Yup, I love their trips between how entertaining they make them, how fun it is to listen to them, the beautiful cinematography and the scope of each trip. I actually wasn't expecting this trip, I was going through their videos and with how many projects they had going on I figured they would skip a road trip or even with how grand their have been maybe put them to rest. So happy they are continuing to do them, it's what hooked me in the first place followed by their fantastic grid life stuff.
I'm waiting for the new series "we took a brand new stock lexus LS and a mercedes S class with a warranties on a roadtrip and everything went well and we enjoyed ourselves"
We drove from South Carolina to Alaska and back for a car rally in a 1965 Ford Mustang back in 2016. Made it in two magazines, one the cover of Mustang Monthly. :) Project Road Warrior. The way up we went through Montana and Banff National Park and the Canadian Rockies and came back down the Cassiar Hwy where we had no service and saw a bunch of bears eating berries on the side of the road.
Dude no way, i saw you two leaving from Tallahassee on my way to Texas, I was in serious awe over these two cars passing by them, no idea this was taking place at all, seriously cool builds and an earned subscribe from me!
That moment when you realize that the subaru alone is gonna use $3500-$4500 in gas ALONE during this trip really puts things into perspective. That's insane
The Gas truck I drive is about $600 average each month. I love these price changes :) but that being said $4500, in a 500HP car over that distance to me is quite decent.
wait are you telling me you DONT have 2700 bucks lying around to use just for gas???? What are you some kind of pleb? The economy is doing great and I know its true cuz the government said so.
@@philstaab7420 you mean 4k ? for 10k miles ? i paid 2500 about 3 years ago in my jeep for about 9k miles from GA to Montana WY , UT , CO and back to GA. Not included hotels food and other expenses. Good luck doing a trip this long for under $10k today.
@@dankcount Yeah no joke. Pretty much the only way to do a road trip longer than 1000 miles these days is if you happen to be elon musk or jeff bezos. lol Thanks Biden... oh shit sorry I meant Putin. Forgot we were blaming him for everything now.
I was in Ireland the summer of 2016 for work. I had Fridays off. Spent the long weekend driving/exploring the entire island. Locals thought I was crazy.
Honestly, I know you probably wouldn't be able to, but a 20-40 hour multiday roadtrip across the US is surprisingly really fun. Just get a cooler with some snacks and drinks, a somewhat roomy ish car and a bag of chips or whatever snacks you want, and just admire the change in scenery and possibly stop at some landmarks. I would love to go to Europe and do like a tour accross a few countries, sounds awesome just walking around and taking trains and crap to go places (excuse my absence of knowledge about European cross country public transportation, I'm american so all we have is amtrak which loses money and buses which are... strange to put it that way) Edit: you'll want at least one friend to go with you, 3 is probably to sweet spot
Most of the scenes in the opening minute were of Western Canada, immediately recognizable to anyone who knows it well. Cascade Mountain's southeast wall on the thumbnail, as seen from near Canmore Alberta, Mt Robson near Jasper at 0.03 seconds, entrance to the Rockies near Banff at the village of Exshaw at 0.31 seconds, google images will prove all of them, others such as the Icefield Parkway climbing Sunwapta Pass on the Banff-Jasper National Park boundary at 0:45 don't have specific pictures on-line, but anyone who knows every peak on that 150 mile long road can identify it in seconds, here taken above the cliffs of Cirrus Mtn by drone, the highway can be seen climbing the pass in the distance. That cowboy at 0:37 talking about his gun charges/criminal record looked and sounded Montana or Wyoming though.........
The first version of this trip started RIGHT after I sold my VIII and was the inspiration for me buying another. Can't wait to watch this series! Love you guys!
This shit is awesome. I just sold my 420hp FPred Evo in January after 10 years of ownership all throughout my 20s. sometimes I miss it but at the same time i don't. The car was reliable as hell and never had any issues!
The funny thing is that Subarus are generally pretty reliable. It’s once you start modifying the engine is when shit starts to go wrong. Or maybe Ben just has bad luck lol! Can’t wait for the next episodes!
Yeah Stock for stock subarus are nice but when you start pushing for power they’re quite limited on stock components. Evos are the perfect 4 cylinder to build but issue is if you want to exceed 400hp and not have your rods bend you have to build the bottom end.
@@manhattanskyline4526 Agreed. I have friends that all built their Evos or STIs and they all didn’t end well. Not saying it’s impossible, just proving that Evos & STIs can be reliable if you don’t build the motor. Stock is always the most reliable. Hey, both Bens made it back home right? They proved that you can drive to Alaska & back with 500whp built motors 🙌🏽
@@manhattanskyline4526 Josh Bader is a great guy to go watch on TH-cam. He shows you what you can do with a Subaru. His wife's Type RA was 700 whp for 2 years on the stock engine. He's shows it all. It takes a real specialist to get these cars reliable with power. But I think wrenching on your build is half the fun.
