- RalliTEK's 2018 Outback off-roading at the NW Overland Rally two weekends ago. The excuse that, "It's just a Subaru" doesn't exist anymore once you see what our RalliTEK Outback was capable of. From winching out a high centered Tacoma to a bit of 3-wheeling action, Subaru of America, Inc.'s X-Mode really impressed everyone as we conqured all of the terrain there.Throughout the video, our Subaru was used during a training seminar which featured left foot braking and approach angles. Those brakes are good! It goes to show how far your adventure can go with the right knowledge and skill behind the wheel.

My 2011 Outback 3.6 took us every place I ever wanted to go offroad and to off the grid camping spots with no trouble at all. It is a simple matter of looking at the obstacle and deciding where you should place your tires to make the best contact. It was always about fitness never about speed. Great job by the driver and the spotter
I also have an 3.6 r outback a 2013 it's a beast ....with a real transmission
Let's just appreciate the fact there are different vehicles for different purposes and for different people. At the end of the day, we're returning from
trails and cracking a beer at an evening campfire.
- Coming from someone who loves & owns both a Subaru Crosstrek and Toyota Tacoma.
+Arizonensis - Nice comment, man
Awesome comment!!
Damn, that's the ultimate duo, well done man
I'm gonna share this video with my buddy. I told him I wanted an Outback. He was like, a station wagon. I'm like, this station wagon is sharp looking and more than meets the eye!
Its a suuuuuuuper capable vehicle - Very happy with mine - Can really recommend it
Yeah I got a Crosstrek and kinda wish I went for the outback for more space. But I absolutely love my trek.

Someone needs to send this video to FastLaneCars to shut them up about how bad Subaru are offroad
There are better videos of 5th gen Outbacks in action.
I’m thinking the same thing. They go out of their way to make Subaru look bad in my opinion.
This Subaru is highly modified. Obviously there will be a difference.
That video was especially hilarious because those idiots kept Hill-Holder on and kept letting off the gas as the Subaru gained traction.
Xelitaz1 - True. But don't worry about it, everybody know that "Fast Lane Car" guys are visceral Subaru haters.
Love that the look and capability with lift kit, rugged tires and skid plate..
And a damn internal winch!
Awesome! You have the Wildpeak AT Trail tires. Thanks for this video. Just got them installed and you truly test out their capabilities to the extreme.
I'm running the Wildpeak AT Trails on our 2023 Subaru Ascent. They are fantastic! We do air down for some of the offroading, but they have tackled everything we've set them upt against, from rain, deep snow, rocks, dirt, uphill, downhill, everything. I will 100% buy them again when these wear out.
'You don't have the clearance' and dude's "100%" sure. *Drives right up without any problem.
Great performance!
So freaking awesome
Like the video! Thanks. I need to take mine out more often.
Que máquina de carro saludos desde Medellín Colombia parcero
The best attribute for the outback is the ability to drive 70mph on the freeway with a foot of snow while maintaining perfect control.
Agreed - You wont do that in REAL 4x4 without leaving your transmission on the tar
Hahahah
Wow the brand blindness is strong with this one.
I am honest enough to admit that at 70 mph, in 1 foot of snow, I can not maintain perfect control in my REAL 4x4. But I certainly have never lost a "transmission on the tar" in my REAL 4x4.
yeeeeeah Ive seen alot of subaru outback drivers in the ditch in tahoe doing just that. Love my subie on snow tires but again. Seen plenty slide right off the road too... prob on all seasons.
Wow!
nice video 👍
So cool
My Scooby in Siberia has such challenges every day 🤣🤣 Subaru 🤙🤙🤙
Subaru is the biggest star and the others accepted this fact
Nice! How was the winch to mount? It is a very clean set up!
Nice video and work on the Subaru. I do have a lot of respect for it. It handles inclement weather VERY well according to friends who own them. Capable as hell.
