It's been almost a year (11.5 months to be exact) since this trip out to the Hungry Valley SVRA (state vehicle recreational area) in Gorman, California. A fellow overlander was visiting from the Bay Area, so we rounded up 30 rigs to come out and practice off-road techniques (sorry I couldn't fit everyone in the video).
So, in this episode, the focus will be on the "cement shelf climb". I love this obstacle because it's always consistent. It doesn't deteriorate, it doesn't get rutted, it's always the same. I'd love to see the big RU-vid channels, that recently purchased LAND, to implement an obstacle like this into their tests. Lets see it @drivingsports and @TFLcar . Big shout out to those channels, Roman and Tommy made the 1st gen Touareg famous and Ryan is the guy that showed me what iVTM4 could do, so I went ahead and bought a Honda Passport.
Although this video is an off-road comparison, please don't confuse it with an off-road competition. Too many people get fanboy/fangirl about the car band they drive. Open your mind, and just observe how other vehicles perform. In this episode we see a stock Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4 4cylinder with a continuously variable transmission on bald street tires with a $20 spring spacer lift climb up the cement shelf obstacle. In the past, we've tried to get CVT Subarus with aggressive A/T tires up this obstacle with no success. So why is this? Because the Outlander was rocking "Wilderness" gearing, before the "Wilderness" was even a thing. The AWD system in the Outlander is a scaled down version of the legendary AWD system that was in the Evolution 10. The Mitsubishi crossovers simply don't get enough credit, and to be honest, I forgot about them too until I started editing this video.
In this episode we will see an overly built 1st gen 4WD Touareg vs. a 2nd gen AWD Touareg. While the original is impressive, don't sleep on the newer model, it has 406 TQ!!
Things to note:
-MOST VEHICLES ARE AIRED DOWN
-ALL VEHICLES ARE LIFTED (even the ghetto lifted outlander on bald tires)
-EVERYONE HAS HAD ATLEAST A LITTLE BIT OF EXPERIENCE
-WE WERE ALL SPOTTED UP
Stay safe!
