SHTF vehicles

Toyota Land Cruiser. Diesel.

As soon as they start selling AM General HMMWV'S to the general public-that. It's light, has an independent suspension, 4wd, strong front and rear bumpers, winch available, stable due to its width, and plenty of room. Then I would just outfit it from there.

ah that reminds me, the BRDM-2 also has an integrated winch...

What's the BRDM that is 4 wheeled I'm aware it's and older model that the 2.

What is your ideal SHTF vehicle and why?

4WD
Hi-ground clearance
reliable
fuel efficient
fuel capacity
sheltered
roomy

I would think a duramax 4WD suburban ...

 

[TheDan]

It's 4 wheel drive + 4 extra if that makes sense? lol...

I've seen a 4bt powered H1 before but that's about it. One of the Chevy 4500 4x4 chassis would be a bad choice.

Ok yeah that's what I was thinking of didnt realize they had the 4 xtra those for water movement?

No, technically for ditch crossing. Basically you can't high center the thing. Some of the later models didn't have the belly wheels to make space for a side door and extra passenger seat.
