46 U.S. States And Counting: Exploring America's National Parks In A Porsche 911

Having traversed 140,000 miles, Jeff Rhoades and his Carrera 4 prove that you don't need an overlander to explore the great outdoors

This is Jeff Rhoades and he is on a mission to visit all 63 US National Parks in his pre-owned 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera 4

A friend’s wedding in Colorado presented a road trip opportunity in 2022, and there was no looking back

Jeff has since already driven over 140,000 miles and visited 46 parks across the U.S.

The former lawyer prioritizes scenic backroads over interstates and embraces spontaneity and chose the Carrera 4 for its versatility and practicality

Compared to other exotic sportscars, the 911 offers great ergonomics with ample headroom and legroom for long stints on the road

While not so spacious, you do have rear seats, or a cargo volume with 9.18 cubic feet

Additionally, the front trunk offers 4.41 cubic feet of space

A rooftop tent allows Jeff to camp comfortably under the stars. The Carrera 4 has a payload rating of 980 lbs

All-wheel drive comes in handy in tackling a variety of surfaces and weather conditions, making for a year-round sports car

The 3.0L flat-six engine with 370 hp and 331 lb-ft torque helps the car transform into a beast on the track when desired

Capable of a top speed of 180 mph, the 17.9-gallon fuel tank offers a range of up to 430 miles

Jeff shares his journey on Instagram to inspire fellow Porsche owners to explore and unlock their car's potential
