00:00good morning from just outside Zion
00:02National Park here in Utah just
00:04yesterday we put this 2024 Subaru cross
00:06Treck Wilderness through its paces and
00:09it did a really good job but how is it
00:11on an epic road trip I'm going to load
00:13up the car and then I'm going to head
00:15out according to Google Maps that's
00:17about a 15 and 1/2 hour drive but I'm
00:19not going straight there along the way
00:21we're going to have some
00:26[Music]
00:28fun
00:33[Music]
00:46so yes I am driving away in the same
00:49vehicle that we spent all day yesterday
00:51filming uh we did sand roads and Offroad
00:54and a little Highway uh but in this
00:56video I am going to focus a lot on the
00:59driving the comp Comfort how well this
01:01vehicle is to live with every day cuz
01:03literally I'm going to live with it
01:04every day for the next couple days uh
01:06and then Subaru is actually letting us
01:08keep this for about 6 months uh so we'll
01:10have lots of opportunity to do snow
01:12testing um hill climbs all sorts of
01:15different fun things I'm really looking
01:18forward to it CU I I have a good feeling
01:20about this one I really like this
01:22vehicle I mean fact is I own a cross
01:24Trek Sport with a 2.5 L engine I know
01:27this motor it's a fine motor and
01:29actually here we're already at 4,500 ft
01:32so we're already at elevation which
01:34means that this engine isn't even
01:35running at its full capacity it's
01:37starved for oxygen so getting it back
01:40home to sea level yeah I'm going to look
01:41forward to
01:43that obviously between Utah and
01:46Washington State there's a lot of really
01:49good Adventure opportunities but there's
01:51one place that I've never been that I
01:53think I have an opportunity to hit while
01:55I'm driving back in this car and that is
01:58Craters of the Moon in Idaho um my
02:01grandmother actually lives in Idaho and
02:03I could swing by and say hi to Grandma
02:05uh and also see what crators of the Moon
02:08is really like now I know there's going
02:09to be some easy trails around there I
02:11don't know how much of a you know how
02:14taxing it'll be on this little cross
02:16Trek Wilderness but I think it is just
02:18the kind of Adventure I'm looking for on
02:20this boy how many
02:23miles on
02:25this basically 1500 mile
02:28Journey I have no idea how long this
02:31journey is because I don't know which
02:33way I'm going I will start by heading
02:35north though and I'm going to head to
02:36Salt Lake
02:38City onto the
02:42highway
02:44okay it's a couple thousand more miles
02:47of
02:50this man this is spectacular here look
02:54at those
02:57Cliffs I'm not going to adhere to any po
02:59particular format in this video I'm
03:01basically going to record when I feel
03:03there's something I want to say uh but I
03:05will check in every once in a while
03:07along the Route so basically sit back
03:10enjoy be ready for any major time jumps
03:13because oh yeah they're going to happen
03:16and at some point I might get tired and
03:17I might not make any sense so we'll see
03:19how this goes now my current leg of the
03:23trip is going to have send me to a place
03:25called kry Idaho which is just outside
03:28the craters of the Moon Monument
03:30uh so that's about 8 hours away of
03:33course we're going to have a few stops
03:34for gas um so yeah let's see that's
03:38going to put me there at about 6:30 p.m.
03:41tonight okay right before Sunset that
03:44might be
03:47nice wow this is beautiful cow guard
03:51okay
03:54okay so I don't know how much gas
03:56they've put in this car uh right now I'm
03:58just going to use the electronic
04:01calculator we'll reset
04:03that uh I want to reset my Odo my trip
04:07oh I just reset my trip and yeah let's
04:10see what kind of MPGs we get now it's
04:12currently reporting that I have 330
04:14miles remaining on my fuel tank and the
04:19gauge is showing full so let's see how
04:21far we can go and then after we get a
04:22fill up I'll start calculating based on
04:27Phillips oh funny thing about the Lane
04:29departure warnings on this car they
04:31sound just like a GoPro going off so I
04:34never know whether or not the beeps are
04:36my GoPro or the car I actually told the
04:38engineers that last night and they
04:40laughed and they're like yeah maybe we
04:42should change that so if they do change
04:44that that tone yeah you can thank
04:48[Music]
04:54me man it is um it's pretty empty out
04:58here Southern Utah yeah I kind of like
05:02it though the rocks are especially
05:04beautiful the mountains very nice how
05:07weird must have be to like live around
05:09mountains like this and then go
05:10somewhere else I mean it's like the
05:12drama of your uh environment is just
05:16gone and let's
05:19haul 35 40
05:2450 55 and 60 I will tell you this 4500
05:30ft is not doing this naturally aspirated
05:324cylinder any
05:36favors okay now we're cruising on 15
05:38North I'm just going to basically put it
05:40on cruise control we got adaptive cruise
05:43control going to turn on auto steering
05:46basically the car is driving itself now
05:49that's kind of nice got a whole state to
05:51blow through today so there we go oh
05:54yeah I forgot Utah we have 80 mph as a
05:56speed limit here on the highways or the
05:58major freeways here we go kick it
06:02up so in case you're wondering why I
06:05picked green and I did pick this green
06:07of all the available colors for the new
06:09cross Trek Wilderness I basically posted
06:11on social I'm hey guys what color do you
06:15like and uh it was pretty abundant
06:19everybody liked Green best so I picked
06:22green thank you for that and I think
06:25with this particular vehicle because of
06:27all the clading on the outside the green
06:28just works really well well um also I
06:30like that anti-reflective sticker on the
06:33hood I think it it just kind of makes
06:36the whole thing really come together
06:38this is just really just a nice looking
06:40version of the Cross trck and with the
06:42cladding I think there's certain colors
06:43that work and certain ones that don't I
06:45was surprised with in person the red
06:48looked better than I thought it would it
06:49looked really good actually so did the
06:51orange the white if you want to go full
06:53Stormtrooper look that's a good choice
06:56black of course you lose all of the
06:58cladding it doesn't have any it's not an
07:00accent so that's nice if you're not a
07:03fan of cladding just get black and you
07:05just have a vehicle that looks like it's
07:06a wide body uh and then let's see what
07:08are some of the other colors the
07:10blues the geyser blue which is the like
07:14trademark Wilderness color and it's
07:17available on all the different
07:18Wilderness models it's kind of a mix
07:20between green and blue it is not my
07:22favorite in this vehicle uh it does look
07:25nice but it's not one I would buy then
07:27there's the I think what do they call it
07:29Emerald
07:30blue prettyy color I actually really
07:32like the color but not on this car I
07:34just don't think it works very well on
07:36this car I think it looks much better on
07:38uh one of the road based cars not not
07:40one of the off-road cars so basically
07:43that leads me to silver or
07:46green those two I think are my
07:49favorites man this thing is smooth on
07:52the
07:53highway hardly any road noise on the
07:55outside you get a little wind on the
07:57mirrors but that just happen happens in
07:59pretty much all cars it's very quiet in
08:02here and that's one of the benefits of
08:03this new chassis it's not only more
08:05rigid it's also quieter on the highway
08:08and yeah this is this is nice the fact
08:10that this has mild allterrain tires yeah
08:12I don't even hear them it's just
08:18smooth okay no talking more
08:22[Music]
08:25driving I've now been driving for 1087
08:29miles time to report mileage now I will
08:33be doing calculations based on refills
08:35later uh right now I don't know exactly
08:37how full the tank was so I am merely
08:39reporting what the computer is saying
08:41and it's saying 26.5 MPGs you're
08:44probably saying hey Ryan aren't the MPGs
08:47on this vehicle 29 according to the EPA
08:51well yes that's true it's 29 Highway and
08:5325 City however I'm driving through Utah
08:57and Utah's speed limits on their freeway
