This man covers every single important detail for every single car he reviews. Top guy
But doesn’t know that a CD player is available
@@JeepCherokeeful No one is perfect. He still calls all season tires radials, when all car tires have been radials for like 50 years.
Why would you want a CD player?
ALL optical discs have built in obsolescence and will eventually stop being readable.
Copy them to digital and they last forever.
@@deejayimm gotcha, but people still use cds
@@JeepCherokeeful oh I know, there are still people out there using cassette players, but that doesn't mean they should start putting them in cars again.
The disc is no longer necessary.
People can adapt to changes, or be left behind.
I'm not hating on people either, there are lots of changes that I'm already refusing to adapt to and I'm not even 40 yet.
It happens to nearly everyone.
The difference is, I understand if I refuse to adapt, it's my responsibility to make changes that allow me to stay in the past on that particular issue.
Yes Ryan does an awesome job
Really hoping Subaru releases the Forester next year with this engine.
agree, I got a 21 onlyx outback but it was for the engine. If the same engine were available in the forester would have gotten that (for the better driving position). Subie take notice! Also Levorg in the US please :)
Thats my wet dream...
Forester Sport should have it with the Sport # mode
The Forester STi is coming...👍😅
@@xXCaHeTeLxX You pee in your dream 😂🤣
I Love audible. Never thought I could replace physical books but audible changed my opinion completely.
Haha you really look happy! Congrats and welcome to get Outback! I have 19' one! Drive safe and thanks for reviewing.
Always liked the way you give meticulous details!!! Always appreciate DSTV and love Subaru!!
Those final 10-15 seconds of the video are the best.
Great! I just ordered the same version and color! Looking forward for more videos.
Just picked up a Outback Onyx XT Wilderness, 9.5" of ground clearance, skid plates, upgraded suspension , X mode, and A/T tires. The CVT provides more clamping power for off road duty. These Outbacks are one of the best all around vehicles. Bring on the snow ! Really enjoy your reviews, keep up the excellent work. :-)
Have you ran into a situation where it wouldn't give you enough power because it was trying to save the cvt?
That trail looks really nice to off road! Great review! I enjoy watching your vids
Thanks for the review. The outback is a capable station wagon.
Thx man, I like your relaxed approach
3 months after I bought a 2019 Subaru Outback Touring 3.5R blacked out, Subaru came out with a real blacked out Outback Onyx XT edition. I was mad as hell.
Feelsbadman
It really amazed me how good the Subaru is on at least to me difficult terrain. Very well presented. You're the best.
Great looking spec and looked like it handled that end piece easily. Look forward to the next video. Thanks for the content!
Hopefully Subaru fixed the engine problem from the Ascent.
www.ascentforums.com/threads/new-ascent-unexpected-blue-smoke-from-exhaust-at-start-up-and-acceleration.8920/
great to see Subaru making more rugged options!
I have a 2020 Forester so different engine, CVT and gearing. But would love to see a pinch/tilt incline/decline test with the degrees to match. I have on stock tires at full air done 15-18 degrees with little drama. Everyone always talks about the need for a low range and locking dif . I’d love to see you test this things limits on inclines. And just for “fun” see if this can get close to the course Jeep uses for the Jeep Experience at the auto shows. We went one and it was fun, but their cost Mpg and practicality aren’t a good fit for our family right now. Anyways I’d love to see some “extreme” climbs with degrees. Keep up the good work, I hope you and your family are well!
Great vid,look forward to part 2
Congrats brother!! Holy shit, fn excited your channel is growing!! Hell ya.
Im currently looking for ATs for my onyx xt. Looks like ill be waiting to see your video first!
Great video! Thanks! This brings back great memories.
So your telling me the Subaru Outback is the best F-ing vehicle on the rode?! I totally agree! I'm now a new fan of the Outback and the rest of the Subaru lines. Your vlogs on Subarus changed my mind on them and i really want that Outback!
Liked before even watching because I watched the spec video!!!
You guys are nuts! Some quality driving.
I'm surprised at how good the blue looks with all the black, I wouldn't have thought it looked that nice. cool.