I do love my 2017 KL Trailhawk though. The 4 Low Range and lockers along with some added side rock sliders and improved tires allow me to take it where pretty much most unlifted wranglers can go, and enough places where lifted ones can lol. I also finished a few trails that according to the local clubs had never before been done by an unlifted vehicle of any kind till now.
The Subie seems to be more for comfortable long road driving and some offroading. The KL is pretty good on the road and in all conditions, but the Trailhawk was made to go offroad more though.
So, I have a bias for mine, but I got respect for these Outbacks. Do the Crosstreks do okay offroad? Never looked them up before, but they seem snazzy enough.
I have an 1895 K 5 blazer with 33 inch tires, now that’s a truck, and it would laugh at this obstacle, but I also have a outback 3.6 R, which do a lot more than I thought it could.
I feel pretty good right now, knowing I just put those tires on my white 2019 Limited Outback 3.6R
did you have clearance or did it require a lift?
Man I love my Subaru
What All-Terrain tyres did you use in this video? Please share with us. Thanks!
Is this a 2.5i or a 3.6r. I can't find what you started out with anywhere on your website or the video. Thanks.
This is the 2.5..the 3.6 has duel exhaust and 3.6 badging on the back
i got the new outback as loaner from subaru and looks like a mom car but this one right here looks bad ass
Where did you get the skid plates from? We live in Cashmere, WA. Our Outback is a 2019.
Where are y’all at outside of Plain?
We manufacture them here in the USA, our skid plates and springs are 2 of the main products we are known for.

I bought one 6 weeks ago 11k on the clock and never had so much fun driving the logging trails ,mountain peaks and hill tops with the gps .mid winter in SE Australia snow and torrential rain - honestly I say it again, the best fun.XV ,Crosstrek whatever you want to cal it ,go play in the dirt.
RalliTEK
What winch mounting system are you using? Would like to learn more about it.
No doubt it’s from Primitive Stephen Weston
Thanks
We are using a custom winch mount to hold a WARN PV4500SSD behind the grille. We took the factory crash beam, sectioned it and boxed it all in to add the winch mount plate. Works well!
@@rallitek_official Ah cool, thanks!
@@rallitek_official eww, do mine
Fab Sub!!
We own a 2018 limited Crosstrek and I love it. I love them with lift kits on them. I am glad we bought it because it can go places I like to go. The only thing is it will never be able to go places my stock 4x4 truck will go. The Subaru goes slow and has to play it very safe while the a truck would be able to do it easier.
What wheel/tire size are you guys running on this Outback build?!
Best guess is a 245/65 17. Looks like Wild Peak AT Trail rubber with the Rallitek Rally Wheels.
Parts in the description! We're all very glad that everyone is as impressed as we are.
Ordering up parts for my 2021 outback XT.
Suggestion for lift height ? 1.5 or 2” ?? Ordering the front and rear springs also.
Either the 1.5" or 2" will work great, we will typically have our customers that mostly street drive their cars order the 1.5" whereas the customers that are doing a lot of off road driving go with the 2". We will be installing our 2" lift along with RalliTEK springs on our 2021 Outback XT very soon
What size tires? 245/60/r18 ? Stock is 225/60/r18 on the limited.
ive driven my outback through anything up mountains any day
What brand of lift kit was used, 2" lift", $$ price? Tires used? Skid plates, $$ price?
Thanks, I run a 2019 2.5 ltr.
I think everythin was RalliTEK
What tyre and rim sizes are you running ? - Any Distributers of your products in South Africa ?
The tires are a 245/65-17 and the wheel is a 17x8. For International shipping, shoot us an email to support@rallitek.com!
Wheel offset and lift height?
How did they get the outback to do that? TFL outback wouldn't even go up a steep hill with the cvt.
We play around with settings to get the cars to do what we want, the most success comes from X-Mode on and traction control off but it does change depending on the terrain and what we are asking the car to do.
@@rallitek_official Thanks for the reply. I'm sure there are plenty of folks on the fence about Subaru's with cvt. This gives us back the confidence to reconsider.
I wonder how this lift compares to the Ironman 4x4 2" lift?
