Most Common Bugout Vehicles

         Although the above image is one that many people imagine as an ideal bugout vehicle, this is for a minority of individuals with the financial resources and knowledge to purchase and maintain such a beastly mode of transportation. 

         Chances are you are like me, among the countless majority of preppers and survivalists that don't have the funds and/or the space for such bugout vehicle, so you are more likely to either already have or would like one of the following vehicles. I assembled this list of vehicles from taking pulls in a couple of chat rooms, as well as reviewing many of the images and blogs created by other preppers. I would be interested to recieve a vote from my readers on which of the following vehicles they feel would be the best prepping/bugout vehicle. let me know, and I will post the winning vehicle by Thanksgiving.

Ford Bronco

       The Ford Bronco is one of the more common vehicles I found that is used by not only preppers, but also hunters. It has the power and size to tow and transport supplies and preps, and can endure some harsh environments.

Toyota Land Cruiser

       The Toyota Land Cruiser, may be the most popular bugout vehicle I came across in all of my research. They are notorious for being not just powerful, but reliable. They are commonly found among preppers around the world, not just in the U.S.A.

Chevy Blazer

        The Chevy Blazer, is a common favorite among prepper families, as they usually come with plenty of room to transport a family of five, fairly comfortably. They are also among the most common bugout type SUV I find for sale.

Jeep Cherokee

        The Jeep Cherokee is probably the easiest to find bugout vehicle, at least in Utah, as I can find them for sale all the time, but they are also selling fast! They may be among the cheapest to buy and maintain, as you can run them into the ground, then build them back up again.

Trucks

        The reason that I do not specify any particular make or model of truck, is because I was never really able to find any one that was bragged about more than another for prepping reasons. It usually came down to the ever popular brand wars between Ford, Chevy, Dodge, and Toyota, but no real argument for bugging out.  It really seems to come down to preppers who prize SUV's or Pickups. 

         Trucks are good bugout vehicles for the obvious reason that they can be loaded and transport large and awkwardly shaped loads. They are also able to have campers already packed that can just be slid into them the moment you need to bugout, leaving it free for day to day use.

So, now that you have seen the list of common bugout vehicles, send me your vote on which one you think would make the best one:

Ford Bronco

Toyota Land Cruiser

Chevy Blazer

Jeep Cherokee

Pickup Trucks

Stay prepared, stay safe!
