Are there currently any new make/model ‘ham friendly' vehicles that would be
appropriate to install amateur radio equipment such as VHF/UHF mobile rigs?
I've never had RFI issue with VHF/UHF gear in any car that I've owned. Max
power I've run was 50W.
I currently drive a 2006 Volvo XC70 wagon with 457,000 miles
The Volvo S80 that I sold in 2006 was very ham-friendly. No RFI issues, and
relatively quiet.
As others have noted, power for HF gear

Typical police/ambulance radios ran 110w MOT stuff. Some commercial ran
25-50w with smaller footprint sized radios. Nearly all is either high-band

Yes, but in those days, there was a lot less electronics in vehicles to
generate noise, and VHF/UHF is VERY different based on wavelength. What we got
away with 30 years ago for VHF/UHF is bad practice for HF today. I agree
completely with all of N8SBE's advice.
