currently 313,000 miles on my 02 CR-V. still runs fab. they are awesome vehicles.
My son (19 yrs. old) recently brought a used 2006 crv with 80,000 miles on it.
I put some money into it to get it mechanicly and visibly up to speed.
This video has given me great confidence in this vehicle.
Great job, and excellent driving!
She's a good driver. Knowing when to stop and not spin out the tires. Didn't dig herself to the frame 👍💪
I was gunna say not so good to dig in as much as she did. You gotta rock it R-D a little bit.
Well, that's the advantage of bald tires, tough to bury yourself. ;)
I’m shocked at how well that lil rig did. No way would I ever have imagined it was that capable. Nice video and time for a babysitter to really push that thing.
I take my 05 crv of roading all the time but I was afraid to push it, now I see its an amazing vehicle! I love it even more! Great video guys!
We have an 04 CRV. And with a set of Yokohama Geolandars it is a good little off-roader. 220k and still going strong
It will go another 220k
Does it hurt mileage that much?
I have geolanders on my 2003 Honda CRV, 215/70R15 with a roof basket too. Im getting 19mpg. Also it struggles on hills and passing, its strictly a slow lane car. Everything else is stock. I blame the 4 speed automatic. Im willing to bet the 5 speed manual in this generation perorms much better. It needs that shorter gearing with the extra overdrive freeway gear 5.
That roof basket is the culprit. Wind drag is bitch.
@@foellerd I run 245/70 r16 geolander at's on my 06 escape and they seem to do ok I'm buying ko2's next time around js
The CRV is a great commuter, with decent gas mileage. It's not the best off road, but isn't car low either. If you lived out in the country, it would be fine.
I love my '97. I have three big dogs and it's amazing how well the interior has held up. The car is 23 years old and almost looks new.
Save your money. Put some good tires on it. Those are great little SUVs!!!
Peninsula Room 4 my wife is on her 2nd one, that’s all we buy for her. And I have a Tacoma so we’re good I think LOL
That was cool! Reminds me of when I took my son out in my 1974 Blazer through a river when he was strapped in his car seat. He's now 41 years old!
Had a 1999 CRV that I bought brand new. I took that places I should not have but it always got me home. Now have a 2005 Pilot that has saved my butt on several occasions and a 2020 Tacoma. You two are great and really enjoy you vlogs.
My wife's car is a 04 CRV with a manual transmission. I'm 52, and have owned many vehicles along the way. The CRV is far and away the best vehicle I have ever owned. You CANNOT do better for the money and dare I say twice the amount. Can something with higher clearance do more? Of course. More aggressive tires (of proper CRV size) will certainly help, but the CRV is an extremely agile and capable offroad vehicle. Get one while you still can. Unless I'm "rich" and don't know it, they are cheap to fix too. Not that anything ever breaks.
Love, love, love our 04 CRV!
I have an 02 crv my first car aswell! Also back when this was made the crv was actually made for adventure seeking just a minor correction it’s just rarely been used for it mainly because this vehicle is unfortunately very underrated for these tasks even though honda sold millions of these
IT did pretty good considering its completely stock!!!
2004 CRV here and it's my work vehicle. With lots of construction equipment in the truck. My CRV is a tank
This was a well done and fun to watch video thank you for making it.
Awesome. I would like to see more videos with the crv off road and maybe some road trips or something. Thinking about getting one.
Please do they good cars
Not bad..... those things do pretty good. Get a good set of all terrain tires and she'll get up most of those hills easier. Your daughter looks like she enjoys these off roading adventures. ...
As for which vehicle??? I'm thinking 4runner ...more room for stuff!
Always like to see what stock vehicle can do, good vid!!
Super nice video! I would recommend investing in some All Terrain tires lol
I've always loved the 1st and 2nd gen CRVs and similarly the 1st gen RAV4. Such fun vehicles and the old school AWD systems perform really well.
