Dome plateau is pretty amazing. Fun trail and amazing views. What more could you want?!

@@legendarytrails a 2011 FJ Cruiser TTSE to go along with it lol

😂

We heard about some horror stories with the pink jeeps being pushy. We didn't have that, but we thought we'd mention it just in case.

Wow! $3300 for a clutch? That seems a little more than I would expect. At least it's replaced now and you'll have many many more miles before you need to work on it again.

@ oh believe me it hurt. I was shocked I could have gotten a new engine!

Glad you’re still enjoying your Outback, even if it’s starting to use a little more oil. We drove a newer Subaru and the screen is a little bit of a put off. We like the physical buttons better, but the screen does grow on you after a little. The Foresters are super nice too, just wish they offered the turbo in them. That new turbo is awesome!

It's true, the older ones do use a little oil, but it's nothing too major.

Lucky! That's the one thing I really miss from our VW. Everything else is way better though so I really can't complain.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the valve covers, spark plug tube gaskets, and the exhaust manifold - good to know! This is our 2nd Subaru and they are so much better than everything else out there in the market.

Seems pretty solid overall. 👌

The 2015 runs the highbeams sadly. I wish it would be like the new styles instead. Our led replacement have been doing well. We kept the halogens just in case we had any issues, but so far they've been great.

@ thanks ! Merry Christmas !

I was told by a Subaru tech, that has to do with the spring tension in the oil control rings. It has been very minimal on ours( also a 2015) The spark plug tube seals on Ours are in need of replacing along with the valve covers gaskets. This is a typical Subaru issue. As long as you understand what and when a Subaru needs service, they are excellent cars. We are on our 4th one in 30 years.

That might be an issue for some, but ours has been perfect. No burning at all.

@legendarytrails Some do, some don't. What year is yours? Ours goes probably 3k miles, so I generally change the oil at that time. Synthetic only.

@@scottfirman Ours is a 2015. We go about 4500-5000 miles between oil changes. We check it every time we fill up, but we've never had to add any oil.

Ours hasn't had an oil problems, but they did fix a few things since 2009. From our experience, on the newer styles, that's normally the pvc value that causes the issue. We plan on replacing it around 130k when we do the cvt fluid just to be safe. We have known several people with over 300k on their 2015s and haven't had a problem yet. They are pretty good cars overall 😃

Thanks

Not at all! Ours seems to be just fine. The pcv valve is normally what causes that. We plan on replacin it just in case when we do the transmission fluid at 130k.

@@legendarytrails How many miles can you go before the oil is down one quart?

In truth, we've only had probably About 1 quart for the 10k miles. We check it every time we get gas and haven't had to add anything between oil changes.

Dane is 6'2" tall.

It must be the default youtube picked for it - this can be adjusted on the lower left of your screen. We shoot in a minimum of 1080 and sometimes 4k. I've seen youtube do this sometimes on videos and I have to manually adjust it. Not sure why

According to Car and Driver, the RTI score is the same: 461. I think the difference in the real world is the tire size, keeping to 24 more planted on the ground than the 22 ZR2. Both are pretty awesome, so you really can't go wrong.

We got everything but package 3. But for the price (around 47k out the door) worth not getting the extra package.

I like the engine. It has better power and gets the same mpg. I average about 18 to 22 on highway and 15 to 17 in town. Oil filter changes are way easier. The torque off-road is easily as good as the v6. Baja mode is a beast. Passing uphill when loaded down with family and gear is better. Mpg have been improving now that I am almost at 4k miles. The sound is the hardest part to get used to. I really liked the V6. This one is more fun when you put your foot into it.

@@blakegarner3719 i like the v6 better.

Nope, we forgot to take it out and forgot our hitch slider at home. Double ouch

We purchased a zr2 instead.

The 33s do help. According to Chevy, it has a little more travel, but they are both so good it's hard to have a favorite!

I agree. I think the tire size is making most of the difference here. Also, travel numbers are not always indicative of flex. Travel is straight up and down movement where flex will cause it to travel more or less depending on geometry and materials. For example: the 2024 has more travel but with the outboard shock placement the flex will be more limited than the 2022.

You're welcome! There are a lot of trails your wilderness can do in Moab. The wilderness is pretty capable!

Yep. We wanted a Ranger Raptor, but the markups are crazy still.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! All of the vehicles we have had on our channel have been stock and that seems to be hard to find on youtube unless it's for an auto review. Its really amazing how far most stock vehicles can make it. Any of these trails your wrangler will make it on without any issues. We wheel trucks so the wheelbase is normally what makes a trail harder for us.

Right! That crater is no joke. We saw some SXS looking at it, but they decided better of themselves as well.

Thanks! After spotting a large Ram 1500 for years the toyota's seem easy!

It is a great mat! I'm surprised how much we like it. We were initially skeptical since it was folded, but it's really nice and just as good as the OEM ones we had on our Tacomas in the past.

Thanks!

We did.

The ZR2s are pretty amazing! It's hard to say, which is the best, but so far we think besides the approach, the last gen is a little more capable than the new one. We hope to keep showing amazing places with this new one 😉

Awesome! You'll love the zr2!

I have some craft knifes. They are from hobby lobby and worked perfectly

You are so welcome!

He is pretty cute

Yes. The tires are just awful.

This rack is made to be used without the Toyota or Jeep rail system. However, they are the same size. Chevy just has some issues with the mounting, which we've found to be a problem across the board when we've looked at similar systems. It was pretty easy to adjust this to fit and it was a lot cheaper than some of the others on the market. Honestly, we won't run this on the truck all the time since we use the truck as a daily driver, but it will be super nice for trips in the future.

Right?! The lack of wireless charging in the ZR2 was a bit of a surprise. Apparently that only comes with the level 3 package. The OE cupholders are pretty nice overall, and I do like the cell phone holder in the middle. Way better than last gen! This cup holder attachment has been great in our Subaru since it doesn't fit a phone in the cubby. It will probably be something we use when driving it on trips. I actually like your idea of the bulletpoint mounts; a GMRS radio setup would look legit behind the infotainment screen. And those 3D-printed side pockets are genius! I might have to snag one for myself-my keys are currently playing hide-and-seek in the cupholder jungle. 😅 Thanks for sharing the tips-definitely giving me some ideas for my next upgrade!

@legendarytrails the GMC sales guy told me the only difference between my AT4X and the ZR2 was the HUD and styling. I still think the Chevy got the better interior colors over the white.

@dwn5hft the white is cool looking, but might be hard to keep clean. Does it clean up nice?

@@legendarytrails I used leather wipe from chemical guys and admittedly it's not as bad as I would of thought from trail days, but I feel like I'm always leaving my windows up when off road mega I assume it will get worse

The one in Northern Colorado Springs. It was a good experience.

@legendarytrails thanks guys, enjoy your new truck! I've been eyeing the ZR2 for a while

$4000 later, lol

😆 We won't run it very often since we prefer our tool box instead for most of our adventures. There are several people at work who run them all year long - not sure why🤔