08:59is 80 so this is not exactly an optimal
09:02MPG situation uh but I think that I'm
09:05actually pretty happy with that figure
09:07given how fast we're driving here I did
09:10take a look at the map to see how long
09:12it would take me to get to Salt Lake
09:13City and I think what I'm going to do is
09:15stop in the town of Mona uh Utah for
09:19lunch because it's kind of in a nice
09:21spot up between here and there so with
09:24the adaptive cruise control system of
09:25this car it's actually really easy to do
09:27longdistance driving uh because B
09:29basically the vehicle handles the heavy
09:31work I basically set my target
09:34speed hit the little steering wheel icon
09:37so once I set that um I'll take my hands
09:39off just so you can see how it's
09:40centering Us in the lane as we're even
09:43going around corners if it gets too
09:45twisty of course it'll shut down this
09:46isn't really a hands-free system but
09:49what it does do is it does all the
09:51steering for you so your arms basically
09:54just can relax while you're driving
09:56which is really good for Interstate
09:57travel it really cuts down on fatigue um
10:00it's really surprising what all those
10:02little adjustments over hundreds and
10:04hundreds of miles uh can do it actually
10:07makes driving kind of more tired so just
10:10like cruise control gives you a chance
10:11to you know relax your legs um Lane
10:14centering allows you to you know relax
10:16your arms which is pretty
10:18nice so MPGs have improved slightly um
10:21over this last leg I think I'm not
10:23climbing up quite so much and I'm now
10:25looking at 27.7 MPGs according to the
10:28computer
10:30one thing to keep in mind also is that
10:31we're over 6,000 ft of elevation which
10:34makes it difficult for a naturally
10:36aspirated motor to breathe if you have a
10:38turbo obviously that compressor can help
10:40compensate for the lack of oxygen in the
10:43atmosphere uh but this one actually it's
10:44doing pretty good I'm cruising along
10:46here on this 80 mph Highway doing
10:49exactly the speed limit uh and the
10:52vehicles you know pretty calm it's
10:54relaxed it's doing
10:572,400 23 300 RPM it's quiet yeah I'm
11:02liking this this is fun check out what
11:05we have here it looks like a first
11:07generation Forerunner possibly and oh
11:10mercy that is a suspension
11:14mod it's a bit
11:16much dang I bet that thing is fun
11:27though
11:2930 minutes away from
11:31lunch in
11:34Mona I mean passing power is okay in the
11:37car it's not great but it definely
11:40definitely has plenty enough of oomph to
11:42be able to get past around vehicles that
11:44are moving slowly um of course you know
11:47like I was saying it's penalized based
11:50on altitude that doesn't help uh but you
11:53know no real complaints here for the
11:56money I think that this engine is just
11:58fine
12:00would I prefer a turbo
12:05yeah but then you're adding complexity
12:08you're adding cost and what would you
12:11pay 40 grand for a a Subaru cross Trek I
12:15don't know if people
12:16would at least not enough of
12:19them okay exiting into the town of
12:27Mona this does not look very
12:36big good Jun I always like when there's
12:38cattle guards when you get off the
12:44freeway find the nearest fast food
12:48place one option is Mel and backet
12:51burgers on South Main Street mels sure
12:54let's do mels how do I get to
12:57mels
13:01oh I think I see it let's do
13:05that oh maybe that's Mount neibo that's
13:07tall that's that's a mountain okay
13:11sneaky Mountain there we go mels burgers
13:14fries open sure let's do
13:25that I to say uh mels I think it's
13:28called Mel's restaurant or Mel's burgers
13:31or
13:32whatever BLT really
13:35good okay looking for Mona Pole road
13:39where is
13:41that looking for Mona Pole Road and
13:45there it
13:49is actually it's called 2300
13:54North is the actual
13:57Road
13:59wow that is a big mountain now on the
14:02charts it looks like it goes all the way
14:04up to 12,000 ft roughly um the big one
14:08on the right uh the one on the left I
14:10think only goes up to about 11,000 ft
14:12and we're going to take a road that
14:13basically goes right up
14:16it um the entire Loop would take several
14:21hours I don't really have that so I'm
14:23just going to try to get up to a nice
14:24Viewpoint call it good and then get back
14:26on the highway and head north
14:29and also I need to note that I don't
14:31have a ton of gas I'm just below a half
14:33tank which shows that according to the
14:36computer here it gives me 200 mil of
14:39[Music]
14:40range oh this is the road okay road goes
14:45this
14:46way this is why I really like driving
14:49vehicles that are good on the highway
14:50but then also can do some you know light
14:52off-roading is it really gives you an
14:54opportunity to kind of experience an
14:57area a little bit more than just just
14:59passing through like I'm going to go up
15:01that mountain I want to see what that
15:02Mountain's like if I was driving a Prius
15:05yeah I probably wouldn't do
15:13[Music]
15:16that okay this looks like the trail head
15:19and to the
15:22right it starts to get more challenging
15:25now I'll have to be really careful
15:27because I mean these these are trail
15:29tires they're not rugged heavyduty
15:32off-road tires it is quite possible that
15:34I could get a puncture on one of these
15:35sharp rocks and the Rocks do look pretty
15:38pointy here this is definitely different
15:41terrain than what we had out near Zion
15:44that's for sure gosh it looks like they
15:47just carved this out of a gravel
15:50[Music]
15:52pit very
15:54Rocky we do have a spare tire but it is
15:58a temporary spare and I don't really
16:00want to drive all the way back to
16:01Washington state with a temporary so we
16:04got to be super careful here in fact I
16:08might let's see how this goes I might
16:10drop pressure if these rocks continue to
16:13be this
16:14Jagged so far I'm just cruising along in
16:17regular mode no reason to put X mode on
16:18yet we go up and then we go down I think
16:22I'll take this opportunity to air down a
16:24little bit do a compromise air down
16:29maybe just go down to about a little
16:31above 20 so I don't always air down on
16:34Trails but these rocks are very Jagged
16:36and sharp and I just have so much more
16:39of a journey ahead of me I just don't
16:40want to risk it so I'm going to air them
16:42down a little
16:45bit of course these tires are Yokohama
16:48geolander all terrains the g015 model
16:51and they are Peak rated for snow which
16:54is nice they're a 22560 R17 and I
16:57actually really like this this wheel
16:58design I think it looks
17:06great so the idea here is that you're
17:09basically uh deflating the balloon like
17:11just like a fully inflated balloon if
17:13you prick it it'll pop easier uh same
17:15thing with tires so I'm deflating it so
17:17that it's going to have a little more
17:18elasticity in the
17:21sidewall okay think we're ready to go
17:24now if I look at the gauge cluster here
17:26I can go to my TPMS report it look like
17:28everything is around 20
17:34[Laughter]
17:37[Music]
17:41psi got to keep track of time CU I want
17:43to make sure that I don't um get stuck
17:46up here after dark and I have plenty of
17:49time to get back to town and get on our
17:52way that's a that's a pretty steep drop
17:53by the
17:56way so the
17:59the Subaru cross TR here has 9.3 in of
18:01ground clearance and yes it does have a
18:04skid plate on the front but it's very
18:06small I don't honestly think it's going
18:08to save any kind of major impacts let's
18:13put the wheel let's put it right there
18:15on that rock oh there was some oh hey
18:18starting to slip time to put on X mode I
18:20think yep
18:23let's looks like I have to do a little
18:25Trail Improvement
18:27here
18:29cuz uh that's more than 9.3
18:37in
18:39okay if I start huffing and puffing it's
18:42cuz we're going up to 12,000 ft
18:45obviously we're going not going that
18:47high but we started at 6 so this might
18:50be like seven maybe eight I don't
18:53know it's tiring that's what it is okay
18:56rock out of the way
18:58oxygen depleted on we
19:03go so I'm going to turn on X
19:06mode I would prefer a dedicated X mode
19:09button instead of having to go into the
19:11screen okay so I'm in snow dirt
19:14mode which should make for more
