I think we all are jealous but I’d never be able to the video work like that.

You should tell them to build proper recovery points into their Wilderness models instead of relying on the I-bolts. As more people listen to the marketing hype and push these things to the edge more will get stuck. Subaru needs to give them a safe and convenient way to get out.

You should tell them how the CVT is crap in the long run

@@pingpongballz5998 it is?

@@fishguy911 yup!

@@pingpongballz5998 where is this information published?

I feel that Subaru should sponsor this channel. Ryan does a great job demonstrating how capable the Subaru actually is, as opposed to another pretty popular review channel whom Subaru has black listed. I'm glad to see that Subaru is building some capable vehicles, seemed a few years they were quite lacking. Kind of reminds me of the old 80's 4WD Subarus again in their capability....great work Subaru.

I'm torn between the wildernesses and other BOF SUVs. At the end of the day, do I need all the extreme off-road capabilities for driving mostly what Ryan has been doing in his videos, which Subarus are more than capable doing.

@@jwuhome I've had 2 Jeep Grand Cherokees, 1st gen 96 and a 98, both of them were unibody. You don't need a body on frame SUV to go offroad, contrary to what all the KZfaq armchair quarterbacks pretend....Just look at all the regular XJ Jeep Cherokees that are heavily modified for offroad use, yes those are unibody as well. Wranglers, 4Runners, all those body on frame SUV's are just way over-hyped, and honestly ain't that great at doing anything in a practical sense...they're heavy, they're cumbersome, and they're not very well power to weight balanced. The only Wrangler that is pretty proportional would be a base model 2 door, which really is the only one that belongs on the narrow and tight offroad trails, the 4 door higher end models are too cumbersome for actual trail use due to their size and added weight, it really effects their breakover angles mostly....both my Grand Cherokees saw quite a few mud holes, backroads, ATV/UTV trails, etc. and never had any problems with either of them aside from the regular oil/filter changes, a battery and serpentine belt, as well as several sets of tires over the years. I was quite surprised with them considering they had what everyone has claimed to be the worst transmissions the 42RE...then again I had them serviced every 45,000 miles, and had auxiliary external transmission coolers on both,. The newer Grand Cherokees are quite capable as well. I haven't gotten to try out a new(er) Subaru, but given what Ryan has done in his videos they'd be more than capable with the right set of tires for your usage.

same with you, I purchased my 22 obw last Februry

@@yodowilderness So almost a year with it, how'd it doing for you? Have you kept track of fuel economy? For most of my needs the Subaru Outback or Forester would do fine...been tossing around the Subaru or a Ford Maverick, but still not liking the small turbo 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder engine idea for long term ownership....and the Subaru can still be had with a regular 4 cylinder.

His 2019 Forester AWD video was what made me change from Ford to Subaru.

Subaru and ford both unreliable. Should’ve went with the Toyotas.

Ditto, next month will mark one year of SFW ownership and I couldn't be happier with it. Test drove the RAV4, but it was too vanilla. My SFW reminds me of (and even kinda looks like) a WW2 Army jeep..

@@sothickitssickk I own a Toyota 4Runner and Subaru Outback…it’s not unreliable, it’s actually been a good little car. It’s not as tough as a 4Runner nor as smooth on the highway, but good.

@@firebir11 i had a evo 8. that shit killed the STi. STi sucks. engine is weak

You can always pass cars...but you can't stop any faster. A LOT of people find this out the hard way in Colorado.

I own a wilderness too and I couldn’t agree w you more!!

My Forester Sport is a beast in the Minnesota snow this year! Haven’t got stuck once that’s to the X-mode!

@@immachine1565 that’s why I will stay with the older 2016-2019 models, I can replace that stupid touchscreen with an aftermarket stereo and not worry about a failing blanking out POS that costs thousands of dollars to replace

@@immachine1565 maybe in the US. I haven’t heard of anything up here in Canada

2 weeks!

@@drivingsportsYes, the Polit Trailsport is what I am waiting for.

I live in Colorado too and have a non wilderness outback and an actual true 4x4. If you're not going to be doing any real 4x4 stuff the OB wilderness is probably one of the best all around choices you can make for Colorado stuff. I wouldn't take this or any Subaru on really legit 4wd trails but if that's not your thing it's more than good enough.

What vehicle did you end up buying?

@@Henry11111 Nothing as of yet.

Filming Pilot Trailsport in a couple weeks!

I just added a wireless Ottocast dongle to my '20 Onyx that gives me wireless carplay and android auto. It also does full screen android auto (which maybe Subaru will support someday in the older gen6s, but who knows how long they'll drag their feet on that).

Same , so expensive though

@@calvincalvinify Compared to.....?

@@eskieman3948 easy to look it up yourself

@@eskieman3948 easy to look it up yourself

Same here

And that would be awesome

Very interested to try out that new Compass.
