If we are going fictional then I will take a BOLO. From wikipedia , "Early models were simply superheavy tanks controlled by programming intended to reduce the need for a human crew through automation. However, as the programming increased in complexity, Bolos became more effective at mimicking intelligence, and in later models were self-aware, controlled by artificial intelligences. According to Laumer's alternate history, the first Bolo was developed in the year 2000 by the fictional Bolo Division of General Motors".

Real world: Some type of diesel pickup. Medium armor (still need speed
), ability to run on different grades of fuel (biodiesel, veggie oil, etc) and a good stereo system.
Enough room to store some weapons and food. Maybe a small trailer to bring along more ammo and a dirt bike for scouting.