19:18aggressive wheel
19:20locking as I continue to progress up
19:25this very Rocky Road once we get moving
19:28here
19:29yeah we got
19:42[Music]
19:48this wow those are some awesome looking
19:55[Applause]
19:57rocks
20:00this is
20:01rough pretty confident though we can get
20:03up it the biggest issue is if there's
20:05going to be a big boulder that's simply
20:07too large to get past in the
20:09way also going to try to avoid any uh
20:12pin striping on the
20:17side let's keep it steady throttle slow
20:20and steady doing about 5 miles an hour
20:22maybe 4 and three between 3 and
20:25[Music]
20:275
20:38okay it's getting a little narrow here
20:40with uh trees and branches this is where
20:43having a small vehicle is really
20:46beneficial uh obviously something like a
20:48gmz Denali yeah this would we would have
20:50had to turn around back there or
20:52completely sacrificed our paint job one
20:54or the other hug the inside here now the
20:58way X mode works is that with
21:00symmetrical all-wheel drive it actually
21:02does detect the surface and it makes
21:04adjustments and it has to learn the
21:06surface so keeping throttle going and
21:10keeping movement forward actually makes
21:13this system much more effective if you
21:15stop completely like we often do for
21:17testing it has to relearn but I think
21:19it's kind of fascinating to see how fast
21:21it can relearn in those conditions so
21:24right here I am just keeping it steady
21:26and it is doing an amazing job this is a
21:29very very difficult
21:32Trail this is about as hard as I think a
21:35Subaru owner would probably attempt in
21:38most
21:40cases but with 9.3 in we're doing pretty
21:44good but I still don't want to go too
21:46fast because we don't have any real
21:48underbody protection on this thing just
21:50that little strip of aluminum in the
21:51front which I already dented yesterday
21:54just a little
21:57dent
21:59H is that R 9.3 in do I want to bet it
22:03is I think it'll actually tip over when
22:05we hit
22:08it didn't hit it oh there it
22:13goes ooh Boulders okay this is becoming
22:17technical
22:19now where approach breakover all of that
22:22comes into
22:24play I'm glad I aired down oop oh oh
22:29come on keep that traction
22:31going this is surprisingly difficult
22:34right there okay there we go we're
22:36moving we're
22:38moving it just detected a object in
22:41front of me so that's always
22:43fun
22:45o this is very loose and very big
22:49boulders so I'm not
22:54stopping man this is this is really
22:57incredible that that this little cross
22:59trck can get up this
23:01stuff oh oh come on come
23:05on come on feeling that X mode kicking
23:09in
23:12hard if you haven't watched any of our
23:14other videos on X mode uh there's the
23:17two different types of X mode snow dirt
23:19and then deep snow mud deep snow mud
23:21actually adds additional wheel spin it
23:24actually you know spins the wheels more
23:26so it reduces traction control
23:28to give you more momentum going through
23:30difficult objects like mud or deep snow
23:34first level just turns on the system to
23:37be um more aggressive in wheel breaking
23:39shifting it left to right you still get
23:41some wheel spin of course because it's
23:43based on that technology but it is very
23:46aggressive in shifting that
23:50power more aggressive than many other
23:52vehicles in this
23:54category Subaru says it's because
23:56they've overbuilt their system system to
23:58be able to deal with the shock to the
24:00system of the power
24:02transfer um in my experience that seems
24:05to hold
24:10true there's a little turnaround spot
24:12good we got a few of those oh my gosh we
24:14got more rocks
24:18here okay let's not damage the frame on
24:21the first day
24:23here let's keep it moving keep it moving
24:26keep it moving whoop getting it we're
24:28getting
24:29it you know what I'm shocked with how
24:31little undercarriage I'm hitting I've
24:34hit what one rock this whole trip that
24:36is pretty amazing of course that'll
24:38change now that I actually called it out
24:39oh yeah we got some big pointy ones
24:41right here that are huge Boulders
24:43planted in the ground maybe do a little
24:45pin striping on the
24:47right
24:50yeah okay there we go up and
24:53over another turnaround spot possibly
24:56that's good
24:59okay moving
25:03on Wow We Are Burning through gas
25:06actually our MPGs have dropped
25:07dramatically and we're down to a quarter
25:09tank but the good news is it's all
25:11downhill when we're done so I could just
25:14roll down
25:17technically looks like dirt first dirt
25:20I've seen in a
25:22[Music]
25:25while Collision detected always
25:28oh we're on dirt now oh this is
25:32nice watch for pin striping still of
25:38course little striping on the side
25:46there the terrain has definitely changed
25:48I feel like I'm kind of more in the
25:49forest now not on a ravine Edge
25:56Ravine oh this is pretty I'm like in a
25:58little Aspen Grove
26:02huh o an opening haven't had an opening
26:04in a
26:06while Aspen Grove clear
26:13nice well this is
26:18spectacular this is a very high Valley
26:22it's really
26:23cool I think we'll stop here turn around
26:26and then head back Let's uh get out and
26:29take a quick
26:45look there a glacier up there Aspens
26:48around there beautiful
26:51grasses it's like it's not real right
26:54this is
26:55amazing hate to say it but I got got to
26:57turn around and go back because I got to
26:59get back on the
27:15road when I uh engage X mode it
27:17automatically enables Hill descent
27:19control which is actually really useful
27:21on a road like this where it's very
27:23Steep and very slippery I don't want to
27:25roll on the rocks so when I keep my foot
27:28on the throttle it'll keep the speed
27:30that I'm rolling at uh put my foot on
27:33the brake stop completely release it and
27:35it'll start easing me at the slowest
27:37speed it can which is about 2 mph now
27:40one thing that is new on this cross
27:42truck Wilderness is it grabs immediately
27:46no longer historically there's like a
27:475ot roll before the um Hill descent
27:50control kicks in this one it's immediate
27:53it's like probably an eighth of a turn
27:56on the wheel uh which which is much much
27:58much much much better than the old Hill
28:00descent
28:11control ezing it down so I drove up at
28:15about about 3 miles per hour I'm going
28:17down about 3 miles hour there are some
28:20big rocks here I actually just passed a
28:22family who are on a quad and they looked
28:25at me like what stop chatted with the
28:28gentleman who was riding uh driving it
28:31and uh he said you came up in that I
28:36said yes yes I did and now I'm going
28:40down well it's going to be this for the
28:41next hour so uh let's just go ahead and
28:44fast forward assuming this all goes fine
28:47and uh we'll pick up with me on the
28:49highway I am back on the freeway I put
28:53gas in the car I aired up the tires and
28:55I even found a car wash so
28:58it's clean kind of now in terms of
29:00damage what happened on that route
29:02because it was a very very Rocky climb
29:06well there's definitely a couple
29:07scratches on the wheels and there
29:09apparently a twig or something reached
29:11out and grabbed right by the headlight
29:13but overall I'd say that it's pretty
29:15normal for the type of Adventure we just
29:18did and the fact that this vehicle got
29:21up that climb and as I was coming down
29:23all the people on their quads going what
29:25the heck you have this car out here what
29:28are you thinking it just tells me that
29:32this car is very capable and man that
29:35was a beautiful field that was
29:37definitely worth the side Adventure well
29:40now I'm pressing on to Idaho um not sure
29:43how long it'll take to get there NAB
29:45says it's going to be about 5 hours or
29:48so uh so yeah guess going to put it on
29:51adaptive cruise control with Lane
29:53centering turn that on Kick Back
29:58and
30:00drive so I've just been driving along
30:02here it's now been almost 78 miles since
30:04I filled up the tank and I just noticed
30:08I'm averaging 29 mil to the gallon
30:10according to the computer here now my
30:11driving has been much slower than the
30:13first leg when I was getting a lower MPG
30:16uh but it's interesting I've been doing