Ive used my 17 outback to tow a small boat to remote lakes accessible via seasonal and old logging roads in northern mi. It's been awesome for that. Sometimes the tree branches trigger a collision alert on the eye sight system! The roads are mostly rutted and sandy and there are no proper boat ramps but not had a problem . Replace the stock tires though. 45k miles no issues. I've also gone through ~10 inches of snow to get to the lakes with my ice fishing gear. I put Goodyear assurance weatherready tires on my outback. Also gone up some seasonal roads with hills to get to our favorite morrel mushroom locations, xmode worked well on the hills.
That’s the exact Outback I want!!!
Ready for more vids on your XT!
Used to watch TFL car for this type of thing. Then I found you. GAME CHANGER. you have the content I am LOOKING FOR!
Same here man, TFL sucks when it comes to offroading it's like they are scared to go offroading in their cars...they sucked when it came to offroading with their 2018 outback and then claimed that it sucked in offroad situations yet this channel with the same 2018 outback was able to go offroading in many different situations and was amazed of how capable the outback was and indeed it is very capable....
TFL is really bad. Idk if they are clueless about x mode or what but they couldn't take their outback places I've taken mine. Also they had a problem with the CVT that could have been avoided if they didn't thrash the throttle when they get stuck and let the computer work it out instead.
Excepting the Sunroof and the Audio, this is my new Silver Onyx. Thanks for the video.
Great video. I love the Outback! Subbed for updates
I’d love to see a lift kit on this xt model, I saw you up at exit 38 filming and am glad my car squeezing by wasn’t in any clips!
Heavy cargo!! Steep hills!!!!!!
Quality video as always, thank you very much
This blue color is so beautiful!
The blue color looks epic
Great as always!
I have the Continental all-terrain tires on my outback. They are not as aggressive or knobby as some other tires, but for driving 99% of the time on paved roads they perform really well. Consumer Reports gave high test results for handling and quietness. These scored the best for the all terrain tires that will fit on the outback.
I bought my wife a 19 Outback to commute to and from work. We too live in WA state and average 4-5 ft of snow. We would never take her Outback on trails that you take your Onyx but it’s good to know that we can if we wanted to.
I love your videos on Subie’s. Please keep them coming
Cool video. I have a 19 Ascent with most of the same features. I've towed a flat deck trailer but hope you give a try to say a 30' RV - I'm guessing you have the same 5,000 towing capability. The Ascent is a bit longer but I find with the 3rd row of seats always down I just have more storage. The Ascent has captain chairs in the back a very nice option. Do you have the cooled seating? I don't have the Premier edition but wish I had the rear mirror camera a very good option. The backup camera is great for a trailer - you should get it in the first try. Looking forward to the next video, a great location to put the Outback to a great test!
Sweet, luv it!! I have a Pearl White one.. The ride is soo smooth.. Best car on the streets right now for the value, IMO.. Checks all the boxes..
I really enjoy watching your vids. Exciting to watch and great to see this awesome new Outback, I have a 2016 Limited with x-drive without the turbo. I don't think it was an option in 2016. Thanks for your vids. Please keep them coming.
Would like to see your thoughts on the infotainment after extended use.
Hello! First off, this is Awesome! I look forward to future videos in this series! I had a couple things with the Onyx I was curious about 1) can you see if it’s possible to fit 17” wheels on it when you change to AT tires? I’d like More sidewall! And 2) I’m curious to see how it ties with something like a 2-3000lbs travel trailer! Hope you are well, thank you for these videos!
I have a Limited XT (with OEM skids, our Forester has Primitive skids) and the first thing I did was Falken Wilderness A/T Trail and great tire with more grip, looks and puncture resistance.
Very envious of this vehicle. I drive a 2006 Forester, back when the forester was a beefed up wagon rather than the SUV it is today. We will probably end up getting a gently-used lower-trim Outback in another couple years. But boy would we love an Onyx XT with all these upgrades. Can't justify the $$$$ though.
I bought an '18 for that reason. Wonder if there are still any '19's lurking on dealer lots.
Looks awesome! I agree on the color choice.
I want to see you try the hill/corner right after the water crossing 😁
Like ur vids. Like seeing everyday drivers being pushed .this way I know what my car will do if I go off road
This wagon in STI with 6 speed is my dream
Love that pose set up at the end of the video!
Great job! You show you care, don't change my fellow American!
Just subbed, keen on seeing more of the outback. Great informative video.
