That's been my solution for 10 years. First it was a 1987 1/2 ton gasoline-powered Suburban, now it's a 1984 3/4 ton diesel. I bought the '84 in '05 (IIRC) for $17.90 with 319,000 miles on it, and it has 329,000 on it now. I use it for towing, and a couple times for getting to work when our road/parking lot has been under 6" of water. Mostly it sits, waiting for the apocalypse. It's just a big, brutish mountain of steel that I don't feel bad about beating up and will go anywhere.... albeit slowly. Naturally aspirated 6.5l diesels aren't quick.
