I always read it as “apocalypse proof” rather than “apocalypse-proof”. That is, it’s proof that the apocalypse has happened, rather than something that’s immune to the apocalypse.
An old bug, properly modified with bigger tires and fiberglass parts would absolutely run circles around this (and most other) vehicles in the sand. A stock bug with tiny tires…not so much.
That’s why baja bugs and dune buggies were so popular.
There’s plenty of evidence that it isn’t “apocalypse-proof” in myriad other ways. I saw a post in which one got sideswiped by a Prius and it had to be towed away because the driver’s side mirror was damaged. I seriously wonder when the other shoe will drop and we find out the Boer is intentionally burning it all down.
Not much of an apocalypse-proof truck if you have to be taught how to not get it stuck in sand.

I bet an air-cooled Beetle would do just fine.
