You can look at whatever your local police department, especially those of more sprawling cities and with a semirural mix, are driving as the Vics all wear out. Weed out the SmartCar and Urban Tank extreme experiments, and you're left with...
My Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is body on frame, front engine, rear wheel drive (unless I put it in four wheel drive).
Since it is an '05, it is a 4.0L inline 6. That works for me.
You'll definitely need to look at older vehicles. Body on frame has largely disappeared from all but vehicles with large towing or offroad capabilities, presumably because in most cases it severely reduces crash safety, and also has negative effects on ride quality and handling.
Neither of those are body-on-frame, which was the OP's main concern. There are... dozens of mid- to large sedans that fit all the other characteristics.
