Ford trucks and SUVs are built tough, just what many people need for our region’s driving demands: steep ascents, dirt backroads, and winding highways. At this time of year, our beautiful North Idaho lakes, mountains, and rivers, along with glorious summer weather, seem to invite us out for long drives to explore all the glorious locales of the Inland Northwest. But with gas prices fluctuating so dramatically, it’s no wonder more people are interested in getting the most miles out of every gallon they purchase.

North Idaho is the kind of place where vehicle capability matters. From gravelly forest roads to snowy mountain passes and offroad trails, drivers here need a vehicle that can keep up with every season and every adventure. That’s exactly why the Ford Bronco family has become so popular here.

Summer in North Idaho means it’s time to load up the family, haul boats to the lake, campers to the mountains, and trailers packed with grown-up toys to wherever your weekend adventures take you. Whether you’re towing for work or recreation, however, doing it safely and confidently starts with understanding the basics.

North Idaho is beautiful at every time of year. It’s a landscape filled with forested mountains, pristine rivers and lakes, and recreational sites for everything from fly-fishing to skiing to camping to snowmobiling to hunting. But summertime is especially magical, with warm, clear days in these northern latitudes that last from early morning until long into the evening.

As summer approaches in North Idaho, it’s the perfect time to hit the open road. Whether you’re heading out to explore the mountains, cruise around Lake Coeur d’Alene, spend a few days camping, or to take a longer family vacation, having the right vehicle can make all the difference.
