Comfort is key.  You are going to be sitting there for 12+ hours a day.  Whatever has a driving position for you that does not leave you with weird cramps or twinge.

A late 60s/early 70s Ford is perfect for my structure, others find it maddening.  Sort of a semi upright fetal position with the steering wheel in your lap.

Trips over 2000 miles? Suburban. 

Hands down the best way to eat up the miles. 

Agreed.  Long wheelbase, body on frame, V8 with OD make for easy long days behind the wheel.

Under the heading of "I never travel with more than I need" I have found the frs to be the perfect mile eater.

These are surprisingly good for longer trips too. Fantastic seats, adequate power, great mpg, reasonably quiet...

 

Another one of my favorites was my first Supra. Basically any Supra with a quiet exhaust (think, stock or one of the quieter HKS variants) and a decent stereo makes for a phenomenal road tripper. I've put tens of thousands of miles on Supras over the years, between the Mk2, Mk3's, and Mk4 over the years, and when they're well sorted (or just "boring" stock) they're great for eating up the miles or chasing down some back roads.
