I would get a Toyota or Nissan 4x4 pickup. Something you can cruise down back country roads and trails and explore areas you have likely never been. It would also be handy in the winter when the roads get slick. Maybe not as cool as a Jeep, but much more functional.
To keep it under $10k, you will likely have to get something from the 2000's or earlier, but a Toyota or Nissan from that era would be reliable if it doesn't have too many miles and was maintained. Also try to find a truck from the south so that you don't have to worry about rust.
I got my first 4x4 in college around 1986; a GMC Jimmy S15. I have had a 4x4 truck ever since.
