My inReach Explorer+ is my go-to for both normal messaging & SOS emergencies when I'm off the grid. Works in the truck. Works when I'm hiking. Works when I'm on a multi-day backpacking trip. It just works, plain and simple. In the four years that I've been using it only once have I had a glitchy GPS coordinate. I've also lent it out to friends to use on their trips multiple times. It's pretty amazing, honestly.
And no one in my circle is a HAM operator so for short-range communication I just use crappy CB in the truck when caravanning on the road & in the backcountry with friends.