It would be even better if it was diesel. Diesel's strong points are perfect for an off road / hauling car, strength, torque all while returning good fuel consumption. Such a shame the american government is so anti-diesel. All american trucks would benefit a lot from having diesel versions
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess germany is also anti diesel and a hate it for that
@@demoritzz5327 It's the EU bullshit. The EU has only harmed Germans and European peoples
Germany is one of the greatest countrys on Earth, at the forefront of science and technological advancement! before the EU German companies like VW and BMW were advancing fuel technology so much, they make the best diesel engines in the world, not these EU parliament laws are trying to kill all those years of technological advancement, by going after fuel in favor of electric (which actually harms the environment more than fossil fuels, cause of the batteries in electric cars)
I honestly believe that clean fuels are the future of energy, not electric transportation. Ethanol and Biodiesel (like Rudolf Diesel originally planned), they are clean and renewable, they are cheap since they're produced from organic elements and anyone can make them, and ofc they don't harm the planet like electric vehicles powered by batteries, with their toxic components (plus the mining for minerals, that harms the planet in a huge way)
I sincerely believe that Rudolf Diesel was one of the greatest visionaries to have ever lived, he does not get the credit he deserves for creating Diesel!
With some more aggressive tires and a little more momentum the CRV would have handled what you put it through easy. Obviously its limitations are no low range 4x4 and low ground clearance.
Very nice family and nice car. I live in greater Boston area and have 2006 CRV since it was new. I don't go off road, but I like how well my SUV behave in deep snow (which is not unusual in our area). Never got stuck and was able to climb to the hills (even on icy roads). Thanks for the video.
My 2005 black still runs well everyday and is going to reach 290000km soon, amazing four-wheel-art.
I have an 05, original owner, it is a really good snow car, we are in VT so always do snow tires, but after these wear out (has been five years on these) going to get some cooper at3's and get a little crazy. My only regret since the start is room for the driver--it i really tight for 6' 200lbs... Got it anyway and has been a great vehicle, 150K, reckon about half way done is the rust can hold off... Thanks for taking the time to post, fun video.
Yes, I run The Cooper AT3-4s 225/70/16, and they are by far the best tires I could’ve purchased for my ‘06 CRV. 👍
Good footage. Good times!
To be honnest... CR-V is not a Wrangler nor a Defender. But i's a really honnest 4X4 with really good off-road capacities... I took mine in many situations off and on road and it was solid as iron. It move even in muddy or snowy path. Even on ice ! It's the best deal for a on AND off road car !
Awesome video guys! Nice to see what a stock Honda can do on dirt. I own a '02 LX CRV (my first car). Can't fault it haha. I recently got some new AT tyres fitted, still need to test it out with that extra grip. 😎👌
"off-pavement" would be more accurate, but it did well. Lifting a wheel in modern vehicles is pretty common because modern suspension is so inflexible.
I don't when the change happened, but I had read the early CRV 4wd system was pretty tough, the later ones, not so much.
Offpavement is still Off the Road 🤦🏻♂️🙄
@@brandonar868 According to the statistics I found, in 2007 less than 65% of U.S. roads were paved. Most of what they were on were graded and maintained roads from what I could tell. I could drive my front wheel drive Malibu on much of it.
Honestly, that looks just as capable as my 2017 frontier 4x4. wife’s got an awd 2016 crv and I think I’ll take it on trails like that no problem. Thanks
Good job what a great video!
I clicked this video to look over the car's exterior but ended up enjoying amazing views somehow 👍
Wow, I am impressed, it is a pretty capable 4 wheeler and it’s true they were not really designed with this in mind. I had a two wheel drive model that I did not take off road of course but I was always impressed by the capabilities of mine in bad on road conditions.
Those are fantastic cars. I just bought a 2005 myself with a stick shift! I love it!!!
Yep 98% of that was the driver. She has natural talent for picking lines and throttle modulation. So many young folks just floor it and dig themselves in deep. She needs a set of general altimax rt43 tires and she'd be straight.
I'm really impressed that car is such capable, considering it doesn't have the appropriate tires to do so. I have that same one with 120 000. Pretty low mileage for an old car like this.
i love it my CRV 04 manual transmission !!