This series would definitely bring this channel to 1 million subscribers, what a fitting series it would be, way to kick things off with another roadtrip
I love watching your videos cos here in Botswana we r not as ‘financially independent’ as we wud like to be and can’t really afford thee lifestyle. Therefore watching u guys go on such trips is the next best thing
Just to clarify Subaru and boxer engines are VERY reliable, well balanced, fuel efficient and great for road trips. Modified and boosted Subarus are not reliable. If you get an Outback or a Forester you're good for 300,000 miles with no major issues.
Except head gaskets, possible trans issues, and still potential for ring failure. Not to mention 25 mpg is hardly efficient these days. I’ve driven 3 various non boosted Subarus and one boosted one for long durations and had nothing but problems.
@@dudeshark2471 got 26 mpg from a Golf R,getting the same from a GR Yaris,98 wrx sti getting 23 mpg.Fuel economy hasn't improved as much as you'd think.
I just sold my wrx with somewhat low miles and a babied motor and it was nothing but problems. Super fun and fast car but it was such a dick of a car to own with all the issues it had at 70k miles
I just bought a new to me, 2014 Forester 2.5i and other than some small issues with my electrical (passenger side running light and brake light burning out) it's had absolutely no issues
This came out right after I finished binging the past four road trips on this channel. Sooooooooo happy right now. These guys have the best content on TH-cam, hands down.
I still remember watching the first road trip by you guys. The production quality is astonishing. I am not a car guy and certainly hate to look after my old car. Not only was the video awesome with the scenic experience, but after watching the road trip videos, I do look after my car. I really enjoy this type of content. Thanks to Advance Auto Parts for sponsoring this channel.
After seeing countless "builds" perform varying degrees of shitting the bed in my life, it's really a testament to how GOOD the OEMs really are at bringing a volume product to market. Sure, they have issues, recalls, etc. But it's pretty amazing that they're able to crank out tens of thousands of cars that generally don't have any major issue. Lots of owners put lots of hard track miles on high revving, 500 NA horsepower GT cars that don't break a sweat and only spend money on consumables like tires, brakes, bearings/bushings, etc. It's kind of incredible.
Finally, I have been waiting for a trip like this for a long time. The original trip was what really got me into the channel. The itch has finally been scratched!
Well, that's in a Toyota Corolla, one of the most vanilla cars ever made. I wouldn't brag about doing a road trip in my Mazda3 awd hatch, which is very good and fun car, but it holds nothing compared to doing a road trip in modified high HP cars.
I knew I saw you guys driving down the road. It was hard to tell since the sti. Looks like a normal sti but once I saw the blue bar and license plate on Ben's evo's I was like yup they're in a trip again.😂. One day y'all are gonna pass by me and imma honk the horn to get into the video lol
I saw them in Downtown Jacksonville when they did the roadtrip with the Miata and Civic. I thought it was a bit odd to see two nice 90s jdm cars cruising together.
i have had 2 subarus. 2017 legacy and a 2021 forester. the legacy had 100,000 in 3 years and had zero issues. only did regular maintenance. the forester has over 15k in 4 months and been to several states. still no issues. subaru for life.
Anyone catch the yellow CRX in the background around 21:30 when they were replacing the wipers on the STi? Probably one of the rarest cars/color combos ever on this channel.
I personally don't like slamming cars. Especially if it's meant to have some ground clearance. It's a "Rally" car, so it's supposed to have more clearance. I thought it looked better higher up.
YESSSSSS THIS SERIES IS BACK.(I really missed this roadtrip series). At this point I want to go for a roadtrip across canada first when I get my licence in 2 yrs ;-;
if only i could have seen yall drive by somewhere on i-65 in Birmingham al. it 10-15 mins from my house. to think yall was that close to me just then lol
You guys came SO CLOSE to my hometown in the Canadian Prairies I had no idea!! ❤️ Great video so far, and can't wait to see the next leg of the trip! 👊👊👊
I honestly think what makes this channel amazing is that its not only about track days and making cars to perform in the track....but the actual regular people road trip stuff combined is greatly appreciated!! I'm #PhoenixAutoConcepts🇹🇹 full support..to you guys!!
I know this is an old video but it popped up in my suggested and super glad it did. Great video and really gives me motivation to finish my 95 L coupe so I can do a road trip with my wife.
I always enjoy hearing about the lack of excitement towards the Midwest - as someone who lives in it and knows that there are some amazing secrets in the upper states. We do have corn fields, flatness, and snow - but we also have some pretty sweet roads if you know where to go.
