#Subaru #Outback #Wilderness - Auta a dopravní prostředky
TFL is the best automotive information on CZcams.
@Tommy Gunn clearly your shade tree is rotten. Off you go.
@Tommy Gunn clean up your finger nails and try to get your GED.
I got my brand-new 2019 taco 4x4 o-r for less than this subie
@Tommy Gunn Hater
This video has tarnished their reputation that’s for sure
Best presenter on the channel.
Clear, confident, concise, direct, and doesn’t drag on pointless teasers. (You won’t believe this one thing… crap)
Absolutely agree. Just found it today. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Agreed. Refreshingly free of awkward, cringy banter.
With the possible exception of Nathan this young man's presentation style, knowledge of product and overall mannerisms are frankly more professional and entertaining than the rest of the TFL crew.
Agreed. He shows what the car is capable of and when something is not as good he tells you why and how it compares versus just trying to make one brand seem better than another via false equivalencies.
So, he is Wayyyyyy better than his Daddy...
especially Roman and his boy. Those two are insufferable.
I feel like I’ve seen this guy before, in an Outback even, and before he was on TFL
@@jkid4855 nah, Tommy has really improved his presentation style over the years.
Wait when did TFL get someone that actually knows how to drive an AWD car?
Haha, yeah, and they tested it as ninety nine percent of buyers who actually go off road will use it rather than going to some goat trail where it was never designed to go and then claiming Subaru says it's supposed to be capable of doing this when it can't.
I've always been curious about Subarus. The company I'm working for in Portland Oregon just rented me a 2023 Subaru, Outback, and three days ago a healthy snow storm hit that left behind some of the steepest and curviest ice covered roads I've ever driven on, and I have to say this little Subaru, impressed me more than any other vehicle I've ever driven in my entire life, it laughs at the ice and snow, and just rolls right over it when people all around me are literally sliding off the road. I'm convinced, for daily driving, and dealing with adverse conditions, such as snow and severe ice, these vehicles are second to none.
As a fellow Portlander, I can vouch for the Outback's incredible snow and ice ability during this week's storm. I own a base 2015 outback with some relatively worn WS80's and I was able to drive from Beaverton to Mt Hood and back with near full control during the snow storm. Whilst I was simply cruising along, I passed dozens of stuck cars (even jeeps??) Was fun. If I could afford it, I'd upgrade to the outback wilderness in a heartbeat.
Just got a 2021 Crosstrek Sport .. went with it as I'm single and the size fit my needs better. Also, the Trek is 700 lbs lighter and 14" shorter! I lifted it 2" and put on an aluminum skid plate. I also mounter Toyo All Terrain III's in 225/65 17" so I have 11 3/4" at the rear pumpkin .. it did Moab on the easier trails without a problem .. I'm still learning how to drive it off road. I sleep inside the Trek .. at 76 my days of tenting are over .. and once you sleep inside the vehicle you realize how nice it is! My opinion of course. LOL 🤠
The 2.5i in the Crosstrek was a brilliant move by Subaru.
Keep it up Al! 💪🏽💪🏽
Cool to see you still getting after it sir!
Keep on inspiring bud!
I'm adding the 2" kit to my wilderness and I went with the AT3s as well
Finally a TFL presenter that doesn't have a bias against Subaru.
TFL is salty cause Subaru won't give them press vehicles, so they at every chance bad mouth them unjustly and do everything they can to make them look bad. This isn't the channel to get accurate Subaru footage.
Honestly they are not that great anymore. Look at all the mechanics talking about high oil consumption
The best place to learn about the Subaru’s capabilities is the dealership. I learned from the salesman that the WRX makes a great rock crawler for the Rubicon trail. I haven’t been there yet, but I’m glad I have a vehicle that can tackle it with confidence.
More of this guy, please!
Good job! Better presentation than anyone else in the TFL crew! Looking forward to seeing more reviews from you.
I just got back from Colorado. I traded my TRD Pro 4 Runner for the Wilderness. Off road at speed the Wilderness is amazing. I have over 10" of ground clearance because of the bigger tires I'm running. Driving on the highway, the Wilderness really shines. Smooth, quiet and good mpg. Off road, the suspension is so smooth compared to a Jeep or 4R. I still miss the 4R, but the cheaper operating cost of the Wilderness is nice.
We had ours in Death Valley 122 f . Every other car was overheating and off the road . The Subarus temp gauge never even moved !!!!! Love ours .
What time and tire size are you running to get the 10" clearance? Do you have a lift on?