30:18a lot of stop and go which usually isn't
30:20very good for MPGs yet here I am getting
30:23the actual Highway estimated MPGs which
30:27is great um I'm averaging between 70 75
30:31mph which is definitely slower than 80
30:33and that difference seems to really make
30:36an improvement in the
30:38MPGs this gets such good range uh
30:41because it's now calculating that my
30:44total tank to empty is about 350 mil and
30:49I still have 178 miles to get my to my
30:52hotel tonight at which point it will be
30:54very dark so I'm not going to film at
30:56that point uh in fact the sun's going
30:58kind of going down now it'll be sunset
31:00in probably about an hour um but man
31:03been driving all day still
31:06comfortable looking forward to another
31:08adventure tomorrow and uh we're going to
31:10continue this
31:13drive uh but at this point I think we're
31:15going to probably Fade to Black and pick
31:17up with
31:26tomorrow
31:28[Music]
31:44good morning and you might notice this
31:47is no longer a highway that's right I'm
31:50taking a uh shortcut um up to the Valley
31:53of the Moon here in Southern Idaho and I
31:56decided to to go through some uh Bureau
31:59of Land Management land and this road is
32:03awesome of course last night I did find
32:05a hotel had a good night's sleep and
32:08then woke up this morning and filled up
32:10the tank of this car and I did calculate
32:12the mileage from that last Highway track
32:14and because we were doing you know the
32:16speed limit posted was 80 M an hour plus
32:19on top of that there was some sto and go
32:21uh so I was averaging 23 mil to the
32:24gallon so there is a penalty of of
32:27course with having uh extra ground
32:29clearance and also having um alterate
32:32tires telling me my pressure is low oh
32:35cuz it's so cold out my pressure
32:37temperature has my pressure tire
32:39pressures have dropped because uh yeah
32:42we're all the way down to 28 now on all
32:44Corners simply because it's rather cold
32:47out and that's actually pretty good
32:49because uh this is really rough and
32:52having a little softer Tire isn't so bad
32:55so that worked out
32:58the route here is going to take us uh
33:00basically over roads like this for the
33:03next hour roughly I do have to look for
33:06these mud pits to make sure that I
33:09don't bottom out uh between Tire grooves
33:13and I also have to look for errant rocks
33:15and trenches because of course this is
33:17not really that wellmaintained it is
33:20just for Access into uh the
33:24property and it's going to switch
33:25between a lot of rocks some washboard
33:28some gravel mud and really really hard
33:31mud I guess that would just be called
33:33dirt but you know what I
33:36mean I like these bypasses got to watch
33:38these bypass the bypasses really test
33:40clearance
33:41[Music]
33:45here so far car is doing fantastic so
33:50good on the highway really good on roads
33:52like this I
33:54mean you know if I'm going to find fault
33:57with this vehicle I think it's mostly a
34:00visual thing like some people aren't
34:02going to like the cladding just it is
34:05what it is um also you know at this
34:08price point a front camera they should
34:10have done it um other things I'd like to
34:12see added to it are like a crawl Control
34:14Function that would be neat um but the
34:17improvements in the hill descent control
34:19system uh improvements in the Safety
34:21Systems I mean they really have evolved
34:23the product uh making it even better I I
34:25see no missteps here um in terms of the
34:29product that is offered and of course
34:32yeah the tires could be more aggressive
34:33but this is a great balance for a lot of
34:36buyers not everybody needs a ko2
34:42right okay oh yeah this is great man
34:45this suspension is pretty good now you
34:47could argue that the vehicle needs
34:49adaptive suspension so it really loosen
34:51up on this hard stuff but I would argue
34:54that that just adds unnecessary
34:55complexity um I think that this default
34:59springing and damping is just right in
35:02there I mean it's perfect it's so smooth
35:04on even this rough stuff uh yet it's
35:07fairly compliant on the highway right
35:10you're just not going to get that
35:11corners on Rails feeling uh that you get
35:14with a WRX and that's okay this is
35:16actually way more comfortable and I was
35:19also thinking of altering the finish
35:20line for this video originally I just
35:22said Seattle but I'm not actually going
35:24to Seattle I don't even live in Seattle
35:25I live out on the peninsula uh but I'm
35:27thinking that a good finish line for
35:30this will actually be our off-road test
35:32course uh which is near Ellensburg
35:35Washington that will definitely uh be a
35:39good place to stop this and then
35:44start an off-road test course
35:47video get a two for
35:49one and for those of you asking hey does
35:52this guy ever shave uh actually I landed
35:55and I had forgotten my Razor on my last
35:59trip and I decided you know what no
36:02razor no problem I'm just going to be
36:04Shaggy until I get to the last day of
36:07this video so uh yeah still Shaggy a
36:11little salt and pepper going on there
36:13not going to keep it
36:17[Music]
36:25though
36:29[Music]
36:41[Music]
36:48even though it's not wet or rainy there
36:50is still some deep mud around here uh
36:53simply because these puddles can't all
36:55be bypassed although this one can so
36:58let's bypass it and the
37:01m and for those of you watching saying
37:04run through the puddle I I'm kind of
37:05with you on that but this kind of mud
37:09there's different types of dirt
37:10different types of mud uh this mud is
37:12very very sticky and slippery if I get
37:15stuck I have no way of recovering out
37:17here because I am by myself um and uh
37:21yeah don't want to have to deal with
37:23that that would really mess up my
37:25schedule but if you do have to go
37:28through some of those mud things and I
37:29have had to go through a couple of them
37:31um just want to keep a steady throttle
37:33as you go to uh no lifting uh keep it
37:37moving and if in doubt use x mode deep
37:41mud uh cuz that'll help keep the wheels
37:43spinning while still applying braking uh
37:46to keep you moving forward so it's
37:48that's a good thing that's a good
37:50perfectly acceptable time to use x mode
37:53so I am heading to a national monument
37:55called Craters of the Moon here in in
37:57southeast Idaho I've never been there
37:59but I have flown over it so this is
38:01officially fly over country um I have
38:03flown over it in airplanes and I'm like
38:05that looks really cool so I want to at
38:07least drive by it and kind of see what
38:08it looks like from the surface and this
38:12road actually goes right in between uh
38:15sections of the craters of the Moon so I
38:18expect the terrain will get rockier at
38:20some point I don't know we'll see we'll
38:22see what nature holds for us
38:25here got to watch with these arant rocks
38:28lots of birds out
38:41too ooh mdy let's just go through
38:45it okay now that we've actually hit some
38:48pretty smooth gravel roads here oh some
38:52surprising rocks in the middle um I can
38:54talk about driving fast on gravel roads
38:57so never overdrive what your
38:59capabilities are and constantly scan the
39:01road for uh things that might cause
39:03problems like rocks uh branches Wildlife
39:06that kind of stuff um you don't want to
39:09break while you're going into the corner
39:10you want to break before the corner and
39:12then you want to throttle through the
39:13corner what that does is basically when
39:15you're about to go into the corner if
39:16you put the brakes on it puts all the
39:18weight onto the front of the vehicle if
39:20you throttle it puts the weight on the
39:23back of the vehicle and that affects
39:24your grip so if I come into a corn and I
39:27slam my brake on and then twist it it's
39:29going to kick that back out a little bit
39:31because all the weight is on the front
39:33wheels there's nothing over the back uh
39:35that's one way to actually create a
39:37rotation if you want to do that uh but
39:40if you're trying to stay level and flat
39:43then you don't want to do that so just
39:45keep in mind that the balance is
39:46actually very important in the handling
39:47of a vehicle especially when on a loose