I love that new outback I have a 2015 Impreza sport hatchback. My question is does the Accent come with the same accessories as the outback
Amazing video, do this with the Ascent in this same road test please & thank you!👌🏼👍🏼👏🏼💯🦾
I plan on visiting the PNW one day. Maybe I can join @DrivingSportsTV and do this trail. I suspect, if my many off-road adventures are any indication, that with my all terrains, the Ascent will easily breeze through it. I am very impressed with the FA24DIT/TR690 drive train that the Ascent and Outback XT share.
I would really love to see you take this on the sand dunes in Cape Cod Massachusetts. I just took my 2016 outback 2.5i limited xdrive and upgraded toyo all terrain tires, and I got stuck several times. I ended up having to take my tires down to 4PSI and then pretty much had no problems. But I would be curious to see how this XT would do in deep sand.
Second!
So freaking awesome.
Let's get some goodies on that thing:
- RalliTEK 2" Lift
- Prinsu Rack
- LP Aventure Rock Sliders
- LP Aventure Skid Plate
- LP Aventure Bumper Guard
- Wilco Tire Carrier
- MAYBE a Torq Locker
I just paid off my 2013 Subaru Outback 2.5i, and I'm not in a hurry to go back into debt. However, your video shows me that the 2020 makes up for what the 2013 lacks in off-road chops, and tempts me heavily.
I'd like you to do a video on all the upgrades you can get to make your Outback as capable as possible. My wife has one and I'd like to see the possibilities.
Did Subaru finally go with stainless exhaust? I've owned 2 subarus over the years and both had the exhaust rot out in under 6 years.
I look forward to hear your thoughts on comparing it to tha Honda Passport. I remember you liking the Passport when you tested it.
Awesome outback!
Awesome video. Just got a 2018 limited.
Roof top tent please? Australian camping conditions - 8in snow max.
Thanks. Enjoyed your video.
Given how the biggest concern by so many is the CVT overheating, I think it would be interesting to see a service road with an extended incline; not with the idea of breaking the car or pushing it past its limit, but more to see how capable it is (hopefully) and to quell some of the concerns.
I do a lot of driving on service roads, so I really appreciate your channel that puts, “soft-roaders” against the kind of realistic service roads/backroads that many hikers/climbers/campers might see, vs unrealistic off-road trails that would typically only be run in a truck or Jeep.
I found your V60 Cross Country video very informative and it makes me curious how other, “soft-road,” vehicles with off-road modes would do, such as the BMW X5 or VW Tiguan, or even just popular vehicles with AWD systems, like the Acura RDX.
I realize I’m far from the typical car shopper, but many of my peers are in the same boat of trying to find realistic reviews of such vehicles, so please keep up the great content!
I love Subaru and we own an Outback I just wish there was more aftermarket support/performance parts and tuners for something other than the WRX/STI. Also how about a low gear Subaru?
10:26 what was pouring out? Seemed like a lot just for AC condensation...
Thanks Ryan! You must have been happy -as- like a child. Your smile reveals it :) One request from me, please check if the Outback can conquer the cross cut climb where the Volvo V60CC failed. Thank you in advance for the upcoming series. It's definitely going to bring me a lot of joy in the time of pandemic.
We’re just waiting on the ice to thaw for that. It’s still covered by several feet of snow! And thanks, yes, I grew up on a small island. It was a ideal good childhood. 🥳
@@drivingsports :D *like a child. But it's good to know :D Test it to its limit! Good luck!
Awesome! We have that car in silver and I'm wondering how it does towing it's max rating. Also would love more info on the high torque CVT
I'm sure it's junk like the rest of their CVTs have been. Only way to buy one is with the intent of selling before the warranty expires.
Nice.... so how do upgrades like changing rims and tires and adding a lift, possibly a wench affect factory warranty or their extended warranty? What can a Subaru owner do that doesn’t void a warranty and what can’t they do?
Can’t wait to see the Wilderness when it comes out
Do you have the route you utilized for this test? I live in the area and would like to adventure!
I would like to hear your thoughts on the actual towing of a trailer such as a 2000 pound or so travel trailer, please. Towing capacity in documentation is usually different than actual experience and I would appreciate your perspective. Thanks for the great videos.
I have a 2019 Outback (obviously not the turbo) and it tows an approximately 2,000Lb boat just fine, and still gets 18-20mpg. Does work a bit in hills but not that much.
This is so nice!!!!
