Life doesn’t stop when the temperatures drop and the snow starts to fall. You still need to get to work, go food shopping and if you’re lucky, get out of town for the weekend. The daily driver that does the job in optimal conditions may not be enough when the weather starts to turn and this winter is already looking grim. We’re right at the cusp of another Polar Vortex, which is just a fancy term for Canada sharing its bitter cold winter weather with the US. But since this year’s Snowpacolypse since expected to be a repeat of last year, or even worse, it’s best to prepare now and get your self a vehicle that will see you through it.
1978 Dodge Power Wagon
What we like: A rebuilt V8 sitting above a six-inch suspension lift and four-wheel-drive should be the first thing on any winter survival list. This Power Wagon may have a few minor scratches, but it looks like it takes the title of winter beater seriously.
From the owner: The cost of parts and restoration of these vehicles are increasing daily. They are not making any more and, therefore, they are becoming more rare by the day.
Mileage: 31,000
Location: Denver, Colorado