Damn I should've recorded myself two months ago when I drove from Massachusetts down here to South Carolina with my 98 Honda Accord didn't fail me once love it to death.
I can’t believe I’m watching this 9 months later to realize that you literally passed through my hometown at 25:01. Crazy that the one shot you used of Ben’s gps just happened to show it.
In grad school 4 years ago i drove from Panama City to visit my friend doing research in prudhoe bay Alaska. We're both biologists and we were doing our summer research in those respective places. Took me a week!
Your first trip has inspired me to buy a forrester and start planning a trip from the uk to mongolia. With loads of octane booster. Keep up the amazing inspiring trips.
What a road trip. I don't care what are you driving or how many hp you got. The trust to your car is good enough to prove what ever is that. views makes me feel relaxed. I also like driving. I really like this vlog 🔥
Hey guys.....watching from St. Vincent and the Grenadines...love the show...Both cars are great, Question. Do you have a paint code for the Subaru wheels?
I love these road trip series! If you guys feel comfortable telling us it would be cool to know how much money you guys spent on gas throughout the entire trip. Especially in these crazy gas times lol
If they were averaging 17mpg at $4.60/gal that's like $2600 per car each way. Lines up with Ben saying they'd use about 1000gal of fuel lol about $5k in gas between them and now gas is even more lol
Loving this trip…..and the cars. One question many may be curious about: How do built engines need to be maintained that is different than standard, OEM, engines - rebuilding, wear, etc. Just curious on will they go for a long time like a stock engine is supposed to or do you need to plan on new say things every 50k miles. Have heard lots of stories on the latter end of things…. Thank you.
The only maintenance change is using a different weight of oil. The stock Subaru Ej motor would use 5w-30. But with a built motor, lots of guys used a heavier weight of oil. Using the engine builder will let you know what oil to use depending of the tolerances of the engine build.
so good to see another road trip, a massive break away from the Track stuff!!! this gives so much relief and resonates with every automobile enthusiasts....
Imagine having enough gas money for this trip 😭😭😭 But seriously tho, both cars get around 20 mpg, assuming they have to drive ~3000 miles(Idk accurately) that's like 300 gallons of gas, or $1500 in gas money alone.
I live in Alaska and you guys should have driven from homer to prudhoe bay! Then kick outta ALASKA then you guys would have gone the whole highway system in alaska!
@@edmunek maybe if the cars dumped like these cars are I would understand it being marginal. But with higher cars roof rack and the weight you put on will definitely make a difference. mine made about 1.2 mpg on my 3 inch lift 4runner. And the noise and whistling is definitely noticeable. But nothing beats the mud terrain tires I put on. After that I stopped counting mpgs. =P
We need a "this will make it reliable" count from Ben and his Subaru.
It’s the EJ’s fault cant make a motor from the 80s last forever
That Subaru is a headcase. my guess is it's gonna break down again before they even cross the Mississippi
Subaru and Reliable don't go. Love the content keep it up!
The EK Civic is Ben's best vehicle.
That number hasn’t been invented yet
Frankly I would watch any road trip even if it didn’t have a theme. They’re just so cool and you guys edit them together so well.
Yup, I love their trips between how entertaining they make them, how fun it is to listen to them, the beautiful cinematography and the scope of each trip.

So happy they are continuing to do them, it's what hooked me in the first place followed by their fantastic grid life stuff.
I like the themes but I agree. I kinda want a most reliable road trip car theme but then it would lack repair content which I like
If only it didn't cost them 5 figures in gas alone LOL
I'm waiting for the new series "we took a brand new stock lexus LS and a mercedes S class with a warranties on a roadtrip and everything went well and we enjoyed ourselves"
If we wanted a roadtrip to not have any issues, we'd take some Hondas
@@GearsandGasoline That would be great. you know I'm something of an average honda enjoyer myself
@@GearsandGasoline - I hear Toyota Corolla's are cool for roadtrips too! =)
Would be great for an April fools series lol

The way up we went through Montana and Banff National Park and the Canadian Rockies and came back down the Cassiar Hwy where we had no service and saw a bunch of bears eating berries on the side of the road.
And the only thing that went wrong was a failed brake line. We’ve had way worse happen on much shorter trips. 😅

9.21 where we need to be more relax, instead put a lot of unnecessary stress when it come to problem.
I love you guys, please never stop making art.
Honestly,i was waiting for a roadtrip like this.Guys the cars look amazing,so does the views!✌️
My modified 2005 Subaru Baja Turbo(same engine, slightly more weight) towed 6,000lbs from San Antonio to San Diego.
