I do 600"+ out our road everytime I leave my house!

Well, you'll be good then.

yes, along those lines, I've enjoyed the shear TORQUE that this machine is built upon - there is no 'struggling' to get up the STEEPEST of terrain, whether paved or gravel... it just goes, and you don't have to 'floor it', even while pulling a camper, you can 'creep' as slow and quite and easy as you wish - the truck doesn't care one way or the other.

IT JUST GOES : )

Ha ha. I went up Mt. Washington in NH earlier this month.

We need to start a thread with pics of our trucks at the highest drivable point in our states.

Here in Florida that would be some random hill in the Panhandle (345 feet above sea level)!

I see @It's Just Me and @lakeguy55 beat me to it!

I live close to the fifth highest point in Florida. Guessing I could do that...

So, this thread inspired me to go for a quick (truck) climb and foot hike yesterday to Mary’s Peak, our highest peak in our costal range.

Lariat ER, max tow, no tow or bed loads, just me
88 deg F at start, 81 deg F at Summit, 100 deg F on Valley floor on retun
Winds ~8-10 mph NNW

1.9 mi/kWh for 25.3 mi to the base of the Peak
.9 mi./kWh for the 9.2 mi to the Peak parking lot
7.7 mi/kWh for the 9.2 mi back to the base of Peak

The drive up and back was effortless! …..and QUIET

You forgot to say that this is about 800' higher than the OP's "top of the world", and isn't even in the top 100 peaks in Oregon.

True, and I had to hike up the last 400 ft without the truck……

True, and I had to hike up the last 600 ft without the truck……

Our last trip up to Marys Peak was a bit windy…

These are some fantastic places in Georgia. Will have to replicate some of them when I get my truck in a few weeks, or perhaps wait until the leaves start to change!

I just went for a long hike starting at Vermont's highest paved road (Lincoln Gap road trailhead). It was an 11.5 mile round trip out and back. I don't have my lightning yet, but drove my wife's (she thinks that it is hers) Volvo xc40 EV (402 hp, 486ft lb of torque permanent AWD). WOW the power/acceleration is crazy. 15 to 50+ mph on 12 to 20 percent grade straight aways. These EVs are great for mountain roads.