I really like your adventures. The new a Subaru 2mode xdrive is intriguing. We have owned a Legacy for going on ten years and I have to say it handles snow unbelievably. We are looking to replace it this year and I have watched with great interest your reviews and test of the Rav versus the Forester sport. This outback has me intrigued. Our Subaru has been very reliable throughout and I would not hesitate to buy another. I like Toyota, and was looking at the RAV , but did care for the drive system on the entry to midline models.
Hey, how is the seat comfort compared to 2016 and upp? im still at my crosstrek 2013 but i havent find the seat comfort to be any better
I have a manual forester that has been great although it would be much much more fun with the turbo. I had a forester xt, but was not happy with the cvt, power was good but I question the reliability of the cvt. In your opinion, do you think the newer cvt engines are any more reliable than the cvt in the 2014 forester xt? Right now, it would be hard for me to buy another subaru cvt.
Great review !, I have a Forester 2021 with dual xmode, is it as capable as this onyx?
Gorgeous woods, I kept waiting to see Bigfoot.
One more thing. I downloaded an vibration app and a decibel app to compare the rides and the quietness of the Ascent. It was amazingly smooth as compared to previous Infinity FX45 and the Honda Truck. On the same road the FX45 tested at approx 5.1 vibration, the Honda was much better at approx 4.3 but the Ascent was amazing at a 3.0. The longer wheel base might make the Ascent a bit better than the Outback. I continue to be amazed at the ride of the Subaru, not something they talk much about.
You should get the brake calipers painted neon green to finish off he Hawks colors 😎
I hope a second part, excellent new engine.
I love audible!
Hi with your long term trial i want you to record CVT oil temp with outside specially in very hot day. I don't know if the big screen can access to this information, i hope subaru did it. If not you can have a OBDII bluetooth reader like blue driver or VEEPEAK with an apps to read this info live. I'm really impress by what i see in the part 3 of this series. This outback has an transmission oil cooler or not??? Near the end of your trial if you can find CVT oil life in % like after 10-15000mi with many offroad adventure with maybe few towing small trailler with 1800lbs to test the CVT toughnest... Thanks in advance for your info.
Do you have something similar to desert sand to test on?
Great Job! You always come through!!! Id really like to see a video dedicated to X-Mode, detailing views from inside and out, so you can see and hear what the car is doing, especially while descending. Not enough good downhill xmode videos. Thank you for your great work.
Great blue color!
I have a '22 XT Limited in the same color coming in at the end of July.... I hope....
Could you do a test up a very steep dirt hill as well as hill decent down?
How about that 180* front view camera? It's useful when going over those peaks.
Curious how chunky tires and/or a roof tent affect the gas milage. Thanks for your Subaru reviews - especially with the Onyx!
I just watched another video and he said 21mpg. With Goodrich, roof top tent,spare tire rack and full LP front brush bar with under carriage protector.
Pretty impressive
Seems like you are in the PNW. Would love to find this trail to take my blacked out (Onyx'ifide) 2020 Outback XT Touring.
It looks great! :)
Great vehicle man I think it's very capable for a crossover
What made you choose the Outback over the Passport? Sorry if you’ve been over this, I only recently found your channel and I’m still making my way through your library of videos.
Love this video
Test drove one of these XT's and considering it as a family vehicle. Currently driving a '17 Impreza Sport, but the added room in the Outback, especially with those rear seats folded down, makes a lot more sense.
I went from a 2011 WRX hatch to the new XT and have loved every moment of it. It's not as fun to drive on curvy roads, but the ride is 100x smoother and it is such a better family vehicle.
How is the RF sounds system upgrade? None of the OBXTs at the dealer have this option to test and will need to order it from factory.
Can you share which trail this was in the PNW?
Thanks for another great video! I have been undecided between the regular Outback 2.5L with the better gas mileage and the Outback Onyx 2.4L XT with higher HP & torque. I think you have convinced me to go with the XT for the power and the 2X Mode, in spite of losing 3 MPG in both city and hwy. (I do love the Touring leather though!) I'll let you know my final decision soon.
Arne, get the XT!! I have had 3 Outbacks and the 2020 XT is the best one I have owned! Got the 2020 Oynx Edition 4 months ago. Great machine.
I love how this one looks! Is there a Onix XT version for the Crosstrek?
Closest is the new Crosstrek Sport.