What a road trip. I don't care what are you driving or how many hp you got. The trust to your car is good enough to prove what ever is that. views makes me feel relaxed. I also like driving. I really like this vlog 🔥
Buy Metal Horse lines, is a Brazilian brand of incredible quality.
Hey guys.....watching from St. Vincent and the Grenadines...love the show...Both cars are great, Question. Do you have a paint code for the Subaru wheels?
Thank you so much for this content guys. Feels like I also travelled with you on your journey. Keep it up!
I love these road trip series! If you guys feel comfortable telling us it would be cool to know how much money you guys spent on gas throughout the entire trip. Especially in these crazy gas times lol
If they were averaging 17mpg at $4.60/gal that's like $2600 per car each way. Lines up with Ben saying they'd use about 1000gal of fuel lol about $5k in gas between them
and now gas is even more lol
they used up 6k in gas and 6k in hotels all together
Loving this trip…..and the cars. One question many may be curious about: How do built engines need to be maintained that is different than standard, OEM, engines - rebuilding, wear, etc. Just curious on will they go for a long time like a stock engine is supposed to or do you need to plan on new say things every 50k miles. Have heard lots of stories on the latter end of things…. Thank you.
The only maintenance change is using a different weight of oil. The stock Subaru Ej motor would use 5w-30. But with a built motor, lots of guys used a heavier weight of oil. Using the engine builder will let you know what oil to use depending of the tolerances of the engine build.
Even w/ a stock motor you have to carry out major service around every 60k like apart from the timing kit.
always do not think about bad things because you might attract them.
be positive say hey we are going in advanture we will get there safe .
Long and trying trip. Beautiful scenery. Our you guys coming to Boxerfest this year.
I love this series man. Would love to see you guys take a 4th gen. Mustang and a 4th gen. Camaro across the country ;)
so good to see another road trip, a massive break away from the Track stuff!!! this gives so much relief and resonates with every automobile enthusiasts....
Can we all just appreciate how perfectly straight adjacent to the line Ben parked @20:34
@gears and gasoline, this the reason why I bought my first car. we already made 4 road trips.
Shoutout from the Philippines:)
I guess short Ben is taking it to the extreme in terms of test driving his new engine 😂
You guys should take some 800-1000hp drag cars on a road trip
probably illegal lmao
Imagine having enough gas money for this trip 😭😭😭
But seriously tho, both cars get around 20 mpg, assuming they have to drive ~3000 miles(Idk accurately) that's like 300 gallons of gas, or $1500 in gas money alone.
They *did* have a sponsor, so it makes sense
Are they planning to stay in Alaska? What about getting back?
@@nighthawk0077 They did say 10k miles. So…
@@01hafkee I know, I was replying to Carl
Not gonna lie, like the last 10 guys said the editing in these videos are amazing. I feel like this should be on motor trend lol! Great job fellas
i am glad yt showed me this, it such a soothing video while eating and just taking my relax time. yes yt show me more of this
I have been planning to do similar road trips. How do you all drive back? Do you take the same routes coming back? Is it 10,00 miles both to and from?
typically i dont, but most of the time you have to but you could drive the same route back using old highways or back roads depending on the state
Love your road trips! Great content.
Road-trips are the best content , would love to do it
Lol the gaz math ethanol , me rember my 50 cc mix but more bizz ther need a app to track xd
I live in Alaska and you guys should have driven from homer to prudhoe bay! Then kick outta ALASKA then you guys would have gone the whole highway system in alaska!
Aero makes lot of difference in gas mileage. Roof rack definitely making a difference.
roof rack? man. done thousand of miles with and without roof rack and roof box.
the difference can be marginal
@@edmunek maybe if the cars dumped like these cars are I would understand it being marginal. But with higher cars roof rack and the weight you put on will definitely make a difference. mine made about 1.2 mpg on my 3 inch lift 4runner. And the noise and whistling is definitely noticeable.
But nothing beats the mud terrain tires I put on. After that I stopped counting mpgs. =P
thats why the sti was getting lower gas mileage, the tire light was on for low air
Maybe he didn't have pressure sensors in those aftermarket wheels?
@@IvanRiveraStagea very well could be!
My mapped 2015 STI got 26mpg city driving and it never skipped a beat 😄 regret selling it so much 😫
City must mean highway
@@stevenyia2778 nope just my daily commute to my place of work around my city. I live in Scotland so we don't really have Highways 😆
doing a roadtrip with the boys soon, was wondering what roof rack u got and what kind of carrier? how do u like it, etc
You guys should come out to TougeFest at the Tail of the Dragon in November!
I drove from Toronto to Arizona in my 500hp Evo X only thing was I popped my rear driver tire. But man Road Trips in Evo’s hit differently!
I’m out here with a stock new car scared to drive to McDonald’s without breaking and these dudes out here doing this
