I'm trying to figure out what I need in the driveway to best support my transportation needs over the next 10 years. When considering a vehicle for a SHTF situation, what are the criteria you all use? Durability, range, off road capability, the ability to push through a road block, carrying capacity and the ability to blend in are all possibilities.
Right now, I'm thinking I need something that is simple, yet durable but that gets good mpg. To me, the S may HTF in a variety of ways. Sure, there might be a zombie apocalypse but I think a decline into third world conditions is probably more likely. Right now, I'm thinking about an early Jeep Cherokee Classic (90s era) but have also considered an M37, 4 door Wrangler and M1009. None really fits the need to be economical though.
So, what does everyone think is most important to them when they are looking for a SHTF vehicle?
