Gas Mileage in my 2023 Outback Wilderness
Просмотров 19 тыс.Год назад
Today I'm going over what kind of gas mileage I've been getting in my Subaru Outback Wilderness. I made a chart and everything!! I wrote a log over the last couple of months every time I went to the gas station and tried to see what kind of gas mileage I was getting, especially compared with what the Wilderness is rated at (26 highway and 21 city). Near the end of the video, I go over the EPA e...
Why I Chose A Wilderness (over other Outbacks)

Hey there! In today's video, I go over my thought process on why I bought a 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness model instead of the other trims, like the Premium or the Onyx. I talk about why I wanted some of the Wilderness specific features, when they come in handy, and even how it compares in off road driving to something like a Jeep Wrangler. Spoiler alert: don't try to take it on the Rubicon Tr...

Outback Wilderness No Build Camper

Hey there! This video is about how I turned my 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness into a sleeper camper for life on the road! I like to take long trips and needed somewhere to sleep while on the road, so I figured I'd turn my new Outback into a portable tent.

    New to me 2014 OB Limited. Just getting it all together for kayaking and camping. How do I level the slant between head and feet? It does not go fully flat. I do not want to have a built platform. What is simple, yet eases the difference between the front and rear of the sleeping surface? Layers of blankets? suggestions anyone?

  • @TayeIm
    @TayeIm 5 месяцев назад

    Great video! It is more about the speed. I have a tear drop I pull with my Lexus GX 470. 75 mph vs 60 mph makes a huge difference. I get around 7 to 8 miles per gallon when I am pulling at 70-75 mph. Hard to do a cross country trip with that. I just bought a Toyota sienna, I am getting a Yakima rear hitch mount/box set up. This way I can still drive 75 mph on the high way and still get great gas milage. Just another way of looking at things. 😊

    I loved the way it drove on the test drive. The suspension was cloud-like. Engine was a peach as well. My only two wishes would be for larger windows and slightly more driver space for my 6’4 frame. I’m REALLY looking forward to seeing what changes come for the 26” model!

    Thanks again for another informative video on the Outback; a vehicle I may purchase (short list against a RAV4 Adventure), but waiting to see what kind of version comes next with either product in 2025 or mid 2026, if Putin doesn’t draw us into WW3 before that 🙏🏼 or other crazy stuff like someone tries to become King/Autocrat like Putin, expects complete loyalty/submission and does away with 4-year terms and democracy itself. God bless. Anyway, I’ve seen similar fuel economy penalties with trucks, which I own (2500 series). Driving 5 mph slower and even more can save a lot of $$$ and is safer for emergency maneuvering reasons.

  • @JamesSymmonds
    @JamesSymmonds 8 месяцев назад

    My NA Forester Sport seems to suffer immensely from the speed penalty too. I rarely attain sticker fuel numbers. This is the first car I've had that issue with. And I used to own Honda Element!

    Where did you get the wind deflector from?

    • @talesfromtheoutback
      @talesfromtheoutback 8 месяцев назад

      it's Frontrunner as well (I believe it's named the "wind fairing" deflector now if you go on the website); It's actually pretty easy to install. But like the roof rack I'd wait till it goes on sale if you can; usually get a pretty good discount

  • @talesfromtheoutback
    @talesfromtheoutback 8 месяцев назад

    EDITOR'S NOTE: at about the 7 and a half minute mark I start talking about the lengths of trips for a Subaru; I should correct myself and say I was talking about 2-3 month long trips, not 2 weeks! The Subaru (and by extension the FrontRunner rack) are more than capable of going on multi-month trips and I think I was referring to trails like the Rubicon where a Subaru can't really go. Anyway, carry on!

      I’m paraplegic and have slept in the back of my 2006 Liberty wagon and 2023 outback. Depending on your level of injury and ability, the newer outback is a fantastic car, but I find transferring up into the boot of the outback a bit of a struggle. I’m 5’4. I also had less headroom in the outback than the older Liberty. Unfortunately my old Liberty was a GT tuned by sti and was super low to the ground, so driving off-road was limited and the reason I got the outback in the first place. I’ve now got a box trailer my mate is setting up for me to haul my scooter for better camping mobility, and we’re rigging it up so that I can sleep in it also

    My 2012 Toyota Venza is very similar to the Subaru Outback. I have been living in it for over a year and a half and find it VERY pleasurable and comfortable. Only a minivan might be better, but I like the stationwagon type of vehicle. Tightly taping garbage bags to all windows behind the front seats works extremely well for privacy.

  • @strangersinside5417
    @strangersinside5417 10 месяцев назад

    Great videos you’ve got! One recommendation I’d make is the factory side window rain-guards, definitely worth the investment for so many reasons. And take out the spare tire styrofoam thing… I use that for extra storage in my wilderness. The jack fits fine against the tire. Love the wilderness in that color!

    • @talesfromtheoutback
      @talesfromtheoutback 8 месяцев назад

    Simple reasons. I got a 2024 Outback Wilderness for road tripping and car camping with it. I like the ideal of being able to go down a dirt road you see off the hwy that leads into the distance, and it's not in your plans but you want to go anyway. I traded in my 2021 Outback.
