Great review as always 👍👍 waiting for your review of the 24 Sorento X Pro!

Are these trails just the norm in Washington? It’s so beautiful

30:06 I was waiting for this comment from Ryan. I've been getting those trolls in my comments too. However, their answer to your question will still be "yes".

The improvements are what I'm sold on - exterior means very little to me compared to what it does and how the interior looks. Subaru is reaching for someone like me who wants the things like a quieter interior, better sound system, ventilated seats, upgraded x mode. As for exterior styling, it's what is inside the book (the story) not the cover which sells me. Looking forward to buying my first Subaru and forester around the fall of 2024.

Minor difference between US and Australian version the steering wheel is on the other side 🙂

xt5 is not an off road vehicle.

Great video!

Did Falken help sponsor this video? Did you have to pay for the tires yourself? I'm looking forward to your review of them on the highway and other street driving.

Throwing that tire in the puddle was gold!! 😂

how much coffee you drink?

>>>> GOOD <<<...^.~

The CVT is the only reason I never bought a Subaru. They are cheaper to develop and build, so I get why automakers like them. But they rip a lot of the fun out of driving.

On our third Subaru, the last two were Foresters. Don’t see a reason to change!!

I have one like this Ralliart in the Philippines and I love it.

Love these Wilderness model Subaru videos. Its showing me that a Subaru Wilderness model will do everything I'd need....I want the Subaru Forester Wilderness. With the videos you have done with the Forester Wilderness with stock tires the places you've taken it has had some more challenging terrain than I'll get into and you haven't had any trouble overall in your ventures so a Subaru will work just fine for my occasional back roads adventures and camping excursions. A lot of places I've gone recently I've been able to tackle with my 1987 Ford Ranger 2WD pickup...so I Subaru will do fine LOL.

I have replace the shocks in my 2021 Chevy ZR2 Colorado. Boy was that a shock - $1500 apiece at the dealer.

Weak motor

Great driving! I wonder why Subaru cannot make a real, dedicated off-roader?

I and people in the know, want this 4runner for its reliability and simplicity. Screw the cameras.

Thank you for this video and demonstrations. We’re looking at ‘23 highlander hybrid awd and wanted to know about the trail button features. Should i use it on gravel roads with switch back turned in the mountains ? Or only when there is snow & ice? Thank you again

I just picked up a 2023 C40 Recharge that had 6k miles on it and it drives like a dream...absolutely amazing and I got it for $32k.

why they dont just offer diff-lock option?

I am so glad you lost the desk :)

"Expect to pay 10 to 20 grand more, if you can find it". I literally called up 3 dealers today, they all had at least 1 in one color or another, and their MSRP. So I "ordered" a pepper red one for 57k. Wow, such a markup, wow so hard to find......

Has more articulation than grand Cherokee

Debating a 2024 highline (sel) 4motion, just hesitant due to reliability concerns I’ve seen…

Curious what you think about the TOYO Open Country AT 3 since they offer it in the OEM size

I bought the 23 Sport XT5 for the premium suspension and off road mode. I would have paid extra to get a vehicle without a screen. I am not cool. I live on the worst roads in Northern Ontario and the off road suspension and AWD is very comfortable. I often drive several hours to visit the kids and my back and arse does not hurt anymore when I get there. The electric passenger seat is hard to find on other makes, but this has it. Getting older and it is harder to climb up into trucks and down into sedans...these seats are perfect to adjust to get into. The V6 got 6.7 L/100 km on the last trip. ..that's 36 miles a US gallon for my American friends. I paid considerably less than 70,000 US being the year old model and having some GM points to use up. Well, to be exact I paid $59,000. I love the lights situated on the front to look for moose in the ditches. This is my first Caddy and my wife thought I was losing it because we always drive farm trucks. I'd buy it again.

60k for any midsize truck is insane .

This was a fun one to watch. Thank you!

This vehicle never ceases to amaze.

It wouldn't be bad if such cars required 15cm rising air suspension, winter tires are important.

Honestly I don’t buy subies for style or looks. It looks ok enough and does its job and more when needed. I have the 2017, probably won’t get a car soon but good chance I’ll get another Subaru.

That isn't a 7/10.. That's more like a 2/10 😂😂😂 Fins and things in Moab is a 5/10 and that's way more technical than this gravel road is.

How many mpgs did those tires cost you? 😅

Love your channel! I have a 2022 Forester wilderness and was curious how the newer crosstrek performs with this set up as I am thinking of replacing my stock tires with these ones! Since you're situated in the PNW - have you ever considered in doing some trial runs up in BC, Canada - we got some pretty gnarly forest service roads up this way that I've driven on with my FW.

Toyota went to all the trouble to give you a snow mode, why would you put it in Mud and Sand?

Maybe I missed it, are the Wildpeaks larger?

Lol, don’t scrape the leather. My 3 year old always has to put his feet against the front seat. So now we take off our boots when we get in haha.

I might pay $22k for this

I’m so excited to get this car

Cant express how much I love seeing this little Crosstrek in action, great video as always!!

How much does Subaru actually pay you for the frequent advertising videos that you show conspicuously often? That seems to be a very close relationship.

Your off road course is great. You can test any vehicle in tough conditions. But if it starts rain this course become hardcore. Subaru still makes good off road capable vehicles. Great episode. Greetings

I would like to know what effect the tires have on gas mileage? I own a stock forrester and dont want to give up economy

I can't see using this vehicle for anything but taking the kids to soccer. Im sorry. It's a very expensive flash mobile without much real practical application in a real 4wd situation. Wheel lifts due to all around independent suspension with no articulation to speak of. My opinion.

almost invincible

Would be interested in seeing a hybrid motor attached to this. Please do NOT go to turbocharged/supercharged/any charge engines. At best, a hybrid battery for better low end torque and improved MPG is all you need

Interesting video but Crosstrek, Outback, Passport, etc. never intended for anything more than an easy fire road. Getting to a camp site, etc.

Electric cars are the physical embodiment of "let them eat cake"