@@zbassr2106 just going from A 225/65R17 (stock) to a 245/65R17 is 1 inch in difference. so the tire alone will get you to 10" of ground clearance without a lift.
@@c.h.9827any rubbing with the 245s?
lol I’m thinking about doing the same thing! I have a new TRD Pro 4Runner (paid off) and really just not in love with it. Heavily considering an Outback wilderness as I think it will better suit my needs. And I’ll make some money back on the trade in so it sounds like a no brainer.
As always, you're killing it Kase. Your videos are getting better and better. Keep it up!
We love ours it's a little taller so highway driving with big gusts you'll feel it a little . But it's an amazingly capable can and has great handling for it's higher ground clearance !!! We've got 9000 miles on it and it's only 2 month old . Death Valley at 122 f in agust , no problem ! Southern Utah sand , no problem ! Mt Hood logging roads, NO PROBLEM. Can't wait for the snow .
Yep, the Outback Wilderness is the better choice for ninety eight percent of Wrangler and 4 Runner owners. What I mean by that is not that the Outback is more capable at the extremes. It's obviously not. Instead what I mean is that for most owners, most of the time, there is nothing they will do with their 4Runner or Wrangler that the Outback couldn't also do. And when they are daily driving on paved roads or in situations where four wheel drive is not needed the Outback gets better mileage, is more comfortable, offers more features for the money and is certainly safer than the Wrangler and likely more so than the 4 Runner. I have no issue with people buying what they want but the arguments made against vehicles like the Outback by Jeep and Toyota owners are often purely academic as best and outright fantasy at worst.
Idk the people who responded didn't understand you. You never said Subaru is better or more reliable. Btw...They all break! I've had numerous jeeps over the years and have both Jeeps and Subies now. You are so right that 90+ percent of the time the Subie can go wherever the Jeeps and 4R's can go. Ones not better than the other, just different. As far as pulling people out on the beach, we'll that's usually driver error. I've seen many jeeps and such be stuck. I myself have got stuck with a jeep on sand. Guess what... my fault, driver error. I spend 6 months a year in Vt. driving on snow covered roads and the Subies drive as good if not better than any jeep or 4Runner, especially with proper tires. So again ones not better than the other just different for different situations.
I’ve owned a half dozen Wranglers, and currently own a 4Runner. This is my second Outback and my favorite of them all. A 2” lift, aftermarket skid plates and larger BFGKo2’s and it’s so much fun off-road, as well as a comfortable daily driver.
That's me. I had a Wrangler for 12 years. I was about to get a gladiator and realized the Outback will more than fit my actual needs
Ditto, this is me too. I used to drive a V8 4Runner. When I bought it, I had all sorts of plans (towing things, off roading, and hearing that sweet V8), but reality is I rarely did any of those things. All the while, putting up with weekly refuels and driving a big boat around.
Recently bought a newer Subaru Outback 3.6R and it’s been the best choice. Much better handling, better gas mileage, and a realistic amount of off roading capability.
This is so true
I have a buddy that traded in his Xterra on an Outback several years ago. He does a bunch of hiking, mostly forest roads so no super difficult "jeep trails", and he's been really happy with it.
Cool story, bro.
My #1 youtube source for vehicle reviews. :) Well done Kase.
Just bought my first Subaru - 2023 Outback Wilderness. Absolutely love it. Added OEM 2" hitch receiver and Thule Aero crossbars - ready to rock off the beaten track. I want a rooftop tent so bad! Nice video - concisely highlights features and capabilities. Thank you...
Just bought one of these. So far great vehicle. Don't get the hate on subaru. We have had a few and the latest one was an 09 forester. Daughter is getting that one and wife gets the outback.
I agree with these comments. This was an extremely well presented overview. 👍🏾
I’ve had mine for over a year. When OME tires were done, went to Cooper Road and Trail AT. Perfect combo! I’ve ran mine on slick rain soaked fire trails, deep snow and beach sand. Has been near perfect. Does everything my 4Runner and Jeeps did(except hard core rocks)and been a much better day to day driver.
Thank you TFL - here in Australia I’ve owned nine Subarus being Foresters, WRX, Liberty, Leone and one Outback - cool that you’ve called your remote ‘outback’ because this is actually a well known Aussie term - I’m selling my 4WD because it’s now twice the fuel cost (diesel) and running costs - I will get my tenth Subaru - all my Subarus were able to travel where some 4WD owners would not go - very capable, cheaper and you don’t need a rock crawler in fact I did remote outback Australia right up to Kakadu in the NT and easily slept in the rear.