Awesome video. Just took my 2016 Outback 3.6 beach driving and could have used a little extra lift. Could not find the front 1inch springs on your sight for my model, only shows 2014..are they the same?
Sorry for the late reply to this but for the 3.6r cars, the spring that we offer is a 0.75" lift instead of the 1" lift for the 2.5 cars.
Great offroading I'm very impressed Basically as good as a Landrover
13 dislikes are Tacoma fans... LOL!
Lies! One crv owner too.
Lies it's a 4runner club lmfao and jeeps as well😁
I'm feeling the heat from the hate out there... LOL! Wrote this: 13 Dislikes. Word got out... now it's up to 110.
How did the winch get mounted in?
What’s the build for this? Got an ‘18 outback I’m upgrading for the central Oregon off-road/cascade mountains hiking
We have a 1.5" lift up front with RalliTEK springs and a 1/2" spacer, 1.75" lift in the rear with RalliTEK springs and a 1" spacer, engine and transmission skid plates and 245/65-17 Falken AT3W tires on Method MR501 wheels. Works great!
I have a 2013 outback, would this be possible with h4 engine?
Yes, the RalliTEK Outback has the 2.5 4 cylinder engine.
How is the alignment on this set up? is there need to have subframe drop spacer kit?
We did have to do a rear subframe drop spacer kit to acheive a factory alignment on this suspension setup. We include the subframe drop in our 1.5" and 2" top hat spacer lift kits to ensure a good alignment and handling characteristics
@@rallitek_official would I need the drop frame spacer for only the +1" front and +3/4 inch rear overland springs blistein's for alignment purposes?
@@osiris85307 Nope, you will be good without the subframe drop spacer for that setup. You could add a 0.5" rear top hat spacer and still be ok as well.
@@rallitek_official Awesome! And thanks! I m excited for my new shocks to arrive! I also ordered the front and rear endlinks just in case. One more question... where can I get a sick winch like that?
@@osiris85307 You are welcome and thank you! The winch that we have on the front is a Warn ProVantage 4500 on a custom mount that we made using the factory crash beam. We sectioned the crash beam, plated it in and added a winch plate in the middle. It's been working great for us for 3 years now and quite a few pretty hard pulls.
Is that a 3.6 or 2.5?
The only thing Sabaru needs now is a low range gearbox.
Still blows my mind they don’t offer one in the US. I think they do in Australia.
@@Moosesoup I wonder if we can order a transmission from Australia for our US version?
What is the list of modifications where made to this outback?
Is this a 3.6R or the 4 cylinder? I didn’t find which engine it has
+CSRT4LYFE - It's the 4 cylinder 2.5i. See that it have no letters on the right side of the tailgate, below "OUTBACK":
ruclips.net/video/FW9OB0NARdk/видео.html
Only the 3.6R shows the engine version on the rear.
When we go offroad, are we supposed to reduce the tire pressure ?
Reducing the tire pressure or airing down helps make the tire softer, helps give additional traction and creates a good ride over rough terrain. The latest video that we posted, I had the car at 18 psi in all 4 tires and it was a little low for this tire and wheel combo on the trails that we ran, 20-22 would have been a better choice. You don't always have to air down but it certainly isn't a bad practice to start doing!
I wonder if the transmission ever overheated do all doing these exercises
We have been keeping an eye on that and have yet to see any issues with transmission heat even with the skid plates.
Does a lift kit exist for the 2022 outback XT model?
We have a few different options for that vehicle, you can view them here: rallitek.com/collections/all/outback-2022 or give us a call at 503-619-0055
Подскажите размерность колёс
is this with a manual transmission or a CVT?
It looks and acts like a manual
This car has a CVT
Completely new to Subaru's, I just bought a 2015 Outback 3.6R this past weekend. I'm scouring RUclips to learn about lifts and tire combinations to plan for purchase. I know in the world of Jeeps a spacer is low end budget with the preferred lift coming from a full spring. This combo lift is impressive but is that the case with Subies? And, is lifting an Outback stressing any other driveline components that we have to also consider upgrading such as driveshafts or increased drivetrain angles? Thank you.
