Vw bug is a classic!
Bro you know those stickers that say “Mountains Please” those are literally ALWAYS on Subarus. Maybe that sticker is just a Washington state thing idkI have taken my 04 Outback 3.0 places that it should not be able to go. It has plenty of room for me to lay down the back seats and sleep in it when I want to. I have about 310000 miles on it now and it still averages approx 25mpg. Great car if you can get over the fact it's a granola eater car.
2019, Ram 2500, cummins
Last trip, 24.5 mpg on the highway
Obviously not towing
33k miles on it. Still breaking in....lol
Never did like the Japanese schhiit box tacos
Don’t put ko2’s on a Subaru, it will drive like shit with a tire that heavy. Several companies have come out with crossover suv all terrains that have better flat resistance and off road performance without totally ruining the handling of the vehicle. I think outside magazine wrote a decent article about it.i'm thinking about getting a subaru cross trek with a 2" lift and some BFG all terrains... probably not much for hunting specific, but i'm putting around 1k miles a week on my pickup, so i'm considering a car for that, and personally, i won't have a rig i can't drive offroad without any issues, because i'm still in the hills a good bit when out of town working... the subaru is about the only compromise i'm willing to make for a car, it will get good fuel mileage, comfortable to drive, still offroad capable, and probably pretty good, tougher tires to keep from getting flats, and keep the miles off my pickup, because i actually plan to keep it a few years, and i don't want to put that many miles on it if possible.
i don't have any delusions of that penciling out for me, but it would be handy to have for several reasons... my wife drives a tundra, so the car or my pickup would make sense for her to drive... we also travel 5hrs up the coast every other weekend at least, to our other house, Tundra isn't very economical for that.... my pickup averages about 17.5mpg, which is pretty impressive for how i drive, but a lot of my commute is done at 80+mph, and it doesn't do well in that range.... better than my taco(s) did, but still around 15mpg
Ironically & somewhat funny, I believe up until a year or two ago the Honda Ridgeline & Toyota trucks were more made in America than the big 3 "American" trucks. Now I think they all have mariachi music playing in the background at some point during the assembly process.I hate to break it to you, but I don’t think your truck was made in the USA either…ever see all the train cars filled with RAM trucks near the southern border?
The Falken Wildpeak AT’s have been excellent on my Crosstrek. Nearly 60,000 miles on them without issue.Don’t put ko2’s on a Subaru, it will drive like shit with a tire that heavy.

My Brother uses a Cherokee and seems real happy with it.I checked out one of the new ford rangers. It was cruising with good mpg. When I test drove one. The back seat was the deal breaker for us with our little ones still in car seats/boosters. But that truck was nimble. The Jeep cherokees are nice and nimble too and very off road worthy.

What is a meat rack?I have an old Tacoma but do a lot of my hunting with a Corolla with a meat rack.
Unless you tow regularly and can let go of your ego, the Subaru is a far more cost effective and efficient vehicle. With decent tires they will go everywhere and then some that most guys in pickups are going.I need to get something higher clearance for some of the roads around me and I'm looking at an Outback. Found a 2012 with 130k miles for $10k that doesn't seem like an awful deal. I can't find a decent truck for less than $30k it seems like.
I'm not thrilled about the prospect of driving an Outback over a truck, but the cost difference is considerable. And the Outback is fairly capable off road from what I've read.
Let go of my ego, great advice, I wish I wasn't as hung up on having at truck. I'm seriously considering it!Unless you tow regularly and can let go of your ego, the Subaru is a far more cost effective and efficient vehicle.

What about a 2000’s Toyota Tacoma. Those are 15k or less around where i live. What state are u in?I need to get something higher clearance for some of the roads around me and I'm looking at an Outback. Found a 2012 with 130k miles for $10k that doesn't seem like an awful deal.
