Why Wyoming suits a vehicle that can look after itself

Wyoming is high, dry and close to empty. U.S. Geological Survey figures published by the Census Bureau give it a mean elevation of about 6,700 feet, second only to Colorado, and the 2020 Census counted 576,851 residents, fewer than any other state. The ground runs from 3,099 feet, where the Belle Fourche River leaves for South Dakota, to 13,804 feet on Gannett Peak in the Wind River Range.
