If you’ve spent a winter driving the South Hill grades or a summer searching trailheads toward Mt. Spokane State Park, you already know the Inland Northwest doesn’t come with easy commutes.  Ice on Division Street, washboard gravel past Mt.

A grey Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek kicking up dust while driving off-road over a rugged, rocky desert terrain.

Here in Spokane, buying a three-row SUV isn’t just about cup holders and cargo space.  It’s about getting up South Hill in February.  It’s about hauling the boat to Lake Roosevelt without white-knuckling the grade on US-2.  It’s about fitting the whole family — plus the dog, the camping gear and someone’s golf bag —…
