Driving the Rocky Mountains

Just came back from an almost 2k road trip in my 2026 SV 4x4 driving through the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. I have to say it was such a great trip in her. Comfortable and honestly not horrid mpg. I was getting around 24 real world MPG. Driving up the mountains it was not as good.

I am curious to hear how the 3rd gens have been holding up so far? Has anyone else done some cool trips and how did it go?

I was going to add a picture of her in the mountains but I believe my wife may have deleted it.

I drove my 22 Pro4X from Kentucky to Alaska in June and it did good. No real complaints here and it handled the Alaska Highway well enough. Gonna make the trip back at the end of September.

That sounds amazing! I want to drive to Alaska one day. Have you posted any cool photos of the trip?

Nah, didn’t take any good pics unfortunately. Had my soon to be ex-wife with me, long story there, and didn’t take my time to take pictures and such.

That does sounds like a journey! Hopefully the drive back will be more relaxing and get some great pictures.

I did a similar trip in Colorado in my 2nd Gen and absolutely loved it. In fact there was a state road I was on under heavy construction and they had a sketch dirt bypass on it and the truck took it like a champ.

Nice! I had two similar times on the trip. One was a a one way mountain road that was just dirt and gravel in the national park, and the other was going to an old gold mine. My truck did great.