I sincerely hope you guys make this young fella a permanent fixture on TFL. His presentation is absolutely on point.
Great video. Great content!
I have watched “18,000“ videos on Subaru outbacks. I own a wilderness. This was a fantastic presentation. Very well done.
Great video 👍🏼 keep Chase on these, he has a great vibe
Great video.
We live in very mountainous north central WA state.
We have a lot of rivers, streams and lakes. We’re within 30 of 2 ski resorts and awesome fishing spots.
Both our Outback and our Rav 4WD have no problems getting us to where we want to go.
For hard off roading we take our 4X4 pickup
I hope you guys test the Maverick FX4 directly against the Bronco Sport Badlands to see how much difference the diff and modes make. The Maverick is looking like a really dope little overlanding vehicle if the AWD is actually up to scruff. A tiny lift, 31s, bed cross bars and a tent. The tent would be roof-level so it wouldn't hurt gas mileage at all...you could drive cross country at 25+ mpg and then wheel for a weekend. Not a bad idea.
This presenter is a million times better than all the others! Makes the videos on the channel actually enjoyable
Waahhhhhhhhh
This is the video everyone wanted. I'm loving my OBW.
Actually, 9.5 inches of ground clearance is nothing to sneeze at. That's over 24 cm, which back in the day was more than the minimum ground clearance of some of the best off-roaders. I think the Outback needs it, though because of its long overhangs and the wheelbase. After all, it's not all about going over rocks. Off-road driving is more about approach-departure and breakover angles. I'm glad Subaru offers this option because a lot of people need just this - a more comfortable car for day to day (compared to a traditional frame-based trucks) with decent fuel economy, which they may take off-road occasionally for camping or hiking. It's not here to set records or compete with heavy hitters, but it should be able to address the needs of a lot of people. It's a more practical approach.
Well said. I'm in the market for a new car and I'm on the fence between a Tacoma and something like this or a Rav4 Adventure. The tacoma with a bed topper would be nice, but I love small nimble cars. My current do-it-all vehicle is a 06 Forester.
@@thomasdantas For what it's worth, I'd suggest going with the RAV4, but not the hybrid model (to keep it as standard 4-cylinder gasoline engine/automatic transmission combo). I loved the old Subarus when they had manual transmission and good old 50/50 symmetrical all-wheel drive. With things changed nowadays and Subarus using the dreaded CVT, I'd stick with the RAV4. Just my two cents.
I live where you can get a foot of snow multiple days, and even though the clearance is amazing, it still won't clear those blizzard days where some of the Wranglers would. That being said, it's a fantastic vehicle. I have one on order hopefully coming in December.
@@The_Norse_Hunk Can't argue that. There are always conditions out there that are extreme to this type of car/truck, which would be still manageable for another car/truck. I have to say, though, that if you have more than a foot of snow, you're likely not going to go out to drive. You may get caught in a storm once in a while and being able to make it to home would be nice in that case, but the point I'm making is that once you have that much snow, it's not so much about picking a car/truck with an even higher clearance, but rather about staying home and limiting your travel.
@@thomasdantaspersonally I would think about the RAV4. I love subies but the Rav 4 transmission and engine are better and more reliable cars. Subaru engines are now more prone to oil leaks and oil consumption at higher mileage (less than even 100k) if u don't plan on putting high mileage on it I guess it doesn't matter
Showing LOVE for my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CHANNEL PERIOD Thank You for your channel point blank. Have a Blessed day everyone
I like my family Outback. Good enough for marked trails to get to camp and even better around town.
It's not a real off-road truck but the wife loves it.
2024 Outback Wilderness here. Love it so far. It's my road trip and car camping vehicle.
GREAT review!!
Thanks man for the review
Makes no sense comparing it to a 4runner or wrangler.
A cherokee trailhawk would be good tsst comparison.
He wasn't comparing them to those, he was explaining why you would want one OR the other, that certainly are in different offroad classes.
@@Databyter 7:56 if you compare,,,
@@daved6464 Only if your comprehension is that low. He is only pointing out that if you went that direction, you get heavier, more expensive, etc, but that for most stuff THIS CLASS is adequate for what it is designed for. If you are understanding what he is saying in context, this is the message. If you are tearing it apart to make comments on the internet, you are missing the point. A real comparison would be comparing tires, clearances, power choices etc. He is only mentioning those others because they are an offroading standard, a standard that the Outback Wilderness OBVIOUSLY, CAPTAIN OBVIOUS does not achieve. This is NOT a comparison video, in the sense that it is comparing vehicles within a class. It DOES compare classes in an offhand way in passing to explain the segment. The author leaves it to the intelligence of the community to understand the difference. Databyter
@@Databyter LMAO are you trolling me. I remeber the same bla bla from another post.
