Lifted Trucks Blog

There’s no place quite like Wyoming. The wide-open skies, towering peaks, endless prairies, and legendary towns invite you to hit the open road and just drive. Whether you’re crossing the wind-swept plains from Cheyenne or winding your way through the Tetons near Jackson, Wyoming’s road trips aren’t just scenic—they’re spiritual. And when you’re behind the wheel of a professionally built lifted truck, the journey becomes even more extraordinary.

At Lifted Trucks, we believe the ride should be just as memorable as the destination. That’s why we build and sell the kind of high-performance, adventure-ready trucks that are perfect for exploring everything Wyoming has to offer. Buckle up—here’s how a lifted truck takes Wyoming road trips to a whole new level.

The Wyoming Road Trip Experience

Wyoming isn’t your average state. With over 97,000 square miles of terrain, it’s a land where you can drive for hours without seeing another car—but what you will see is breathtaking. Think sweeping grasslands, elk-filled valleys, alpine lakes, and historic towns frozen in time.

The most iconic road trips in Wyoming include:

• Cheyenne to Jackson (through Rawlins, Dubois, and Grand Teton National Park)

• Buffalo to Cody (via Bighorn Mountains)

• Casper to Yellowstone (stopping in Thermopolis)

• Laramie to Flaming Gorge (via Medicine Bow and Green River)

Each of these routes delivers unique beauty—and each becomes significantly more fun, more comfortable, and more capable when you're driving a lifted truck.

Why Lifted Trucks Are Perfect for Wyoming Road Trips

1. Unmatched Ride Height and Visibility

Wyoming’s roads often cut through valleys, hills, and blind curves. With a lifted truck, you enjoy superior visibility over traffic, fencing, and even wildlife. Spot deer or pronghorn early and take in 360-degree views of the state's endless vistas.

2. Ready for the Unexpected

Not all roads in Wyoming are paved. In fact, many of the best adventures begin on gravel, dirt, or snow-packed backroads. Lifted trucks offer enhanced ground clearance, better suspension articulation, and larger tires that give you confidence to follow any path—paved or not.

3. Built for Big Payloads

Road-tripping often means hauling coolers, rooftop tents, kayaks, camping gear, or even dirt bikes. Lifted trucks with reinforced suspension and bed accessories handle the load with ease. You’ll never have to sacrifice comfort for cargo.

4. Prepared for All Weather

Wyoming weather is famously unpredictable. One moment you’re basking in sunshine, and the next you’re crawling through a summer hailstorm or early snow. Lifted trucks, especially 4x4 models, offer peace of mind when conditions turn fast.

• Distance: 430 miles

• Highlights: Red Desert, Wind River Range, Dubois, Grand Teton National Park

• Why It’s Better in a Lifted Truck: Off-road detours near Sweetwater Station, better handling through mountain passes, extra room for gear and passengers

2. Cody to Yellowstone via Chief Joseph Scenic Byway

• Distance: 80 miles

• Highlights: Absaroka Mountains, Sunlight Basin, panoramic cliffside roads

3. Bighorn Scenic Byway (US-14)

• Distance: 60 miles

• Highlights: Bighorn National Forest, Shell Falls, alpine meadows

• Why It’s Better in a Lifted Truck: Gravel access roads become part of the journey, not a detour

Accessories That Elevate the Journey

Here are some truck upgrades that make road-tripping even better:

• Roof Racks or Bed Racks: Perfect for mounting rooftop tents, recovery gear, or extra fuel

• Performance Lighting: LED light bars help with early mornings or night arrivals at remote campsites

• Off-Road Tires: Reduce road noise while giving you grip on any detour you find

• Navigation Systems: GPS units designed for off-grid use with trail mapping

• Suspension Upgrades: Smooth out those long stretches and absorb washboarded forest roads

All of these options—and more—are available on trucks sold at Lifted Trucks. Many are already installed and ready for adventure.

Make It a Family (or Solo) Affair

Wyoming road trips aren't just for the rugged lone wolf. They're also ideal for families looking to disconnect and explore together. Lifted crew cab trucks offer spacious interiors, tech-loaded dashboards, and enough room for everyone’s gear and snacks. Whether you’re visiting Old Faithful or heading off-grid for a weekend of camping, the ride will be smooth, safe, and seriously fun.

Don’t Forget the Scenic Stops

A lifted truck isn’t just functional—it’s also photo-ready. Be sure to stop and snap some photos at:

• Grand Teton Lookout (near Jackson)

• Wind River Canyon (between Shoshoni and Thermopolis)

• Snowy Range Pass (west of Laramie)

• Shell Falls Overlook (on the Bighorn Scenic Byway)

You didn’t build or buy a beautiful lifted truck to keep it hidden—make the most of those moments with a view.
