To make it short..
Preference for four doors and AWD. New. Towing capacity a plus. Off-road capability a plus. More comfortable than a Miata. $40k budget. Kind of all over the board but here are my top four contenders so far:
Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road Premium - $42k
Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road - $37k
Chevrolet Colorado Z71 - $37k
Subaru WRX Limited - $33k
Don't want a Jeep. Not a fan of car based SUVs (CX-5, CRV, etc.). I'd consider the new Ford Bronco but that's 3 years away. Our only vehicle at the moment is a Miata which is driving me mad - I need more space and you feel every damn bump in the road. Miata is paid for so it'd be kept.
