Whether you're looking for a winter bug-out vehicle or simply a tough off-road rig for the colder months, most of us don't want to spend big bucks on a winter vehicle. After all, many winter vehicles break down or fall victim to rust after a few seasons. So, if you don't have a lot of money to spend, but you still need to take on some rough terrain, what kind of car or truck should you buy?

The guys at Bangshift put together a useful list of winter off-road vehicles to choose from. They're affordable, durable, and they'll get you through the snow, ice, and mud this season. Here are some of our favorites from the list:

• Dodge Ram (1994-2001) – large size, strong axles, and a wide array of engines
• Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ (1993-1998) – affordable, and “can take a punishment like no other”
• Ford Explorer (1991-1994) – very affordable, and reliable with the 4.0L V6
