What's a good small SUV for tall driver?

I am considering a small SUV and need something with leg and foot room. Being 6'3" tall with size 15 feet these are real issues. I have modified seat mounts to get needed leg room but I can't do much to gain room formy big feet, especially when wearing winter boots. I have driven a Toyota RAV-4 and the driver's ergonomics were too tight for me. Would a Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Nissan Xterra be a better choice? Maybe something from another manufacturer? Chrysler minivans have served my purposes quite well but something with more ground clearance would be better. My needs include comfort, fuel economy, traction in snow and mud, clearance, cargo space and able to tow a lightweight boat or snowmobile trailer.

    There aren't a lot of good options. The CR-V or Chevy Equinox are probably the best. I'm 6'3 too and have sat in both, they are okay, but not as good as the Honda Accord sedan. The Jeep Cherokee is good too. Just have to try them out. You are not obligated to buy an suv just because you sat in it on a lot.

    With that list of requirements, I'd suggest you look at larger SUVs.