@@daved6464 Sorry, no not trolling you. At least not on purpose. At any rate, it's not a big deal either way. Everyone agrees that those vehicles mentioned are light years more capable offroad. This is why it should be obvious they are not being directly compared. Just mentioned to make a valid point. And I think you, and I, and the reviewer in the video are all in agreement on this, so really this is a pointless comment to post, and for me to have to respond to. If I see you making the same comment elsewhere, I will try to remember your name and spare you explanations a third time. Databyter
Great review Chase. It was weird not to see this car struggling. I thought it could not offroad. Odd.... glad you had fun. 👍
I haven’t seen one do it yet;( Honestly any AWD Toyota Highlander can do that, for example.
@@JeepCherokeeful Agreed. I do like the concept of tests more appropriate for what the vehicle is actually designed for rather than just attempting to send everything up a 4x4 hill that a crossover buyer would probably never attempt ( can be fun to watch tho). With that said I do think they could have chosen something more challanging than basically a flat road especially when it's being compared to something like a 4Runner or Wrangler.
Is because the other guys hate Subaru, and they will only find problems and will only point the bad and not the good as he does?
@Not Dave serious question (for anyone) what CVT equipped vehicles do well on offroad hill climbs...any of them???
Cause he knows how to drive lol I have the touring xt and have not had any issues on the roads he has done except mud lol
As always, great video Kase
Informative video. Thanks 😊
This is almost certainly the best Wilderness review on the internet.
R.Henry, M.D.
I'm about 2 weeks away from taking delivery of my 2023 wilderness and I couldn't be more excited. Awesome video!
Congrats! I’m impatiently waiting for my delivery as I just ordered my OBW 2 weeks ago😅
@@TCobb47 they should have the stop sale resolved by then, so better to wait for it to be built than wait to pick it up from the dealer when they can't sell it to you haha
@@Bajablast_scuba_cat Your absolutely right! Lol. It’s crazy, I originally ordered a touring XT, just as the chip shortage started. I going to wait for the OBW lol
Ty for posting this!
It's too small for my family, but I do really like it and I agree with most commenters that it will do just fine taking folks down some back country roads and on some nice adventures. Just have to know the cars limitations.
To small? Do you drive a bus? How many kids do you have? Breeders are a different kind of breed. Why are you watching this video then if you realistically have no time to do anything you want to do since your family is so huge.
the first driving section looked super fun!
Great video fun and informative thank you
Living in the desert I would strongly dispute that road being unusually bad. Vehicle seems pretty nice tho. Subaru has really gotten things together with their interiors on the higher trim level vehicles.
Yeah exactly, not a bad road for the desert. I think it is a good example of what you “should” do at most in this vehicle though. It’s not an off road vehicle in reality.
@@Chasing-the-outdoorsI wouldn't mind seeing how things would go in thicker mud. Not so much to test the limits but because that's a fairly common situation even people who don't offroad can find themselves in. Park in an overflow lot at some large event only to come out to find it's a total mud pit...I would imagine most people have experienced something similar.
@@hippiebits2071 I don't usually film my off road trips I can attest to the winderness handling mud like a champ but like any 4x4 if the mud gets too thick and deep can have trouble, I upgraded the tires a week after purchasing mine though.
Exactly. I live in tahoe and wheel in northern NV high desert. That was a pretty normal desert highway style road. Usually those have offshoots that are 'real' jeep trails and that's how you get to the good camp spots. Those are where the subie would struggle but for a softroader it's not bad.
@@Chasing-the-outdoors Subaru will NEVER build one of those, heck they still aren’t even building want their customers really want;(
i wanna see what does in snow
Great review very informative. An excellent presenter. Looks like a thumbs up for the Subaru Outback Wilderness. 😊👍
Repping InR too! Love it!
Plus also don’t forget New front and rear bumpers with improved departure and approach angles…..really that’s the only stat that Subaru can definitely improve from the regular Outback but I definitely appreciate that Subaru upgraded/retuned the cvt transmission and also good move for Subaru to go with the 17inch wheels over the 18’s cuz thats the way to go for off-roading/over-landing
Great review
This was an excellent video!
