Especially for those who can't afford a $30,000 pickup?
>t. Have hatchback with AWD
Vehicle for CivWar2 or SHTF?
literally any truck with offroad tires.
How about a $3,000 pickup
Find me one that isn't a heaping piece of shit made after 1999.
Roads would be clogged with abandonned vehicles that have run out of gas, only answer is a motorcycle preferably one that can go on and off road and has an enlarged fuel tank
You must be a special kind of stupid.
Jap trucks can be good. Buddy's got a 2002 toyota 4runner that's just been giviner for awhile now, but he keeps on top of maintainence and shit. go with a toyota
Japs always have superior cars. Are they just smarter, or is it because US auto unions make everything shit?
>auto unions
I can't speak for Ford or Chrysler, but GM has a huge problem with passionless cheapskates and wannabe Silicon Valley types (Mary Bara) in the higher ups, on top of the usual corporate bullshit. The phrase "GM management" has become a running gag.
t. Heard endless horror stories from a guy who works at GM
Op here. My opinion of unions has been sour ever since I had the displeasure of working with Teamster yahoos at UPS. But that's a discussion for .
IDI Diesel with mechanical fuel injection
I can barely drive out of my city when there's a small accident or construction, I've given up any hope of driving out when things heat up
>Enlarged gas tank
>Off-road and on-road
I think what you're looking for is an Enduro bike
Find something older that isnt computerized like a 12 valve cummins, a gen 1 tacoma or older jap pickup. If youre insisting on american and cheap oldschool rangers and s10s arent bad choices and parts are widely available assuming something goes to shit.
Unironically a dirt bike and light camping/hunting/fishing gear in saddlebags.
hell if you're set on a pickup you could probably keep all that ready to go in the back escape pod style for emergencies.

You've been pricing PUs lately? It would take an act of Trump to bring the prices down that far
Ranger / S-10 or a 250 dirt bike are pretty much the best options possible for shtf. Just depends on if you need cargo capacity or not.
As much as I like my American cars, pic related is a great little truck. Buddy had one with a 4 cylinder in high school, the dumbass didn't have oil in the motor for a couple weeks and it still ran fine, just loud as hell.
This looks like that Brit POS whose on board computer would fry due to overheating in A-Stan stranding the vech and crew in indian country. There are plenty of restored old PUs and VW Bugs
