I may be biased, but JKU. Not that it's the most reliable, but the sheer massive number of them that are out there means parts will be available to find or scavenge as needed. And they're not too difficult to work on.

After years of chasing this conundrum
I’ve tried 7.3 Super Duties, 5.9 Dodge Cummins, 4.0 Jeep, 3.8 jeep, Ect. I’d say something made by Toyota is your best bet, NOT that Toyota is the most capable or most HP / TQ, or longest range. But its probably the most likely to NOT give you problems especially when parts would be hard to come by |

If it is a gas hog then it is BS.
Fuel will be in super tight supply and most likely regulated (i.e., taken over by govt.) so, IMHO, it has to be fuel efficient as can be. A 4WD with out gas is really quite useless. |

Modern ethanol-gasoline will either be used up very quickly or degrade to the point it is unusable. It doesn't store very well. Those of us who have experience fighting this fight with boat engines know what I'm talking about. So the first hurdle to get over would be choosing something that would either use a renewable fuel source, or something that uses a fuel you can somehow produce on your own.
If not then what you'll be left with is a very large, stationary target. edit : I was assuming we were talking about a complete collapse of society , WOROL ? If we're simply talking about a short supply type scenario (like some South American countries?) then buy a damn Corrola or Prius and call it good. |

Echo the gasoline capacity comment.
I'm a jeep guy. My lament is the gas tank. If it's a mass event and you're bugging out, you need to be able to get beyond standard gas tank range (think a 300 mile radius) of any major urban area quickly without gas stations. If you're on the east coast, you're probably fucked. |

I think the answer is a CTL with a trailer.
Tracks, can lift/dig/pull, somewhat armored, easy on diesel. Slow, but not much will stop you.  |

Side by side. Very very capable in almost any terrain, no electronics to track you like new cars, and depending on what you get they’re usually pretty damn reliable.
Oh and you can throw tracks on them if you really want to.

I always thought a ambulance would be a good vehicle for this, definitely over looked. has a nice boxed in area plenty of hp to convert into a vehicle you can traverse in its a dually so if you flatten the front you can change it out with a rear temporarily.
other good options are ford rape vans or a tacoma |

I’d vote something diesel that can be ran with multi fuels is reliable but new enough parts are readily available. I’d say Super Duty or Excursion with a 7.3 reliable work horse but things that typically will cause issue are easy to access and work on.

Maybe some sort of electric dirt bike and a little solar panel farm to charge the battery?

I’ve always thought this or a diesel Land Cruiser. 7.3’s are tank engines, don’t produce enough power to break things, develop more than enough power if your not pulling a fully loaded trailer up a mountain pass, and run forever. |