Hi JT, you are correct about spacers in the Jeep world but in the Subaru world, because of the strut suspension and limited shock travel, spacers are a great way to get some lift out of your Subaru. Increasing spring length on a strut will take away down travel so we actually recommend a smaller amount of lift, under 1", from the spring and then a top hat spacer to achieve the desired lift height. Staying under a 2" lift keeps your CV axle angles within the working limit so there isn't a huge need for upgraded CV shafts, you are adding a little more stress to them with larger tires and a steeper angle but we haven't seen any adverse effects in the Outback shown in the video and we are getting ready to turn over 30,000 miles.
What wheels and rims are you running on this outback. I’m about to get a 2015 myself so I’d like to know what fits. Thx
looks like Falken Wildpeak AT3 on Method Race Wheels 501 VT-Spec - just a guess
They're the 17" Method MR501, 5x114.3. Very common wheel in the offroad Subaru world.
edit: Might be a smaller diameter...
No they’re 17’s. That’s the smallest wheel that will clear the calipers.
So how long will the CVT last?
Not very long if they continue offroading
While the CVT on the newer Subies leave something to be desired in a few areas, there are quite a few CVT Subarus in the wild that off-road on terrain like this quite often and have been doing so for years. I'm not sure there is any real world data to support the idea the the Subaru CVT isn't going to last with a lot of this type of driving.
My sister 2015 Forrester CVT was replace under warranty at 16k miles. It developed a whine. It has never been Offroad. I like the fuel economy and find them responsive. I hope my sister Case is the exception and not the rule.
Right, this is a known warranty issue with the early models, completely unrelated to how the vehicle is driven. This is the reason Subaru extended the warranty on the early CVTs.
A week
More info in the tires and rims please.
245/65-17 Falken Wild Peak AT3W tires on 17X8 Method MR501 wheels. Great combo for looks and all around traction.
Чего он тормозит, едь давай, ездок :D
what size tires are you running?
245/65-17 AT3W FALKEN
@@rallitek_official do you think those would fit on a 2018 without a lift? I need new tires soon but can’t argue the lift until after I sell my truck. I would be getting the Wildpeak Trails not the ATs since my off-roading is mostly rough dirt roads in Baja and 90% daily driver.
@@rallitek_officialdo you have any affiliates down in San Diego?
What brand and modell are the tyres on that?
They are Falken WildPeak AT3-W tires in a 245/65-17 size
RalliTEK Does this Outback have the same Bigger Calipers as the Forester XT? Curious because thinking of getting this tire size after I put in a 2” Lift.
is it 3.6R + hydro automatic?
No. 2.5 cvt.
Pain WA lol name is right on
I take it the Subie doesn't have a CVT, otherwise it would kill the power. So retrofitted auto box or manual? Wonder if they could make a skid plate for 2018 golf R. That product looks quality. I would definitely buy one. (protect the plastic sump!)
Its a cvt
Is it 3,6L or 2,5? I think that is 3,6... No chance with 2,5 with CVT...
It is a 2.5 CVT car! Gotta play with the buttons a bit but it's impressive what the car can do!
@@rallitek_official What a hell? Arent you affraid about chain slip causing transmition destrucrion? I would never think that this configuration can handle so much... Even i have older one without xmode...
@@MrRichieCZ We are definitely pushing the limits of the vehicle as a whole and have found them on our excursions. The most important part is knowing when you need to back off and try a little bit different line that is easier on the car. Paying attention to the terrain and the car is very important when you are playing!
So how is it that tfl car couldn't make it up the hill with this same umm suv? Hatchback?
Stock vs. Modded, thats how. Just my guess....
The TFL Outback was a feeble 4 cylinder with the standard CVT and OEM street tires (not to mention a driver that doesn't know how to drive off-road or that the driver wanted the Outback to fail). The more capable Outback has a 6 cylinder and uses a High Torque CVT. (EDIT: Actually, with this RalliTEK OB I only see one exhaust pipe and I don't see a 3.6 badge, so this may be the feeble 4 cylinder with the standard CVT. I have the 3.6 and love the CVT, it's great for off-road and on-road.)
