Advice for purchase

I'm currently in the market for something under 2k if possible and to use as a daily commuter. Roughly a 14 mile ride one way on paved areas, but if possible would like to do dirt/grass as well.

Open to any advice or to field any helpful questions. Am under the impression I would need something that has racks and whatever else already equipped.

Any favorite brands or promos worth looking into before black friday?
