@6.7 CTD I too agree. I did a 3000km round trip from the prairies to the coast. I aired the tires down and it road as good as a 1 ton could. But, the power, relative fuel economy for a large truck and very roomy. That thing with its power and exhaust brake was an absolute beast through the rockies. Albeit, it sucked in large cities....
Best road trip vehicle?

And ESP 0W-30 to boot.
A used BMW X5 diesel. 25+ MPG on the open road, AWD, decent handling, fair amount of cargo space.
Just normal AWD and enough clearance for stuff like ruts in dirt Forest Service roads. I have a 4x4 if I really need to go off-road.
I've driven from NY to FL multiple times in a 2020 and 2022 Explorer 2.3. It was great.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around traveling with other people.