Yup I have a 3.6R as well, and love mine. Now I need to get it lifted and add a skid plate like the one in the video. The TFL guys are idiots. You should listen to one of them say a 3.6R wouldn't make a difference because it is just more HP and torque is what is needed. Hello.. the 3.6r had the HT CVT AND 244 lb-ft vs 174 lb-ft on the 2.5 litter.
Did you see the TFL Outback vs. Goldmine Hill "Rematch" video? The kid drove the Outback up Goldmine Hill successfully.
The TFL guys are absolutely idiots but it’s not entirely they’re fault. Taking a new Subaru off road involves a learning curve if you’re going to get the most out of it. Also the 2.5 and 3.6 do not share the same gear ratios. The 3.6 is geared for MPG on the highway so its potentially worse off when it gets technical.
😮😯😯😲
Don’t get me wrong i love Subaru. But this is cute lol
My Chevy Metro would have zero issues in that terrain. No....I'm not kidding.
Are the transmission and diffs factory subaru?!?!?
Most likely yes. But I dont think that CVT is going to last very long.
@@thejoseandresshow all of those wheel lifts makes me think he has diff lockers... is that just Subaru's x-mode controlling power to wheels with torque split and brakes O_o
Correct. The CVT and the symmetrical AWD system is more than capable of sending power where it needs it and for long periods of time. The first gen CVT's had some issues out the gate. The 2018 has the gen 2 CVT.
@@bwats1991 would you consider the CVT more capable than their diesel MT offroad then?
Does this have lockers?
It does not, just using the traction control and X MODE in this video
RalliTEK sweet! MT or CVT? Either way great driver.
@@freedom_foz_6337 Thanks! We use the CVT in the RalliTEK Outback and Crosstrek, as it's a little more forgiving than a manual transmission.
is this cvt stock?😱
In the Outback it is. Such a shame...
I am sure this is challenging for a Subaru but wow this is really nothing for almost any other real SUV e.g. 4Runner, Pathfinder, Cherokee, etc. Not to mention my 20 year old Landcruiser. I wouldn't even put it in Low or lock any of the differentials. It would walk this stuff. Ok I do get 12 mpg but that is another topic.
John Romero my land rovers would also eat up that course without missing a beat, but that’s not really the point. My Outback was bought for winter use, driving rough tracks to get to rivers and lakes and to commute in comfort on a daily basis. It does 2 of those far better than my Landrover and one of those in more comfort. They are incredibly capable vehicles but I don’t believe anyone believes they are a replacement for a Landrover/landcruiser.
that's actually the entire topic
Would you just look at it
Is v6 this autback ?
It is the 2.5 4 cylinder
If youre dricing mostly logging roads these would be ideal, but doing this driving this type of driving, I say get a real 4wd and be done with it. While the outback can get around this course, its probabaly not easy on mechanics on the car, especially if your lifting wheels and coming down on them frequently.
Seriously. This was cool and all, but not necessarily the right tool for the job. For what was spent modding this car, one could buy a XJ Cherokee or 3rd gen 4Runner and cruise right over this stuff without even lifting a wheel. Also, it did NOT sound like this type of driving would be good for the Subaru tranny.
I can assure both of you if holds up just fine. Especially if you take the proper line to eliminate all the over embellished 3 wheeling.
For the mild offroader or "overlander" a Subaru is a great choice! Sure you can't do everything that a "real 4wd" can but they are surprisingly capable! If you respect that you are in a car and not expect it to keep up with a Jeep or other traditional 4wd you will have an awesome time in the woods. Even with all the 3 wheeling, the car doesn't seem to skip a beat. We have a local car that we built earlier this year and another car that we work with that are out wheeling with Jeeps, Tacomas, 4runners, etc. and they keep up with the groups quite well.
These guys got jokes
Those ralliTek guys really stuffed up. Steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car.......