Here is the reason for not buying a tacoma and 4runner as I have owned all three.
1) 2004 CRV and all Honda's have the most comfortable seats among all Japanese cars. Toyota is the worse
2) Honda CRV will be better suited for family and has better gas mileage.
3) I have 289,000 miles and as much as I abuse it, it goes on and on and is trouble free.
Excellent Camera Work👏👏👏
Super relaxing video guys.
The baby said hi.. i pressed like 🙋♂️
They're capable but take it easy on it. I have an 05 escape and it's extremely capable but I'm always trying to not go to extreme with it. Keep up the great work Lauren and friends.
Thanks for making this video!!! Just bought the same car recently so its pretty cool to a recent video of an trusty ol suv. I would be so sad to see Lauren in something else other than a crv thoh! It fits her so well!
I had a 2002 CRV and they are fantastic little cars. I still miss it. Don’t know if I’d do a lot of tuff off roading with it but the all wheel drive has to be great for mild stuff. Ours wasn’t AWD, but still a great little car. After our CRV, we bought an Odyssey, and now we’re on an AWD Pilot that so far I’m loving. We have loved our Hondas. As of now we’re on our 4th one. Had an accord too.
i just bought a 2003 CRV im so excited !
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. I was surprised a bit by how much wheel spin there was on yours. I have a 2006 and have done one test run to try to get it stuck (with my friend driving his off road equipped Jeep CJ as Rescue 1). I don't recall that much tire spin. I wonder if Honda made some adjustment to the all wheel drive system between '04 and '06. Anyway, it totally surprised me how well it will do off road, for which it really is not designed.
I have CRV ,what I don't like about this cars is , you have to check front ball joints every ,two,
three month, it doesn't last long that is what happened to me two times ended up changing
the drive shaft as well, Every mechanic mentions that.
That was a very polite test. I see the 1 tire spinning in the air and I wonder why the other 3 don't turn for the car to just keep gong forward. It's All Wheel Drive but all the wheels aren't driving.
I see it slip and grab going up the hills in soft dirt so that's good. I can put chains on mine to drive in the snow. Just in residential areas (not on the highway).
It's a good little car.
😂 that's not how all wheel drive works bud. Most AWD systems operate like traction control.
Nice video. Kudos Lauryn
I think Lauren is a far better driver than the car is off road capable. I've seen them stuck on speed humps with lesser drivers. Well done Lauren.
How fun! Not really "off road" though. The biggest limiting factor on CRVs, in my opinion, is the general lack of ground clearance. Early 2000s, late 90s were somewhat better than the newer ones. And, of course, Honda has never claimed they were off road capable. On a muddy road like that they will get you through if you have good tires and a smart driver.
Gunfire in the background. America 🦅
I love my 2002 Honda CR V
It has over 300,000 miles on it and runs awesome
I love off roading in it 🥰⚘️
I love it! Thanks for making that video..
I have an 05. Great vehicle for going off the beaten path.
I have a 2005 CRV SE with some Wildpeak A/T Trails on it. This video gave me some more courage for sure...
I have a 2003 CRV and it was my daily driver to get kids to and from school and soccer and everything else. It took me camping and skiing all around Colorado and Utah. Never failed getting me there and back.
I did have to replace the engine however when the timing chain went bad. That sucked.
I still have it and it runs great. Too bad someone stole the catalytic converter. That’s too expensive to repair.
My lawnmower can do that.
But of course, it is also a Honda.
I hope it’s a riding lawnmower
Brilliant video. Love the way your nipper is in the back totally oblivious 🤣🤣. Was wondering what my 06 CR V is capable of so thanks very much. Keep enjoying yourselves. Life is short
You did a good job filming
Nothing wrong with a car from the 00s. In some ways they are better than the new ones
Nice video. It probably could have made it up that small slope but Lauryn backed off the throttle too early everytime when then front wheels were on the top. The Honda CRV AWD system is a little slow in engaging. If you watch the video back you'll notice the front wheels aren't even turning, so it hasn't engaged the AWD yet if you'd given it literally a few more seconds it would have engaged.