39:50surface like gravel and the same thing
39:52actually applies to
39:55snow so these tires are actually really
39:58good in these conditions I feel like I
40:00have adequate control I'm not going to
40:02say grip because it's gravel you just
40:04don't have a lot of grip everything's
40:05rly poly uh but I feel like I can
40:08actually drive pretty briskly here and
40:10then when I have a blind Crest I
40:11definitely slow down cuz I don't know
40:13what's on the other side and then I go
40:14into the corner add a little throttle
40:17and the Subaru shifts that power to the
40:18back and boom out of the hole we pop it
40:21is such a fun car to drive and really
40:23this vehicle it has the feel of a little
40:26rally car right out of the box you don't
40:28need to set up anything with it uh to go
40:31out and have some fun now again I want
40:33to emphasize never overdrive your
40:35capabilities never go beyond um you know
40:39what you're what you consider to be safe
40:41and I consider this speed to be pretty
40:43safe for me because I have hundreds of
40:44thousands of miles of driving roads just
40:46like this um but yeah this thing this
40:50thing is super fun it's quiet too and
40:53the suspension is great I mean really
40:55this car is blowing me away I thought it
40:58would be basically a cross Trek Sport
41:01with a little extra ground clearance and
41:03a lot of body clading I was wrong this
41:06car is very different from this standard
41:09cross Trek and I love it it is it takes
41:12everything that's good with the cross
41:13Trek and just basically makes it better
41:17and pretty significantly so if you're
41:19going to use it as a commuter car in
41:20this occasionally go to a trail head
41:23obviously just stick to the regular
41:24cross trk but if you crave it Venture
41:26and long roads and you want to take the
41:27shortcut and avoid the highway this
41:31cross Trek will get you to places you
41:33may not have been able to get to
41:43before got to watch rocks around the
41:45corners we're starting to get towards uh
41:47Craters of the Moon so the Rocks here
41:49are uh more plentiful on the route so
41:52it'll be smooth smooth smooth and then
41:54boom Granite right in the middle of the
41:55road I I don't know if it's granted but
41:57some big piece of rock so I got to watch
41:59for those if I clip one of those with
42:01these tires then uh I'm
42:05walking don't want to do that I mean I'm
42:07not walking I do have a spare tire in
42:09the back it's just that it's not a uh
42:10exact swap so I'd have to get out swap a
42:12tire that's no fun yeah those guys are
42:16sharp
42:17looking looks like we're almost up to
42:20the actual Monument here or at least
42:22close to the monument making good
42:25progress making good time
42:32onward I have to put in a word about the
42:34stability control on this vehicle I am
42:36just driving with normal stability
42:38control right now and I think it's
42:40actually really nice I can feel what the
42:42vehicle is doing before it becomes too
42:44intrusive I'm not like coming into a
42:46corner and then having traction control
42:48clamp me down and then cause me to like
42:50under steer off the side like right
42:52there I just had a little bit of balance
42:54in the back shift out I can feel what
42:57the car is doing but I never really get
42:58in over my head of course if you make
43:01aggressive enough of movements you can
43:04always uh counter any Safety Systems
43:07especially if you're flying upside down
43:09so again caveat be careful careful be
43:14careful these rocks are starting to get
43:16really big on the sides um slide into
43:19one of those and boom that cladding
43:21ain't going to help at
43:25all
43:27[Music]
44:09hello haven't quite gotten into Montana
44:11yet that should be coming up here real
44:13shortly endless Rolling Hills out here
44:16Eastern Idaho is uh pretty sparsely
44:20populated yeah not a lot going on over
44:25here
44:27so many bugs on my
44:32windshield I need to find a car wash at
44:34some point I want to spray the mud off
44:36so it doesn't damage the
44:38paint can't leave that on too
44:42long well that's a cool bridge what's
44:45that going on over
44:53there uh rail crossing bridge that's
44:59why now entering the Continental Divide
45:03elevation 6,870 ft
45:09Montana so let's see been driving uh to
45:1211 about 4 and a half maybe 5 hours and
45:16uh still comfortable doing
45:18good I do want to get lunch though and
45:21there's a spot that looks pretty good
45:23coming up it's called the old
45:24schoolhouse Cafe in Dell Montana I don't
45:29know I don't really know where I am
45:32let's give it a
45:39try Town Adell population 35 elevation
45:456,7
45:47ft and uh that is where I'm going to eat
45:50some
45:51lunch trains
45:54okay oh this will be
46:10perfect nice
46:17touch cash only yeah I can do
46:22that like a bowl of chili to go with you
46:25for lunch
46:28[Music]
46:37all the people in Dell seem very nice
46:40very chatty although getting lunch SL
46:44breakfast did eat a lot of my time up
46:48and the only reason I'm really in a
46:49hurry is I'm trying to meet dinner with
46:51my Grandma at 5:00 p.m. in
46:54cordelane
46:58oh and then of course I mentioned to one
46:59family member that I was actually going
47:01to be going through cordel Lane to go
47:04meet my grandmother and now the whole
47:06family wants to get together which is
47:08great happy to see them but I was like
47:10oh H
47:12scheduling I should have scheduled more
47:14time in celan
47:16clearly now we're finally getting some
47:19landscape that looks a little bit more
47:20like Montana craggy rocks rising up from
47:24the valley love it
47:26look at that one on the left there just
47:28actually all these rock formations just
47:30look
47:43amazing and finally jumping on to I90
47:47here which will take me all the way
47:50west but first I have a stop in Missoula
47:54to have coffee with my nephew
47:56still feeling pretty comfortable this
47:58thing is really just a road trip Warrior
48:02it
48:03is really nice yeah trying to find some
48:07flaws here not finding any really I mean
48:10not without like constructing something
48:12ridiculous like you know the whole
48:14adaptive suspension or whatever but
48:17other than the things I've already
48:18mentioned yeah this is uh this is good
48:24stuff
48:31and floor it come
48:38on apparently I'll be sitting in traffic
48:40for a while in
48:45Montana I think one thing that really
48:47surprises me about this vehicle is just
48:48how quiet and composed it is at high
48:51speeds I mean that long stretch back
48:53there was 80 M well it was posted as 80
48:56M an hour and it was a Brisk
48:59jaunt and uh the vehicle felt really
49:02planted on the ground it was very quiet
49:04there was very little road and or wind
49:06noise it's just it's such a kind of a
49:09premium Driving Experience for a vehicle
49:13that is this small and you know from
49:15Subaru not from like Lexus or Mercedes
49:18or anything like
49:21that I'm I'm just I mean I've driven a
49:23ton of Subarus but I am still very
49:25impressed by this little car it's
49:27flooring me it really
49:29is I was hoping to hit a car wash but it
49:32looks like I might not need to because
49:34it started to rain just as I'm outside
49:37Missoula
49:41nice although this isn't nearly hard
49:43enough I need a real downpour to get the
49:45mud off of this thing if the ring gets
49:47harder we'll see how these allterrain
49:49tires deal with wet
49:51cement on the highway that's nice
49:56boy we're discovering so much about this
49:58vehicle on this
50:00trip the Japanese have a term called I
50:02think it's I'm going to butcher this
50:04Juma atai something like that which mean
50:07Horse and Rider as one and Mazda uses it
50:11to describe the experience that you get
50:13when you drive a Miata and i' say
50:16they're right I mean very few cars have
50:18that kind of Horse and Rider as one
50:20feeling as a Miata of
50:23course a Miata is about the size of a
50:26horse so that helps but this car right
50:28here I think is the first time that I've
50:31driven a crossover and kind of got a
50:34Juma a tie Juma anyway get the whole
50:37Horse and Rider as one thing with a
50:40crossover and typically I think the
50:42issue is the way most crossovers handle
50:45uh and all the compromises that they