I have this car (the green one), I love it but I will have to add a subwoofer+amplifier for the sound system, I wish they had a quality sound system option.
Great video!
Thank you. Great video.

I have a Z-71 Tahoe with good off-road tires and was recently out-mudded by a hippie in one of these, needless to say the ol' ego is still a bit bruised...
I have a wilderness and I drool when I see larger SUVs like the Tahoe. If I didn't live in a condo with a small car spot I would love a Tahoe.
This kid is 1000 times better than the “main” hosts on this channel
Excellent Review
Lovin' the Liquid Mechanics Brewery hat!
Nice idea on the website to bring all the channels together.
I like those rooftop tents. I prefer being removed from the varmints while I’m sleeping - plus they’re cooler ...
Nice job young man! 🤠
I hope there's another video with more technical 9ff roading.
I Never give 👍 for TFL as TFL gave bad and unfair Critic for Subaru...... But now it's Fair and Good video of Subaru Outback Wilderness, So I give 👍👍
Excellent review .. Subaru giving cars to TFL again ???
It doesn't matter because the cvt ruins it they should just do a automatic
I don't think they HAVE one, or a realistic one, at this point. Last true auto was mated to the 3.6 which will not share bolt pattern, probably a lot longer since they mated one to a 4 cyl. The CVT is probably much cheaper than any auto they could source from ZF or whomever.
The CVT is just fine, just change the fluid at regular intervals despite what the dealer and manufacturer say.
Or a bad ass manual. Junkies would love it.
If only they didn't equip the car with a crappy sound system. I had to spend $2800 to get some decent sound from the car, install a Kenwood subwoofer, and replaced the speakers at the doors.
Could you guys actually measure under body clearance? I realize the we are always using “claimed” numbers, but when I measure my beloved 2018 Outback, that clearance is a bit lacking in the front, adding to the vehicle’s already weak approach angle.
I went with a 4runner do to back window, reliability and height clearance. I wanted to get a subaru but I dont like the engine turnoff at stops. I know you can turn it off but everytime you get in the vehicle? It does have better gas mileage. Maybe subaru will bring back the baja. Then I'll get one.
You should have an alternate extended version of this video. Wanted to see more.
Y'alls video's are great love tha channel. But I think a jeep cherokee trailhawk would be better I don't know bout price difference. I think that my Is renegade trailhawk would go further than that would only downside is inside capacity. But I think my cherokee bout have tha same inside capacity
How could you go wrong? You have a couple of Land Rovers ahead of you...but seriously I had an Outback and it was great, but it's not a Land Rover. After one sortie to a distant Sierra trailhead I was surprised to find once back cruising on the highway that my hood was open. It wasn't open, the front subframe of the car had twisted 1/2", it must've happened when I was going uphill on a rocky section of trail and without low-range I couldn't crawl, I had to keep gunning the engine to make progress. Needless to say my next vehicle was a full blown 4x4 truck.
I'm very impressed with the Wilderness package from Subaru. Even with a CVT which is hopefully more reliable in this application with more cooling. After seeing Honda botch their Trailsport package reveal, Subaru did good work!
The limited number of Outback Wildeness' available here in So Cal start at $50.000.
if this was done by Roman or his son then the video will feature that one issue which made them shit on it continuously, no matter how capable it is, lol
So right
What’s the one Issue?
@@awhiteguy24
CVT, main suspect I guess.
Kinda like when they expected a reasonably efficient defroster in the Gladiator. Lighten up guys it's only like 2020 and a $40k+ vehicle and the technology has probably only been around for 50+ years. No one actually needs to be able to see anyway!
@@hippiebits2071 love the sarcasm but their Gladiator more along the lines of $53,000+ before all the mods.
He did the Outback justice lol
Gracias
You brought 2 Range Rover to get that eventually-stuck pickup with you, that's nice! ;-)
I'll keep my 4Runner.
Smart move! Lol
Yup lol 😂
Yeah sadly I’ll admit as a Subaru owner. Don’t ever sell it. Drive that 4Runner until the wheels fall off
It's kind of neat how everyone says driving a Outback is like driving a rally car. I agree, I own an Outback also.
Great job Chase! You even got Subaru to lend TFL a new car to test offroad!?!
