2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness - Can it get me there?

 

The Subaru Outback Wilderness Wagon is touted as being an off road capable machine - easily holding it's own on rough roads and terrain. 

I had decided to camp at a site which could be accessed via two routes, one was via a portage trail and the other was via an unmaintained logging road. 

This road has claimed everything from tailpipes to bumpers; however, I decided that it was time to put the vehicle to the test and take a chance running this wild stretch of dirt road. 

My resolve was firm but my nerves were questioning my decision when the Subi's front wheels hit the first rut. 

It wasn't long before the Wilderness in the Outback taught me to calm down and have fun, as this powerful vehicle tackled the road and showed me that the Subi was more than up to the task. 

Happy Wandering

2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness | POV ride | Quiet Forest Road

 Accessing the back roads up here can be an adventure itself.

I have traveled down many unmaintained forest roads and found the shoulders littered with everything from oil pans to fender skirts, a testament to the roads ability to claim dominance over anyone who challenges it with a less than capable conveyance.  

Many of the great "put in" spots for canoeists are found along, and at the end of forest roads; therefore the avid adventurer must ensure the vehicle they drive is up to the punishment that it will receive; should its nose be pointed down a road which is determined to cause damage. 

Subaru has created one such vehicle. The Subaru Outback Wilderness is a lifted beast which will take the abuse any forest road can throw at it. 

This is a short POV vid of a short journey down a forest road which is one of my favorite haunts.