50:47make now granted this isn't a Horse and
50:49Rider is one as though going around you
50:52know Laguna sea racetrack no but this is
50:54in everyday circumstances I feel like
50:57the seat just really fits me well I feel
51:00like I understand where all the wheels
51:02are and my clearances I mean this is a
51:05boxer motor so you can only do so much
51:07with the approach angle um cuz the motor
51:09kind of hangs out there and it's mounted
51:11pretty low which of course helps with
51:14handling uh but it causes problems for
51:17approach but like on the first day of
51:20this road trip I hit that Rocky climb no
51:23issues I literally only two Bonks on the
51:26underside of this vehicle and those were
51:29some very big rocks it was a very steep
51:32climb but the reason I didn't have any
51:33issues is because when picking a line I
51:35felt like I really understood where this
51:38vehicle was and what it could
51:41do that is rare that is very rare
51:44especially in today's world where you're
51:47so reliant on sensors and cameras and
51:50just everything to get you through
51:52complicated situations this one it just
51:55just felt like like an extension of
51:58myself climbing up that hill and even
52:01today bombing through the valley there
52:03in South
52:05Idaho driving down the gravel briskly I
52:10really felt like I had a lot more
52:11control in this vehicle than I usually
52:14do in a crossover usually you're kind of
52:16fighting with the crossover because it
52:18wants to really under steering the
52:20corners and the tires just can't really
52:23deal with gravel that well but this one
52:26again it just does and I'm kind of
52:28shocked that it does both of those
52:30things so well I mean you definitely get
52:32that whole offro you know where
52:34everything is feeling with a Jeep
52:36Wrangler but put a Jeep Wrangler on the
52:38highway and it's not a great experience
52:41heck put it on a gravel road at speed
52:43not a great experience this one it just
52:46does all of these things so well this
52:50vehicle I still think you should
52:52consider it if the size works for you
52:53because it really is is
52:56just it's really great it really is and
53:00I'm going to ruminate on that a little
53:01bit more cuz we're not quite done yet we
53:03have to get out of Montana back into
53:05Idaho and over to our off-road test site
53:08uh in central Washington before we
53:10really wrap this up so I'm going to
53:12ruminate on that idea with this car as I
53:17continue with my journey but right now
53:20I'm exiting here in Missoula to go meet
53:22up with my nephew and get some coffee
53:25because it's definitely coffee
53:28[Music]
53:34o' okay so I just had pie and coffee
53:36with my nephew uh I was at break
53:40espresso uh and I had the mixed berry
53:42pie it was quite good although note to
53:45the proprietor would have been better
53:46with ice cream pie is always better with
53:48ice cream but the pie itself quite good
53:52actually the coffee was pretty good too
53:54okay now I'm going to get back into
53:57the carplay system here we're going to
54:00get maps up and now it's time to find
54:03our way to
54:06cordelane rain clouds have definitely
54:09moved in so let's go a and open this up
54:10get a little more light on the
54:12subject Right Moving On In The Rain now
54:16heading on I90 westbound towards
54:18cordelane uh let me kind of just wrap up
54:21I guess my thoughts for
54:23today the dirt road was
54:25was it was amazing honestly driving this
54:28car really gave me the feeling of you
54:32know I think the first time I drove a
54:33WRX on gravel and you're like wow this
54:36thing is amazing it can do so many
54:38things but the thing about this car is
54:41that it's because the suspension is
54:44softer it's also really smooth
54:46especially on that really rough stuff I
54:48was on early on in the day and with the
54:51extra ground clearance you just don't
54:53have to worry about uh rocks or even
54:56ruts quite so much as you do other
54:59Subarus U or other cars for that matter
55:02uh because nothing else in this class
55:04has 9.3 in of ground clearance nothing
55:06and if you don't have a ground clearance
55:07you just simply can't get through stuff
55:10ground clearance helps going through mud
55:12it helps dirt it helps rocks it helps
55:14even in the snow because if you get into
55:16compact ice and snow and the rut in the
55:18middle is too big you're not going
55:20anywhere so Subaru going up to 9.3 in
55:24with this cross trck I think that is a
55:25massive win and the adjustments they did
55:27to the suspension the combination with
55:30the tires and these wheels uh giving a
55:32nice sidewall to it I think that you
55:35know subar really has made something
55:37special here I think the only real
55:40things where I'm like ah subra could you
55:42do a little bit
55:44better and I'm I kind of don't want to
55:47say one of them uh the front camera
55:50that's one I'm just going to keep
55:51talking about that and talking and
55:53talking and talking
55:56but the other one it's the MPGs I have
55:59been averaging about 23 MPG on the
56:03freeway now I have to say though there
56:06is a huge asterisk next to that so don't
56:09just say oh the car gets 23 MP gallon
56:11what a piece of crap because it doesn't
56:14this is at like over 80 M an hour
56:17because Montana and Idaho their speed
56:19limits are fast and a vehicle like this
56:23when you have an engine that has not
56:25quite as much horsepower it has to
56:27struggle more to get up to speed
56:30especially when you're pushing through
56:31wind it was a little bit windy in
56:33Montana earlier I was getting buffeted
56:34around a bit and you're fighting your
56:38way through that it's physics um and
56:41with as much horsepower as this has it
56:45has to struggle a bit more at higher
56:47speeds it just does so I you know for
56:51the capability I will trade the 23 MPGs
56:56when driving on 80 mph freeways I think
56:59that's actually okay uh earlier
57:01yesterday when I was driving lower
57:03speeds I got as high as 29 MPG on the
57:05freeway which is amazing uh that was a
57:09lot slower and it was a little Stomp and
57:11go uh and then of course off-road well
57:14you just throw it all out the window
57:15because nothing gets good MPGs off-road
57:17because you're constantly on and off
57:19throttle and typically you're climbing
57:20or descending I mean if you compare it
57:23to heck I'm just going to compare it to
57:26my Ranger Tremor which
57:28has literally twice the horsepower of
57:31this
57:32thing uh that gets about 17 mil to the
57:35gallon so this is a huge step up in
57:39regards to that and in fact if you
57:40compare this against other more purpose
57:43focused off-roaders it actually is
57:46really amazing on MPGs but then again if
57:48MPGs are your thing don't get the
57:51Wilderness trim just get a regular Cross
57:54trck or better yet just get an empreza
57:56uh and those actually have really good
57:58MPGs considering their full-time
58:01all-wheel drive so you don't have to go
58:03with this car but if you do go with this
58:06car you can't really stab it with that
58:10MPG thing because there's got to be a
58:12little give and take I do think it would
58:14Faire better in MPGs at high speeds if
58:16it had a little bit more power but then
58:18it would suffer with MPGs at lower
58:20speeds because it would be more of a gas
58:22guzzler so again everything is a
58:26compromise especially in the compact
58:29crossover class and I think that this
58:31car even those caveats included is
58:36probably one of the least
58:38compromised off-road
58:40ready compact
58:44crossovers that's where I'm right now
58:46it's also super comfortable for road
58:48trips it handles great on both gravel
58:50and on pavement I'm cruising in the rain
58:52now at 80 mph because that's that's the
58:54speed limit here and I feel 100%
58:58confident with these tires with the
59:00suspension with the car the way it
59:01drives the way it tracks the safety
59:03features I love it I really
59:07do so if you're going to poke holes in
59:09this and say oh I should have adaptive
59:10suspension or it should have all these
59:12other things that are way more expensive
59:14would add to the cost maybe make it
59:16competitive with one or two other things
59:18but for the most part those are way more
