Why are trucks a big deal in Idaho?

In Idaho, the preference for trucks over sedans or other vehicles is often rooted in practicality and the rugged lifestyle that characterizes the state. The diverse terrain, mountains, rural areas, and harsh weather conditions, demands vehicles capable of navigating challenging environments. (Especially in the winter!)

Trucks offer greater off-road capability, hauling capacity for outdoor gear, and a sense of resilience that aligns really well with Idahoans' blue collar workforce, and outdoor-centric activities.
