I have to second earthpig in using a canoe especially if you had a small operation and where looking to go undetected.
Now If I needed a vehicle of some kinda I would look for a Diesel Toyota pick-up truck (Hi-lux to you foreigners) though they are not very common in the U.S.
yota's run forever, they have good engines and transmissions though the bodies often rusted out.
Another good one would be the old International Harvester Scout but with the Nissan diesel engine.
I would run bio diesel in either vehicle. Of course if I had access to military vehicles, I might take one. Unfortunately I am not very well versed in fixing vehicles. So I would probably be in a canoe, or on horseback if my lady freind was nice enough to lend me one of her horses.
otherwise I might end up looking like these guys if I broke down
