Looking for a used SUV

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer that I use to pull my 17' Alumacraft with a 70 HP motor. I used to pull the boat with a front whell drive van, but after almost getting stuck at a couple of ramps I decided I wanted a 4 wheel drive. My Ford has a V8, which pulls the boat great. My complaint is that I've owned the SUV since 2004 and it has been a real lemon. I figure that I have averaged about $150/mo to do repairs since I've bought this vehicle and I'm sure it will just get worse. I would like to replace it with an SUV that is anywhere from 2-5 years old. I want something with 4 wheel drive. I figure that I pull about 2,000 lbs with boat, motor, gas and gear (does this sound about right?). I would like something that can pull 3,000 lbs, so I'm not pushing an engine to pull more than it should. What would you suggest for an SUV that would do this and be reliable? I figure that I could go as high as about $25,000.
