      @@drivingsports Passport has been amazing! Thanks for your recommendation. Closest crossover/SUV with a single speed transfer case that gets close to truck like capability. Actually on some obstacles, the twin clutch rear differential is more capable than a ABS traction control 4WD without a rear locker.

    Mate, you are definitely the most entertaining car reviewer here. Excellent content, unbiased, and you really can show us what the cars are capable off without giving your personal emotions toward the model you are testing.
    Keep it like that!

      @JonDZ_Adventuring 3 года назад

      @@ericpizarro3084 I’ve witnessed so many things in the AWD offroad/overlanding scene. Because that surface is so loose, not many vehicles have a chance. As Ryan from DrivingsportsTV explained, A 4WD has its center differential mechanically locked so front and rear gets an even 50/50. A-trac then modulates ABS to send power left and right. It also has a low gear transfer case. Despite all that, the 4 runner struggled. That’s a hard obstacle. It’s not surprising the Crosstrek made little process up the hill. You’ll notice that the rear wheels got to the start of the climb (that’s not almost making it). The Outback wilderness is an improved Subaru, it’ll definitely be a little more capable than my old 2015 Subaru Forester XT with 262 tq

    Ryan, with all of that property, I highly recommend getting a medium-large size tractor with a 3 point hitch on the rear and a pto up front. With this you can get implements like a grader, rotovator, a rear hookup brush hog, a bucket up front. You are going to need this stuff to do basic upkeep even throughout the year. If you ever get stuck, a big 4x4 diesel tractor can pull you out and go anywhere. I know from experience lol. It will be a really good investment and addition to this new property! You are awesome for doing this and I LOVE your content!!

NOTHING against the trucks- I LOVE these things... I don't want a brand new ones-- don't like the changes.. .so I'd say- 2010-2022 would be good.. now to begin the search-- for a SOUTHERN owned one.. THEN- first thing I'll do is have the BOTTOM of it sprayed with BEDLINER (makes MUCH better protection than even the best military grade undercoating- and it WON"T flake off or come loose.)... THEN do wheels and tires- and a POWER STOP brake upgrade.. The rest I'll keep pretty much stock..

    I can only speak for myself , but when I buy a vehicle with off-roading in mind , even light off reading or if I live in a remote area what I do is outfit the vehicle for that purpose . Which will include a quality ground clearance lift . Then tires made for the off-roading conditions.Also a winch never hurts . Up to each individual . And most of the new 4 wheel drive vehicles made now have aftermarket options to help with whatever modifications the owner wants to make . But never think that any stock from the factory 4 wheel drive vehicle will take you everywhere you want to go . There are those who have learned some very expensive lessons thinking that way .

      You aren't wrong but the focus of this channel seems to be more along the line of testing vehicles in stock form so people have a better idea of the vehicles capabilities right off the assembly line. Very few people who buy something like a crossover to camp a couple times a year or just access trailheads are going to be interested in heavily modifying their vehicle. Makes more sense to just get the right vehicle for the job in the eyes of the average consumer or at least a livable compromise.
