trans a few years back. It's a 2002. The rebuild shop said that they were seeing tons of them. There was a filter screen installed in the transmission that gets junk caught in it. Eventually so much crud gets built up that the fluid flow gets restricted. It's only a matter of time after that. The new parts are updated and don't have the screen. Go figure.
