OK, so maybe not a Hummer. But what about something like an F-150 or similar. Something that can go off road, and be sturdy enough to handle running over a hoarde of zombies.

It just seems odd that this group hasn't stockpiled any and all supplies they can get their hands on. Between vehicles, dry goods, and weapons they aren't ready for much. Also, they have already noted that they have 50 head of cattle; so they may as well be ringing the dinner bell. Well, why haven't they moved the cows into the barn?

Don't get me wrong, I love the show. But instead of having the secondary characters doing nothing, how about they take care of these small details?
The more supplies and stuff they collect, the less mobile they become. Now they've got to use semi truck full of stuff and what happens when they hit a traffic snarl like where Sophia ran off. Or else they're frequently refuelling. I think their current small, mobile convoy of vehicles is pretty good.

A Hummer might be okay, but its pros don't really outweight its cons. There are vehicles that have more seating, more cargo room, etc. Maybe they should find a dealership and grab all of the Odysseys and Siennas they can.