59:20expensive anyway I mean what are you
59:22going to compare this against the
59:23turbocharge Jeep Compass I mean that has
59:27some things going for it but I'd take
59:28this over that any day even with the new
59:302.7 turbo in the compass and then how
59:33about comparing this against like the
59:35Bronco sport from Ford sizewise it's a
59:38very close competitor boxy shapewise it
59:41kind of more competes with the Forester
59:43but I think when you're regarding wheel
59:45base and overall size it's pretty
59:47squarely in here now granted you can pay
59:49$10,000 more for a bronos sport if you
59:53want a turbocharged engine and a front
59:55view camera there's always a cost
59:58attached to it and so I'll put the
01:00:00question out to you would you pay
01:00:0645,000 for a turbocharged cross Trek
01:00:09Wilderness with a front
01:00:11camera because I'm guessing that's
01:00:15probably what it would
01:00:17cost I might be wrong maybe they could
01:00:19find some economy of scale there that
01:00:21brings the price down but you know what
01:00:23it ain't going to be cheap and for the
01:00:25money that they charge for this thing I
01:00:26think you're getting a fantastic deal
01:00:29very capable compact
01:00:31crossover but I'm not quite done yet I'm
01:00:35going to go ahead and wrap up today
01:00:37because all I'm doing now is driving in
01:00:38the rain uh to cordelane oh that rhymed
01:00:43that's nice uh tomorrow we'll pick this
01:00:45back up again as I Blaze
01:00:48across uh Eastern Washington and head to
01:00:51our off-road test course where we'll
01:00:53start another episode and end this
01:00:57one so here we are on our final day of
01:01:00this journey I just got the car washed
01:01:03again the weather today should be pretty
01:01:05clear I think got a almost full moon in
01:01:08the sky still that's pretty neat hello
01:01:13moon I always like getting a clean car
01:01:15again you know I love getting cars muddy
01:01:17but just something about having a car
01:01:19that's clean just feels better it's
01:01:22almost like when you're walking around
01:01:23all filthy but you're also walking
01:01:25around people same thing car is filthy
01:01:28when I'm by myself that's cool when I'm
01:01:30in the woods Wilderness whatever
01:01:32fantastic but I'm on the freeway I'm
01:01:34like yeah you it's a little dirty I
01:01:37should probably clean it luckily there
01:01:39was a decent Car Wash over there in C
01:01:43Lane visited Grandma she's doing great
01:01:46uh she originally had a lifetime goal of
01:01:49out living the Queen of England because
01:01:51they were the same age well she
01:01:53successfully did that so now she's
01:01:54aiming for
01:01:58100 time to uh turn on the adaptive
01:02:01cruise get that lane centering
01:02:05enabled and we're just going to roll
01:02:07this is all very very um not that
01:02:11exciting of a section going to go
01:02:13through Spokane we're going to go
01:02:14through a lot of farming Valley and then
01:02:17we're going to get to Ellenburg and
01:02:19that's where the fun will begin and this
01:02:22video
01:02:23ends and I'm finally in my home state of
01:02:29Washington it's nice to be back one
01:02:31thing that's going to be significantly
01:02:33different on this leg of the trip is
01:02:34that I'm going to be much closer to sea
01:02:36level uh whereas the first parts of this
01:02:39trip I was at what does I do 6,000 4,000
01:02:43and 8,000 ft uh this leg is all at about
01:02:472,000 ft which does not significantly
01:02:50affect engine performance 8,000 ft yeah
01:02:53that is sign significant so here we
01:02:55should be getting better performance
01:02:56from this 2.5
01:03:01l so right now this is the medical Lake
01:03:04area just outside of Spokane and there
01:03:05was a huge forest fire it's pretty
01:03:07incredible I mean the way the fire was
01:03:10selective and there's certain areas that
01:03:11are absolutely raised but then other
01:03:13sections where the trees look completely
01:03:15fine a lot of people lost their homes we
01:03:18definitely lost a lot of forest it was
01:03:20pretty
01:03:21brutal something that I just love about
01:03:24about Washington state which yes is my
01:03:26home state I'm a little partial is the
01:03:29diversification of the environments I
01:03:31mean you have everything from the Lush
01:03:33Puget Sound and then you go over the
01:03:35mountains and it's all like High Desert
01:03:39I mean this is all at about 2,000 ft and
01:03:41as you go more North it becomes way more
01:03:44remote way more rugged um a lot more
01:03:47exposed rock but large sections of this
01:03:50are rolling grasslands and farmlands
01:03:53it's just really kind of a beautiful
01:03:55thing about this state is just how it it
01:03:58all kind of works together but it's all
01:04:00very different right now I'm just
01:04:03cruising along I90 here uh this is of
01:04:06course the major way to get back to
01:04:08Seattle uh from
01:04:11Idaho the drive today is relatively
01:04:13short we only have about 3 and 1/2 hours
01:04:16of Total driving uh before getting to
01:04:18the test Hill uh so it's actually a
01:04:20pretty chill day as far as the you know
01:04:22compared to the other days on the
01:04:26Adventure now that we're at 2,000 ft I'm
01:04:28going to go ahead and pull off here and
01:04:30get a refill on my gas tank just so that
01:04:32I'm at a level and we'll do a calculated
01:04:34refill later to kind of see what the
01:04:36MPGs are real world here uh in a non
01:04:40high altitude
01:04:42situation think I might get some coffee
01:04:44while I'm here
01:04:47too filled it
01:04:49up let's gohe and reset the
01:04:53trip so trip B
01:04:56reset okay now let's see what kind of
01:04:58MPGs we get at 2,000 ft of elevation on
01:05:01a relatively smooth level Highway and
01:05:04we're also going to be traveling at
01:05:05about 70 M an hour unlike earlier we in
01:05:08Idaho doing 80 uh which you know
01:05:11aerodynamics can be a bit of a
01:05:14challenge so I'm not going to Baby the
01:05:16throttle but I am going to try to
01:05:18maintain a pretty steady Pace I'm just
01:05:20going to engage cruise control once I
01:05:21get on the highway here and we're going
01:05:23to see what you know Cruise along at 70
01:05:25mph gets me for MPGs and uh I'll report
01:05:28the MPGs that we have up on the gauge um
01:05:33and then also I'll calculate uh once we
01:05:35get to Ellensburg with another
01:05:38refill
01:05:40okay obviously MPGs are going to go down
01:05:42because I'm throttling in to say though
01:05:44this engine definitely feels peier at
01:05:472,000 ft compared to 8,000 ft altitude
01:05:51is not its
01:05:53friend
01:05:56okay already I'm going too fast let's
01:05:57ease it back in just going to hit 70 mil
01:06:01an hour the speed
01:06:03limit set adaptive
01:06:06cruise to 70 Auto steer and we're golden
01:06:11let's do
01:06:13this I've now been driving for just
01:06:15under an hour I've done 60 miles and so
01:06:18far I've averaged according to the
01:06:20onboard computer 27 MPGs which I don't
01:06:24think is really that bad now we are at
01:06:26about 1,000 ft elevation that's where
01:06:29most of this part of the state is uh and
01:06:32it's not exactly level it's a lot of
01:06:34Rolling Hills so there's a little uphill
01:06:36a little downhill uh but I think overall
01:06:38the results pretty good now it is a
01:06:39little bit off from the optimal 29 miles
01:06:42to the gallon um I'm thinking that if
01:06:44you did the Seattle to Portland run
01:06:47which is pretty much level the whole way
01:06:49and also uh is 65 instead of 70 I think
01:06:53you might be be able to get 29 now one
01:06:56thing that also makes this run more
01:06:59efficient than my earlier runs is I
01:07:01actually have proper air pressure in the
01:07:03tires now um I was able to finally find
01:07:06an air compressor that works properly so
01:07:09some of those earlier tests I did in the
01:07:11same video um my air pressure was down
01:07:13to around 28 29 which is on the low side
01:07:18and that can hurt MPGs combine that with
01:07:21the 80 M hour speed limits and just not
01:07:24going to be terribly efficient so now
01:07:26we're about to dip into the Columbia
01:07:28Gorge which is always very exciting for
01:07:30me uh because means we're about halfway
