I have an older Jeep Cherokee. If I had the financial resources I'd give it a small lift and much better, slightly larger tires, a winch and water / gas carriers on the rear. Inside I always have 2-5 gallons of water, blankets, some tools, rope, trioxane / trioxane stove, medium sized PSK (I had a good BOB in it, but it got broken into and...), gloves, fleece jacket, a couple tarps, a few power bars, extra stuff for the dogs (leashes, tie outs, collars, bowels) and other misc. stuff.