Кузов не лопнул?
У субариков крепкий кузов
Looks pretty sweet but clearance is always gonna be an issue
I have a Subi and a yota.. They both serve their purpose and love them equally. But the reality of this video is these are pretty easy trails. The subi really cant touch my yota when the trails get difficult. I would wreck the subi trying to get up stuff the yota could do with ease..... Sorry. I own both. Just talking facts
how much oil did it burn during the drive?
This is like rally for geriatrics
I think this is pretty bad ass and I'm a huge Subaru fan but why go through all the mods on a car? Why not get a real truck or SUV. Stock would go through those kind of trail easy. I admit 3 wheeling looks cool but you really want all 4 wheels on the ground. My honest thought here not trying to bash or anything ✌🏼
Reason? My 15 Outback is lifted more than this and I still get 25mpg.
Drew Hawley and my bone stock Cherokee TrailHawk can do more than this, get 25-28mpg, tow more, and still has a warranty.
Why is he constantly stopping? Just drive the damn thing!!!
Right cut front and rear bumper get rid of both sways and go lol
Cause it's a cvt transmission if to much stress it will shut it down
Photo Op :D
Darrell Keasler+ Agreed. The CVT will protect itself by shutting down power.
It’s a demonstration and he is showing off. Plus, if you watch other off-road video, they drive slow and stop just like this guy.
Why not to buy a used Subaru
Duke jpf most of them are highway rides
Very easy for SUZUKI Jimny.
Stop babying that outback
For godsake people this vehicle is not designed for off-roading.
pass this onto the fast lane car guys
+Tony Gersbach - Everybody knows that "Fast Lane Car" guys are obviuos Subaru haters.
Why would you put this much into a Subaru to make it as good as a Jeep in 2wd?
Seriously. For the cost of the mods alone, you could pick up a XJ, ZJ, or WJ and do WAY more difficult terrain, easier.
because quality not cheap.
I think you're missing the point.
+Albert B - ruclips.net/video/mDkJJCoQdmE/видео.html
It's all about the adventure. One can argue that the Jeep is a better offroad platform but when your goal isn't to go rock crawling or run super rough and technical trails, a Jeep isn't really needed. Personally, I own a Jeep built for the rocks and I love it and what it's capable of but it makes a terrible adventure wheeler and can only take one other person with barely enough room for our gear for the day. The Outback is a surprisingly capable platform, as with the Crosstrek and Forester too, and will make people pay attention when it drives the same trail as other 4x4s.
awesome to see americans that are into Japanese engineering. whatever happened to Ford? no good for off-roading?
Watch at 1.5x speed, thank me later
That all seemed like it could've been easily tackled by any 4x4 with a novice driver. Almost looks like it was setup to show off the capabilty of the Subaru, but nothing more.
MetalMatt 1776 but what wagon can do that? And yes, the point was to show off the Subaru.
why so slow though???
Can't drive a Subaru with a cvt up a hill from what I've seen. Why Subaru?
Believe everything you see in videos barry goldwater?
Drew Hawley ruclips.net/video/WjmIke01KqE/видео.html
Drew Hawley when it's reasonably documented and evidenced and has been reported by multiple people yes, yes I do.
Well then you’re a fool because the TFL guys are idiots. Talk to people who regularly take their Subaru’s off road and you’ll get real world experience.
Drew Hawley huh, seems like I drive one pretty often, is it fake? that's why I was watching videos outlining the off-road capabilities of them, when they are equipped with a cvt they stall out, no forward motion, no tire spin, no room for axle articulation. All the obstacles in this video are a total joke. For snow on slick highways I'd pick a modern Subaru over just about anything, but for off-roading.... why don't you send me a video proving me wrong? Is it because you're an asshat?
This driver knows how the Subaru off road computers work. Hold the gas down and let the car figure out what it’s gonna do to get out of the situation. People driving Subaru’s let go of the gas pedal prematurely all of the time. It’s soo annoying
Pls link 4 all the accessories thanks
