Ciudad Juarez - Post Report Question and Answers
What kind of vehicle(s) including electric ones do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, infrastructure, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car or vehicles do you advise not to bring?
I brought a small all-wheel drive SUV. The speed bumps in Juarez are real (and not always well marked) so bring something with some ground clearance and NOT low-profile tires. Bring something comfortable for long road trips. I ended up doing road trips to San Diego, Denver, Santa Fe, Taos, Marfa, Albuquerque, Carlsbad Caverns, Flagstaff, and the Grand Canyon. The roads are wide open and the sun is shining out here. Regarding EVs, some people bring them and get by, but be aware that charging stations in this part of the world are few and far between. - Jan 2026
Any car is ok, but would recommend a car with high clearance due to pot holes, speed bumps, and when it rains it floods the streets. - Jul 2024