Thank you for the video now I can show my mother that her 2013 CRV is capable of more than she gives it credit for. Lol! And also what a cute family and she's an awesome driver!😀🚙👍
I got a 2014 EX
Awesome video (Y) I bought myself a cheap 2002 CRV, its lovely!! soon wanna do a bit off roading like you!!
Pretty cool..I have an 06 same color.. funny thing is your front passenger door is pushed in from previous owner..my back passenger is pushed in from previous owner.. 😂
Some good tires and a set of, X-BULL tracks, a tow strap, a come-along and you'll be set.
This was awesome to watch :)
My lady has one.. a 1st gen I put old man emu lift Springs Bilstein shocks and BFG TKO 2 bigger tires run great going to start refreshing the engine transmission and drivetrain little by little since she won't get rid of it her baby
What a great video. Such a beautiful place
Honda crvs from the 90s are the best very well made
Just be extra careful of that fuel tank. It hangs lower than most SUVs and that metal cage doesn’t offer much protection against impact or sharp objects.
Rather impressive considering it isn't even running AT tyres...
I'm thinking a small lift and AT tires might be in order
@@DrivenCompanion Ive put General At3 Grabbers on mine. World of difference and hardly any road noise difference.
good driving, but I am way more impressed with how steady the camera shot is while Mike is running on Foot. Are you using a gimble or have steady shot?
Amazingly its just the built in camera stabilization
Great video guys.
Very cool. I just bought a 2005 SE and love it. Is yours all wheel drive?
Look how clean it is after doing some mild offroading
Looked like fun, good job with the channel, catching up with your brother Stradman.
212k on my 06 escape and I take it off road once a week lol have for a while now and it does ok but where it really shines is on the road with snow and ice Indiana is a bear in the winter lol
I put yokahoma go15 AT tyers on and it transformed the of road abilities of the crv
we know crv is not a big off road but, i proud of owner of one, ands Lauryn is great driver. i think lift one inch and big tire ,work better.
Having a kid before your first vehicle is a pretty harsh reality.
It's great for an awd but that's not what the awd is for but I'm actually surprised by it's performance
i like this car same my car crv g 2 2003
I wonder if you could have a diff locker fitted like Subaru's do. Not sure if they're available though.
Automotive koncepts and design have racing diffs brand LSD for these to get better traction in the rear. And they also have gear x brand LSDs for the crvs
Hi very good offroading video. It's good to see girls and women doing offroading. Wish you upload more girls or woman doing offroading and spin tyres.
Great car! this year I'll buy a 2006 one. greeting from Venezuela
Nice video thanks from sharing
HONDA CRV 2004 RELIABLE CAR THUMBS UP
I have same car 2003 year model and it can more.
The best SUV 🚙 in the world 🌎
I have my 2006 as first car. Second owner.the first owner only put 90k miles so it is in pretty good shape. My concern is in the snow, I live in DE and we are getting a low of snow for this winter and of course ice, I have iron man tires all season, should I change them? They are new,.
Best video ever!!!
Well, what you know. I didn't know that you can drive it like a little Jeep and it's a 2002...still kicking and clicking!
What a great driver she is, nice job...
Beautiful country !
Almost bought one of these - but bought a Jeep XJ instead. Bad call.
Thousands spent since on one repair after another 😭
XJ's are great vehicles, but they need way too much TLC for me personally to handle.
For a rig to learn to wrench on, build & for serious off roading Cherokee's are Ace. But for practical everyday hassle free and economical motoring it's hard to beat a Honda.
Put some proper wide mud tires, (with studs) on it, and it'll climb anything.
Also what a beautiful landscape
It has a differential lock button yours must not be the awd I got one just like this an 05 mint condition looks new I sold it after I took it off roaring that thing is fun!
Now own my second wrangler rubicon ☺️
The driver is goggles and l love her
'muricans needing running shoes to make a run otherwise it's imposible. jk. good content!
Good vibe!
