First off let's get this out of the way. I know, I'm stupid, that will never work, I don't know what I'm doing, it won't happen that way, I'm doomed.
Now that we have established that I would like some options on which one of these vehicles would be best to prepare to get to a MAG destination. We won't be traveling more than 75 miles. We are stagging some supplies at destination. But we will carry some immediate and long term supplies with us. Everyday I go through different scenarios in my mind on how can we get out of here. There's always a scenario where we can't make it, but more opportunities where we can this is not a big town. I'm confident we can plow our way out. On to our options.
First option. 2000 Toyota 4 runner, not pretty but mechanically sound.
Advantages- 4wd, fair amount of cargo space, doesn't attract attention, dependable
Disadvantages- not great gas mileage ( shouldn't need it ), help me reconize other potential problems
Second option. 1996 Chevy 2500 pu. Not pretty, but mechanically sound.
Advantages- 3/4 ton, I would outfit it with old tool boxes to supplies. Then make it look like a landscape truck to avoid attention. 30 gallon fuel tank.
Disadvantages- single cab, I would feel better having many items within reach.
Would like some thoughts.
