almost 1.5 years and still loving the wheel/tire combo, yeah? I'm really considering a smaller version of that for my non-lifted Forester.

Yes! I’m still loving this combo! You can fit the same without a lift, and you should!

Hope to see some longer videos of these two cars out on adventures!

Yeah, on brand new trails I prefer to just drive and have fun. I’m happier filming on a trail that I’ve done before, I know what sections are the most interesting.

Looks like fun

It’s fun once you know it can be done, haha. I was leading on the way into the trail, and it certainty surprised me. Fortunately I had traction control OFF. If it was ON, then I could have spun a wheel and the computer could have cut power, lost my momentum, and gotten stuck.

Just curious, what should I expect during winter months and general offroading, I own a 2023 base model forester without X mode, How big of an advantage is X mode to have and will I be at a huge disadvantage because of this? I'm worried my offroad ability will be lacking because of this. I would love to see more videos without X mode enabled and how it performs during exercises like this in the video or in general, Thanks.

Good question! You’ll be fine without x-mode. The car still does the same stuff, it’s just a little slower to react and help. You’ve got to remember to keep your foot down, keep the wheels spinning, and give the computer a little extra time to work.

@@MatthewHeiskell Thank you so much for your experience and knowledge, this makes me feel much better about my base model decision! love your videos and take care!

Mate, as far as I know all forester trims gets x-mode, and the top trims gets the second x-mode, so you should check that and you should be all good :)

That’s right! He’s still a novice, but he’s a quick learner. This video should help illustrate the difference.

The 2nd one has a different shaped bumper, too, which probably helps with less splashing.

I am novice as well - what is the downside of going too fast? I imagine having good moment would prevent your car from sinking in the mud? I am always scared if I go too slow that I will just get stuck.
