Obviously not a true off-roader, but more than capable enough for what most families will ask of it. Thanks for posting this video, it was fun to watch.
Hey Trent, Great video of you and Rick enjoying yourselves together out on the Reddington Pass Road with your Subarus. Love your comment about the 'cosmetic memories'! Despite Subaru's awesome abilities with these rough roads, it's good to have a backup, driving with a buddy. Besides, you can occasionally swap cars if you want to, to add to the fun adventures. Enjoy your Subaru! Cheers From Down Under, Martin
Thanks for this video! I'm considering the 2022 Ascent as my next car to replace the 2005 Xterra you sold me as a used car back in 2013 from the Tucson Subaru dealership. Glad to see this car won't disappoint after driving an Xterra for so long.
This is a great video! I like that you also showed the route on where you took the car so that next time someone wants to test out their car they can go there!
I wouldn't expect much out of them and any deep sand. There are still plenty of limitations on a stock Subaru. I have since upgraded my tires from the stock ones.
Cosmetic memory, I’ll have to use that one!! Excellent video, this is exactly what we needed. Even TFL hasn’t done one like this. Just wish the ascent had a more truck-like squared off look.
@@TrentTheCarGuy that's saying a lot for those low profile tires on big wheels. Impressed it handled all of that without any punctures or sidewall tears. Thanks for the reply
I live in US but I have a Subaru Crosstrek in Philippines and I really is satisfied with it handling, usually the crossover's like CRV ride bumpy but the Crosstrek shows compy ride even its rear wheels already below the seats.
I’m a mechanic and own my own shop. Subaru’s have tons of problems as they age. Fuel pumps, wheel hubs, valve guide leaks, head gaskets, cvt valve body failures, oil consumption, are the main problems I see. Usually begin about 3 years old. But many of my clients have oil consumption from the moment they drive a Subaru off the lot. 1 quart of oil every 1500-2000 miles is common.
I am sorry but this trail is not difficult. Need to push the engine, braking, suspension AND offroad-ness of said vehicle to see where (in reality of real obstacles)! No offense, really; however, my Honda Fit could take on this trail! Eh? I have pictures of off-setting the articulation of both axels.

Finally, as Ascent off road video that is done at a Subaru test track. Well done!
Maybe a suggestion add some links where can one get accessories for the Ascent .. Cool videos I enjoy them a lot
Great video exactly the video I was looking for. Just got one and I'm glad to see it can handle itself

Glad you liked it! Man, my wife sure thought that was an old man joke when she heard it! LOL 😂

Thanks for this video. Shopping for a new SUV and we need some off road capabilities and are considering an Ascent. Tougher than I thought. Cheers
That was a great view when you were showing the all-wheel-drive feature!
Thanks! There will be more to come!
Great video! Nice camera work. The drone shots are hot!
Thanks so much!
Compare to where I live, this is enough grass-covered area to not to be considered a desert but rather a woodlands and meadows.
This is a great video! I like that you also showed the route on where you took the car so that next time someone wants to test out their car they can go there!
Thanks man! I had to squeeze that in there somewhere. 👍
Great vid Trent. any plans for future vids? Are you still running stock tires?
Awesome I’m getting one Friday!
You will love it for sure!
Nice vid!!!
Thanks
How do you think the stick tires would do on beach sand.
I wouldn't expect much out of them and any deep sand. There are still plenty of limitations on a stock Subaru. I have since upgraded my tires from the stock ones.

Also impressive is doing that on stock tires. Just wondering, did you air down?
I didn't air down. I would have but I truly wanted to see the normal stock capability first.

@@mladetto7453 I got lucky, that is for sure!
Did you use x-mode?
Love this... can’t wait to take ours off-road. Did you install an under hood cover?
Do you mean under motor cover protector?
@@teresareza3613 yes.
Excelente Subaru, le falto un poco de pericia al conductor 👌🏻
Pretty sweet shirt. :) And good video.
👍
why are Subaru so good off road when it is just all wheel drive not four wheel drive?
cool.
Thx!

If you want to see what a STOCK Subaru Ascent can actually do, watch the WHOLE video!
Sorry but the music messed it up for me.
Nope.. I love my ascent .. I'm not going to do that .. 😂
This is just one way I enjoy my vehicle. Everyone is different and that is totally fine by me! 👍 I love my Ascent too!
日本でも販売してほしい。
get better tires on her you think !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't overheat the CVT 🤣
Touring trim has a transmission cooler
However, an engine will make troubles later 5 years. It costs to $1000.00. Yes or no?
I haven't had that issue. I've had 11 Subarus and 2 Ascents and I've been completely happy with the reliability.