01:07:33across the state and very close to our
01:07:36off-road test
01:07:40site and we're heading down into the
01:07:42Columbia River Gorge now this is such a
01:07:45cool area we use it uh for hydroelectric
01:07:47there's a big Dam up there and several
01:07:49more dams over
01:07:52there I think we should play a game
01:07:55let's see if I can hold my breath across
01:07:57the length of the Columbia
01:07:59River let's see there's the bridge
01:08:03deck pre
01:08:06myself okay I think I'm ready
01:08:11here
01:08:13and
01:08:15three
01:08:17two
01:08:18[Music]
01:08:22one
01:08:32[Music]
01:09:11okay
01:09:14success uh so this is uh the town of
01:09:16Vantage and the neat thing about this is
01:09:18there's actually some like dinosaur
01:09:20stuff right over there so if you're into
01:09:21dinosaurs this is the place to go
01:09:25clearly we also have huge wind farms
01:09:28just around the corner up
01:09:30here and in the distance there I can
01:09:32finally see Mount rineer Mount rineer is
01:09:35of course on the west side of the state
01:09:37I mean it's part of the Cascades but
01:09:39it's basically on the other side so
01:09:41that's a just it's just nice to see it
01:09:43you know it means I'm home
01:09:45again of course I got to get to the
01:09:47other side of it to get home but we're
01:09:49not doing that right now right now we're
01:09:50heading to the driving Sports test
01:09:53Mountain test Hill still working on that
01:09:55name anyway our Mountain test course uh
01:09:57which is just outside Ellensburg and
01:09:59we're almost there that climb out of the
01:10:01gorge though was a real killer on our
01:10:03MPGs uh the computer is now reporting
01:10:0625.6 miles to the gallon and part of the
01:10:08reason is because on the other side of
01:10:10the gorge we are at about 1,000 ft of
01:10:12elevation right here we're over 2,000 ft
01:10:16so it was a it was a heck of a climb
01:10:20out almost time to turn off the freeway
01:10:23finally we'll be done with the freeway
01:10:25leg of this journey that was uh that was
01:10:27a lot of freeway
01:10:29driving but overall I've found this car
01:10:31to be very comfortable I I would have no
01:10:34problem jumping in this car again
01:10:35tomorrow and driving to the east coast
01:10:37it's that good of a road Tripper um and
01:10:39which is kind of surprising typically
01:10:41smaller cars are less comfortable they
01:10:42make more noise the seats aren't as good
01:10:45um the functionality of the stuff in the
01:10:48cabin usually not as good but in this
01:10:50case I feel like I have everything and
01:10:52this head unit
01:10:54no errors no bugs no reboots nothing
01:10:57weird which is shocking if you know the
01:11:00history of Subaru and their infotainment
01:11:03systems they've been a bit glitchy over
01:11:05the years this one absolutely
01:11:09perfect I'm astonished I really am and I
01:11:13like the vertical with the Big Apple
01:11:15carplay it's just a nice tablet um when
01:11:17I first used it and for the first few
01:11:19years wasn't terribly excited by it I
01:11:20don't think I'm still excited by it but
01:11:23I have no problem with it and I think
01:11:25it's a very functional good system I
01:11:27still would prefer buttons for airon and
01:11:29whatnot but I'll get over
01:11:32it okay let's get off here and check the
01:11:35fuel and see what our
01:11:38MPGs are looking like um on the gauge I
01:11:42actually got back to 27 MPGs after that
01:11:44steep climb out of the gorge um but I
01:11:47wonder what the calculated range will be
01:11:49so we have 117 miles here let's find a
01:11:53gas
01:11:54station um let's go to that
01:12:04one okay let's see what this
01:12:10did on the
01:12:15click okay clicked so we're at
01:12:194.3 Gall okay so just filled up 4.3 gall
01:12:24and do the math times or divided by
01:12:29117.0 oh 2727 miles to the gallon so the
01:12:33computer was actually very accurate
01:12:36that's
01:12:37nice
01:12:39well we've learned something uh make
01:12:42sure to keep your tire pressures in the
01:12:44right spot drive slower than 80
01:12:48mph and if you want the best economy
01:12:50don't get the Wilderness just get a
01:12:51regular cross trck uh if you want
01:12:54capability yeah
01:12:57Wilderness with that let's go to our
01:12:59Mountain test course and wrap this road
01:13:02trip
01:13:03[Music]
01:13:14up so that's the end of our 1200 M
01:13:18Journey let me sum up my thoughts about
01:13:22this cross Trek Wilder
01:13:24for
01:13:242024 first off on the highway very nice
01:13:27car very pleasant to drive it's
01:13:29comfortable it's quiet even though it
01:13:31does have mild allterrain tires they
01:13:33don't really generate a lot of noise and
01:13:35they provide ample traction even in wet
01:13:37weather on that mountain climb in Utah
01:13:40this little thing acted like a goat it
01:13:43just climbed and climbed and climbed X
01:13:45mode worked fantastic even over very
01:13:48difficult terrain now the boulders I was
01:13:51going over were quite large but still
01:13:53because of very effective approach and
01:13:55departure on this thing I didn't have
01:13:57any problems getting up uh sure it had
01:13:59to scramble a little bit but ultimately
01:14:01I knew it would make it coming back down
01:14:04the improved Hill descent control system
01:14:06worked like a charm uh it actually made
01:14:09Hill descent a little bit easier cuz all
01:14:10I had to worry about was when I wanted
01:14:12to come to a complete stop it really
01:14:14helped ease me down even over that very
01:14:17Rocky rumbly terrain and I didn't hit
01:14:19anything on the underside which is
01:14:21remarkable uh given how that terrain was
01:14:25fuel economy uh peaked out at about 27
01:14:28MPG on this last stretch here which was
01:14:30probably the only pseudo scientific test
01:14:32that we did um I think given the
01:14:35capability of this vehicle I think
01:14:37that's acceptable if you want more miles
01:14:40to the gallon then just get a regular
01:14:42cross trk if that's your priority if
01:14:44having Adventures is your priority then
01:14:46this obviously is a better choice there
01:14:49are a few things that I would like to
01:14:50see improve still uh the lane detect
01:14:52noise little beep beep beep sounds
01:14:54exactly like a GoPro turning on kind of
01:14:56annoying when you're filming with a
01:14:58GoPro the Chimes for no seat Bel super
01:15:01annoying even if I'm in park it still
01:15:04Chimes the alarm which I think is
01:15:06absolutely absurd I'm not moving why is
01:15:09it warning me to put my seat Bel on that
01:15:11makes no sense the adaptive cruise
01:15:13control and Lane centering systems
01:15:14worked great which made my entire trip
01:15:17just way more relaxing I expected that I
01:15:20would like this vehicle pretty good but
01:15:22it actually blew me away with just how
01:15:24nice it was to drive on the
01:15:27highway plus it is even more capable
01:15:30than I thought it would be so overall I
01:15:32was very impressed with this new 2024
01:15:34Subaru cross Trek Wilderness if you're
01:15:37considering a cross Trek and you want a
01:15:39little bit more capability this is
01:15:41obviously a good choice likewise if
01:15:43you're considering something like the
01:15:45Bronco sport or even a
01:15:48Wrangler but you don't want to do rock
01:15:50crawling then this might also be a good
01:15:52option
01:15:53and if you're also considering of course
01:15:56the Jeep Compass Trail Hawk with the
01:15:58turbo
01:16:00engine I would suggest taking a look at
01:16:02this even though you will be way down in
01:16:04Horsepower I still think it is fast
01:16:06enough to still be fun and it is very
01:16:08capable if you enjoyed this video and
01:16:10you're interested in this cross truck
01:16:12Wilderness I have some good news Subaru
01:16:14is loaning this to us till next spring
01:16:16so we have a lot of videos coming up and
01:16:19in fact I'm going to start filming one
01:16:20as soon as we wrap this video that's
01:16:22right right we're at our Mountain test
01:16:24course in central Washington where I'm
01:16:26going to put it through all of the
01:16:28courses that's coming up so you
01:16:30definitely want to subscribe for driving
01:16:32sports TV I'm Ry do thanks for watching
01:16:34we'll see you again right
01:16:36here