You washed up the logo 😍💚
Love my wilderness, and will address the following: obviously this is not a hardcore off-road vehicle as they contain the following good approach/departure angles, 4 wheel drive with a high/low transfer case, locking differentials, and dislocating sway bars/ or a long flex independent suspension. And actual heavy steel body armour aka rock sliders and skid plating that supports full weight of vehicle. Oh and the best off-road vehicles contain few electronic features so you can fix crap on trail, because if you are truly "offroading" you will break crap.But if you want to travel cross country you are going to need a loan for gas, street travel no matter how manageable will not match a car, drone due to knobby tires. This is a nice vehicle and will get you to your favorite hiking trail. Is great for road tripping, and is mildly capable for snow mud and other loose traction situations. And if it isn't asphalt, or maintained by a county roads, no matter how mild you are off roading, you don't have to bounce off rocks all the time.
Fun fact the rims are manufactured by Enkei.
My 23 OBW arrived at dealership today, can't take it home. Starlink issues. Subaru gave me a 2020 XT Touring as a loaner
Will they send this up Gold mine hill(not sure if that's the right name) where the other Outback failed?
I want to see that to its one of my favorite spots when they test vehicles
Forget the 4Runner
LOOOOOL ARE YOU HIGH
Must be! They are head quartered in dope smoke Colorado! 💨 🤪
Anyone know what trail this is? What would be a step up or some more difficult of a trail around there?
This guy has star quality.
Would be nice if Subaru offered a factory 1.5"-3" lift option covered under warranty.
Most of their vehicles require significant suspension geometry changes to get past 1" of lift. If you need real lift, the Subaru's just aren't a viable option unless you are willing to do a major redesign on the rear suspension.
The factory lift on the Wilderness is pretty much the limit of the geometry in the back, which is why Subaru doesn't offer more as a factory option.
Pardon my ignorance, but is it there any manufacturer offering full warranty on a lift kit?
@@mjdm1925 Toyota offers full factory warranty on the new 2022 Tacoma TRD Pro with lift
A taller A/T tyre would've been better too. It compensates when lowering air pressure.
There is no way youre lifting a Subaru 3 inches correctly without adding thousands ands thousands of dollars to the price
Are you in the San Rafael Swell in this video?
The most remote campgrounds you need to hike lol
Just got one of these about a month ago and took it to an off road park in Texas.. was surprised how well it did. I probably pushed it further than I should have. Gonna throw on an LP Aventure 2” lift kit to give it even more clearance.. should be fun!
I’m in Houston and have 2019 Outback. Is there a off road park close to Houston. The ones I know about are for dirt bikes and 4 wheelers
@@goneoutside1011 the one I went to is called Hidden Falls adventure park.. looks like it’s about 3 hours from Houston
@@goneoutside1011 extreme off road park in Crosby. I see suvs and and trucks there all the time. Just have to take the easier routes without deep mud. Lots of good dirt and sandy places to test articulation.
Be careful if you go to Xtreme Offroad Park, in Crosby. Theres trails/ruts that even jeeps on 37's cant make and you wont see how bad it is when its filled with water.
Sorry you can’t even compare a outback to a 4Runner! Apples to oranges. They aren’t even in the same league
I'll take a outback over a 4runner any day in our Midwest winters...owned both and currently own my wilderness.. expect more.
I'm more curious about the Ridgeline I saw ahead of y'all on the trail. I can see it's the HPD "performance appearance package". Curious if it had any sort of lift or aftermarket tires.
Noticed that too. Given how much the tfl team dislikes the Ridgeline, I was pleased to see it holding its own with the Outback.
@@jg8263 I don't get the impression they dislike the Ridgeline. They seemed pretty positive about the 2021 model they recently had.
@@aaronbehindbars they are coming around, but go back and watch videos from when the current gen2 debuted in 2017, they were not fans. They are getting better and more objective now, I think Hyundai and Ford may have helped by showing the unibody truck isn't going away.
@@jg8263 Well it did overheat and shut down going up the 4x4 test area. Maybe the new one is better. Low range is standard 4x4 equipment for a reason..
@@ryanmartinage the 2017s 6 speed transmission had a 14:1 crawl ratio, the newer 9 speed has 20:1 is my understanding.
That original skid plate is A SXXT. 😂
What is the name of that roof tent?
Imagine if the new WRX's manual would fit
I will get this when they start selling msrp here in Bay Area, CA
Road trip from Oregon? Not sure on the sales tax law in California. My neighbor bought a car in California and didn’t pay sales tax on it because of the interstate commerce act.
Man in camo, I really didn't see him until he was very close.
what specific outback trail was this in utah?
Did TFL get invited to a Subaru press event?!!! Did Roman patch things up with Subaru of America? Or... Maybe there was never a TFL-Subaru falling out?? ;)
“Most remote” lol
