Why Montana suits a vehicle that carries its own fuel and its own food locker

Montana is big and thinly settled. NOAA’s climate summary puts the state at 147,138 square miles, the fourth largest in the country, and the 2020 Census counted 1,084,225 residents. The ground runs from 1,800 feet, where the Kootenai River leaves for Idaho, to 12,799 feet on Granite Peak in Park County. Mean elevation is about 3,400 feet, roughly half the figure the same USGS table gives for Colorado and Wyoming, though NOAA notes that half the state still lies higher than 4,000 feet.
