Known as America's "final frontier," Alaska offers expansive wilderness unlike any other region in the country. Monstrous ice-age glaciers, hordes of caribou, and more than 3000 miles of coastal waterways call Alaska home. It is also known for its thriving national park system with 17 parks spanning everything from sprawling mountain ranges to the deep backcountry with all of its forests for wild bear watching.
Alaska's most popular attractions include Denali National Park, Kenai Fjords National Park, the Alaska Railroad, the 400+-mile Dalton Highway, and the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve.

Which TESCO Vehicles Come Recommended for Alaska Residents?
Sightseeing. Visiting Denali National Park or the tip of Kenai Peninsula with your family and friends requires a steady and reliable performer. TESCO has a large fleet of 14- passenger shuttles. One of our favorites is the 2021 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 with Apollo style seating and wood grain manor oak flooring to match the nature you see. Are you traveling with a summer group? The 4-passenger 2022 Ford Transit Connect is another solid option. It can even accommodate one wheelchair with a comfortable 52-inch interior channel.
Gas Savers. Alaskan roads like the Atigun Pass and its 12 percent grades see plenty of inclines, declines, and everything in between. Cut on gas consumption with one of our new or used electric buses and vans. We offer Ford Transit or Ram Promaster chassis in passenger and ADA configurations. Some may even be eligible for up to $7,500 in federal tax credit. Contact one of our sales representatives and see if your vehicle qualifies.
Cost-Conscious Folks. Need a lean machine for cruising around Unalaska and Sitka's fishing ports while on a budget? We have plenty of used under 15-passenger vehicles with less than 20,000 miles like the 12-passenger Ford Transit 350 and the Starcraft Ford E450.
