If You’re Looking For A “Real Deal” Off-Roader, Says Steve, This Is It

  This whole Wilderness thing is perhaps the smartest idea Subaru has ever had.  It just makes too much sense; an all-wheel drive, outdoorsy brand with dogs in every commercial is perfectly suited for something more rugged. It’s Subaru’s best-selling model and their owners love them but let’s be honest; it’s never been a looker.  Dorky is the descriptor that always comes to my mind but this Wilderness model is a game changer for Forester, taking it in a completely more appealing direction.

Now, Subaru could have done a Fugazy LL Bean Edition wheel and sticker job here but no; this is a real deal off-road upgrade: more ground clearance and thus better trail-tackling metrics, specially tuned suspension components to compensate for the vehicle’s added height, all-terrain Yokohama 17” tires, deep snow and mud driving mode that can work at higher speeds than in other Foresters, a transmission with an 8th gear, if you will, for the paddle-shifted manual mode and that also automatically detects steep gradients and locks into lower gearing to get the power to the ground, 3,000 pounds towing capacity – double that of the other models and a roof that can support an additional 100 pounds for things like a tent.

This one is also equipped with an optional aluminum under guard for the engine and it’s the only way to get this sharp Geyser Blue paint.  It looks amazing and the copper finish accents and Wilderness logos are appropriately sprinkled inside and out to give it a special feel. Starting MSRP for the Forester Wilderness is $33,945 for what turns out to be the most well-executed Subaru of all time.

  1. […] The most satisfying way to invest in gold is to purchase bullion bars in the USA. The United States Mint manufactures gold bullions sold to the country’s people through authorized distributors and dealers channels. You can buy it online or from a local collector or dealer. But you should make sure that the retailer must be a licensed online or offline retailer. A pawnbroker may also sell gold bullions. You must monitor the price of gold per ounce at the time of purchase so that you can make a fair and satisfying deal. […]
