There's just something about the Crosstrek. Been intrigued about this car for some time. This footage only adds to the allure. I think they still offer a manual transmission too which makes them even more appealing. Is the Crosstrek in this footage manual transmission? Curious, do they offer a manual transmission paired with AWD? Seems like so many AWD vehicles don't come with a manual option.
@@Elvis_Kunda Thankyou for the reply and for sharing the footage. Looked like fun and it seemed like the crosstrek did pretty well with just the 2" lift and better tires.

Thinking of getting an XV/Crosstrek. But i keep hearing that they lack power. What is your opinion/thought? Was also thinking of a setup like yours for the same purposes! Love the look
@@Elvis_Kunda how so? thought that without airing-down, that would've slightly increased the ground clearance a lil bit especially for that crosstrek. And i only air down when maintaining a higher speed for overlanding on bumpy trails(shock-absorbing), or maneuvering around extreme terrains(extra tractions).
I've done La Dee's main roads in an Outback XT. No airing down. I will air down on the big chunky jagged rocks and I run Geolandar AT G015 on stock wheels.
Not many brand new vehicles in its price range that can do that even some full size suv's and trucks couldn't get that kind of traction...its practically a beefy car

Here a quick tip for y’all. The obstacles at the trailhead are called “filters”, and they are there to keep vehicles that shouldn’t be on those trails out. When you have to modify the filters to enter you are putting you, your vehicle, and the other people trying to enjoy the trail at risk. I was in the white Xterra at the beginning of your video, and at one point on 800 trail was stuck behind you guys, while the Subaru was trying to jockey between trails, and was being pushed beyond its ability. I’m glad that you only suffered a little bit of body damage to the front end, but you should have not been on that trail. Not trying to bash y’all, just passing along a little education of OHV areas. ✌🏻
I thought those were called "rocks". Don't remember modifying any filters but anyone going offroading takes the risk of damaging their vehicle. And I didn't see any signs saying that I can't take my subaru there
Chill……they got through it no harm done. Always good to share the trails and let people experience what their SUVs are capable of. They should be on that trail and more to come….happy trails y’all
As you can see, open diffs absolutely suck for offroad. Open diffs send power to the wheels with the least resistance/traction. Hence why the wheels that are in the air receive power rather than the ones planted on the ground. This is where that rear Torq locker comes into play for a more serious offroad experience. This is coming from the person that use to offroad their Crosstrek, so believe me, I know the sorta struggle!
True true, but it shows how well subaru's awd system works, you can see that the wheel in the air spins but then gets locked up by the brakes, sending more power to the wheels that have more traction. Obviously no comparison to locked, but it does works really good
If Subaru think they have a capable off roader just by jacking up the suspension of a hatchback they are kidding themselves. Just look at the huge overhang on the front of the Crosstrek, it will just rip off at the first serious obstacle.

Best video i've seen showing the crosstrek capabilities
Thank you
Just bought a new 24 Crosstrek Wilderness…can’t wait to get in some snow come winter. They are great little cars.
This looks fun. I just bought one and I’m excited to get into this type of stuff
Time for a lift and wheels
What lift you using?
WOW! Considering that it would not be considered in the class of a 4runner or a Jeep this is pretty damn impressive. The Honda did pretty well also.
ive taken a bone stock 2002 ford taurus thru there, with half tread highway tires... (in the sumer)
ive taken my stock ford taurus thru there in the summer when dry... hahaha my stock crosstrek goes up there all the time...

A lot of modern softroaders and offroaders really need high-clearance steel bumpers.

Ok I am impressed. I'm from Tigard, maybe I'll see you out there
That Gen2 CRV is fairly impressive itself... especially for ~20 yo rig.
I hit the dirt with just like that with my bumper all the time as well 🤣🤣🤣. When dislocated, clip it back on 🤣🤣🤣
@@lordscarfinger267 quick release 😅
Wish Subaru would bring back the low range transfer case.... My old '82 gl would smoke my 17 Crosstrek off road...

The crv is stock just a lift and wheels/tires
The tacoma is still in 2wd
Sweet
Just saw this! Kudos to you man and the CR-V for hanging with the BOFs. Did you do all this without a rear diff locker? 👏
Thanks 🤙 no diff lockers here
OMG the CRV is the real winner here
Nope

How is that CVT Holding up?

Any mods to the crosstrek? Do you have rear locker?? Did really well with tires off ground!
Just lift and tires, no lockers. Subaru's symmetrical awd system work really well with even 2 wheels off the ground
How about the CVT performance? I'm thinking in buying a Crosstrek, but I'm afraid of those gearboxes for off roading. Any issues at all?
No issues at all. Honestly doesn't feel too much like a cvt
