SHTF vehicle

>>31595270
literally any vehicle would get past that in that circumstance

an actual barrier would do something to fuck up the tires and disable the vehicle

if you are really going to go full retard, you want something that can comfortable hop ~5 inch curbs at ~30mph without bending a wheel
and have enough ground clearance+approach/departure angle to get through/over berms and ditches

>>31595381
no, reliability is too much of an issue
having your fancy air suspension go out or some water getting into the electrics is only going to cause problems

vehi/k/les need to be easy to fix, reliable, and off-road capable

Don't know much about the Tacoma, but a couple of the advantages of a Hilux that stand out for me:
Same engine as the Hiace, which is even more abundant in some places
Plenty of them are made of steel, so can be welded on

The border patrol uses Tahoes.

Can carry ample supplies
Good fuel capacity
Decently rugged

An FZJ 80 with a diesel would be a badass kommuter.
Diesel excursion modded appropriately would be high tier as well.

I'm going to give the obvious answer and say just buy a damn wrangler. They're cheap as shit and quite tough, and have the best selection of aftermarket shtf related accessories out of any vehicle ever made. You can argue that other models of vehicle may be better, but you can't argue that none of them are nearly as accessible to poorfags.

Sure, they'll roll over if you sneeze at them, but you can just roll them back over and keep going. They don't get hurt.

Where would you put all your gear? SMART cars have room for 1 skinny nu-male and his manpurse, that's it (no seriously they can't even fit a rolling carry-on).

What happens when your electric-only car runs out of charge? SHTF=no power plants running. No power plants running=no electricity.

What happens if you need to cross a >4" curb, like found on almost every road in everywhere? SMART cars have 3.5" of ground clearance.

Now yes, prior to your hairbrained exaggeration there's some truth to the fact that most vehicles capable of the core tenets of SHTF survival (gear storage, capable of carrying >/=4 armed adults) would fare quite well against pedestrians.

No truck available in America is made of aluminum, even the body panels are steel (although thin) on 100% of them.

Literally what is a Hiace? Those don't exist here. For that matter, nothing that shares an engine with the Hilux exists here, because it's the sole reason the Hilux isn't sold here (doesn't meet emissions standards).

And while yes, the Hilux is a rugged vehicle with a good engine, it has its own drawbacks.
>less cargo capacity than most 4-door sedans
>really really rough transmission
>engine is underpowered if you're needing to accelerate rapidly or tow anything heavy
>extremely small fuel tank (IIRC it's 13 gallons on the EU model, 21 gallons on AUS models) gives it a ~300km range (the 37 gallon fuel tank that's standard on the Chevy/GMC 1500 gives it a 700 mile/1100km range)
>engine isn't fuel efficient (<25km per gallon)
>no room to put a spare or oversized fuel tank (other than the bed, eating even more of the scant cargo room) because the truck's tiny

If it snows where you live, don't. Or if you do, replace the fucking brakes.
I have done unwilling figure eight paralell parks in my neighborhood in the old Danger Ranger before it was rear ended and put out of it's misery.

Yeah, only for the car to immediately call the cops, give them your GPS co-ordinates, the footage of you doing so, and shut off automatically every time you try to start it up.

>No truck available in America is made of aluminum, even the body panels are steel (although thin) on 100% of them
Current gen Ford f-150 uses aluminum for some body parts including the bed. But I think that is the only mid or full sized truck to use aluminum.

I agree the taco is extremely overrated. For a small truck I would take a ranger 4.0 4x4 over it any day.

>>31596917
what are those?

>>31595381
not with low profile alloy rims. that fuckers would snap and the slightest pothole. steel rims are heavier but will only bend under fatigue, not physically break. ever notice every single cab and cop car has steel wheels?

>>31601771
the entire cab and bed are made of alu.but the chassis is steel

>31598806
true dat ^

tldr I have an 2006 Wrangler Rubicon. The last straight six gas engine that will ever be made in a production vehicle.
4 wheel drive with air actuated locking differentials. Transfer case for low speed rock crawling and 4 wheel disc brakes. No jackass abs or tpm bullkrap. I put skid plates on everything from the lower radiator tank to the gas tank. I can drag it over anything and no damage. Its lots of fun.
I drove up carnage canyon at ks rocks. Got airborne.hahahahaha.

>>31601718
I didn't say the transmission was hard to use, just that it was rough and unpleasant to drive with.

Spending thousands of dollars to custom-fab multiple small backup fuel tanks on a truck that's already $7000-10000 overpriced compared to literally every other small truck is dumb AF.

Literally the only reason to buy a Hilux over any of the other small trucks is the 3L diesel engine.

Doesn't matter if you can go anywhere if you can't take anything with you.

You don't have Hiaces in America? We have quite a few modern ones in Europe and in the ME and Africa they use them loads for public transport and you've probably seen them in the ME just from drone footage. We call them Taliban wagons in the UK because of how popular they are with those of the asian persuasion.

>>31602844
And forgot to add that although it will have less storage space than other American trucks, America has much bigger roads than the rest of the world so you're going to be struggling with something much bigger outside of it.

Anon come on.

>>31600597
Yeah I live in Michigan and own one of the 90s Rangers and this is completely true. The only way my ranger is even semi drivable in the snow is by putting bags of fucking gravel into the back of the bed to try and increase traction.

Where are you finding Wranglers cheap, exactly? They hold their value well. Add I read on I see that you believe that they are unusually unstable, which is incorrect, and that they are not damaged by rollovers, which is highly situational.

You clearly have no idea about the subject. Good day, sir.

If your vehicle cannot do this, it cannot be considered useful for SHTF scenarios and you should consider leaving /k/. In a SHTF scenario, you will not want to be below such as pic related or people will literally kill you for your breast pumps (source: me, I have a gf). You have to have a vehicle that can handle all skies including above your fellow man.
