Subaru destroys 'real 4wds' in mud pit

Lol... Me

Yep

Hahaha same

Subaru is the first and last car brand I will ever buy. I've only owned two and I may never buy a third because I'm confident my 2018 will last me till I'm an old man

Shut up, Karen.

Subs are not British do...

Bruh. It’s in Australia for a start and subies are Japan made.

The tea siping is very important

Good AWD, decent power, and most importantly, a fraction of the weight.

This Subaru wasn't from the 90's

most Subaru's are good for off-roading the engines are built tough, almost every subaru owner i know their subaru has over 300 thousand miles on it and it still runs like brand-new

Impreza all the way! Best 6 weeks of my life owning that thing was - but I couldn't afford the fuel or the insurance at 21 ... Great days ...

Oh, so you also came from that video?

for real i bet this already happend into so workshops or something😂😂

Hehehe 👍😁

I don't believe this many people on the trail are that oblivious. They do it for "the challenge" but fails to realize the subaru is just built with a much better lsd in the first place

all subarus is all wheel drive right? cause im planning to get an subaru legacy for college as a first car and make an rally build with it

@@tranxvillanueva1092 a legacy is not in any way rally spec? Its a luxury sedan? Wtf are you on about

rotag_bhd reminds me of my Suzuki Drover. Dad’s Pajero took one look at the very wet and muddy paddock and went nup not doing that! My Drover loaded up with 4 large bales of lucern hay, 30kg bag of pollard, same for a bag of bran, 25kg bag of oaten chaff and same again with lucern just strolled through the boggy wet paddock like it was a Sunday drive.

Its not as wide as the big trucks. That helps out alot

@@KClife9 so trucks should have longer and narrower bodies then because the results are much better.

Right, the very lightweight do not sink deep, my CRX Honda used to go places Jeeps couldn't get to.

That remind an incident we had offshore. With the supply boat during rough weàther. The boat was trying to align itself with the oil rig, with the sea current moving the boat abt. Some how one of cable was rally streched and snap killing one of the rigger onboard. I don't want to discribe how the body was, but I didn't eat the whole night remembering the incident.

Yes 4x4 gets you farther from help

@@jogower2105 - I also like the 4x4 Bumper Stickers that are printed upside-down that say: "If you can read this, please flip me over."

This generation doesn't have x mode that on more modern model years

Thats a lot of non-sense care jargon. It is open diffs at front and rear. Its the center diff that is key(not really a center diff, i believe the center is a combo front center diff). It will force a max of 50% power to the rear. Once the front slips, it will max out to the rear. As long as 1 tire on the front and 1 on the rear are not slipping the system works in off-road. If you try to rock crawl this thing it will struggle. Those other cars have an open center diff. Basically these people bought lifts and big tires, and don't know shit about off road.

They actually recently started making aftermarket center lockers and rear lockers for the subies, Im custom fitting an ARB air locker from a navara to my 04 forry and getting a center locker lol

@@AB-nv7bz subaru vtd comes into chat

​@@lukemurphy7936- this is 2023 and by the body styling that was a pre CVT subby.

Lolol right! People have forgotten that Subaru was initially famous for it's off-road capability.

It is a Subaru commercial... disguised.

It should be a 4wd parts store commercial. If any of those trucks got locking diffs, they wouldn't get stuck. Subaru AWD is legit, but these people don't even have locking center diffs. It makes 4wd worthless, it just doubles the chances to find a spinning tire.

Brassnox Noxette 😂

@drewskie 1996 open diff / lsd in my truck with the poweof btm it has no issues off road

🤣

@ekim andersom Yes, yes it does. The other vehicles would've cruised right through it if they weren't dumb and had locked their hubs, or had the correct diffs.

Not everyone can afford to spend thousands on lockers

Exactly dude😁😂😂😂😂😂

Buy a Subaru 😁😂😂😂

@@wendelljohnson760 all modern 4x4s have brake lock diffs so it does exactly the same thing as the Subaru minus the open center diff

😂

😂😂

It will get stuck 100%. The subaru's don't have locking front and rear diffs. If 1 front and rear tire starts spinning its over. The idiots in this video through tires and a lift kit would save them. Its all about locking diffs, and the nature of the subaru awd acts as a center locking diff. Its a great system, but its not for true off-road.

@@AB-nv7bz False, the 04 WRX have rear and center viscous lsd diffs with an open front, so at least 3 wheel drive in slippery condition.

Funny, because in the CO blizzard of 2006 all I saw was cars and Subies stranded because of their limited ground clearance while I just cruised around in my '05 Dakota that had the AWD system from the Grand Cherokee. The Subies just got stuck worse than the Camry's. My 2024 Colorado ZR2 would make even lighter work of that with it's much greater ground clearance, 33's, and 3 lockers. I didn't see a single Subie in my 3 days on the trails at Moab last month (just Jeeps), or on the trail last weekend where there was a "rock garden" that would have stopped any of the small SUVS including my 2010 V6 AWD RAV4....well, unless you wanted to leave the bottom of your engine and tranny cases and all their fluids along the trail...LOL Yes, some of them can be surprisingly capable, my RAV having the advantage over the Subies of a real, mechanical center diff lock, but in the nasty stuff, nothing beats actual lockers and good tires. My ZR2 breezed thru stuff I wouldn't have even attempted in my RAV.

The Subaru Didn't need one :P

The triton has traction control so that comes pretty close. And you can see it working when it spun every tire as it was stuck

Joe Schmoe exactly. Without diff lock it’s not 4x4

Subaru's AWD > everyone elses. Still, it'd be nice to see another 4x4 vehicle lock its diffs as a more legit comparison. I always love seeing how Subaru's AWD perform against 4x4s with locked diffs.

I have wheeled with a stock touareg, and the AWD system in those is amazing too. Clearance is the only issue. People underestimate intelligent AWD.

Aaron Cook fuck that lockers are useful yeah but but snorkels are probably more of a must to anyone who goes into any water crossings or deep mud a diff lock wouldn’t of helped that much with the car been stuck on the diff plus lockers are a lot more expensive if you want front and rear

@@uptheau1455Doesnt matter that they got stuck on the diffs, they wouldn't have made it through anyway. Only 1 or 2 of their wheels(with the least traction) were actually getting power.

You jealous cause a Subaru beat you

Yeah no shit lol

Ezra begin my full locked bronco could have done that easy.

Rugged Life u missing the most important point. Its a subaru...

and lsd or locked diff. that seemed to be the problem with the others

That says it all.. other than you're lucky no one lost a cheek due to a strap snap.

Rugged Life Subaru dors not have low range The others 4wd , if they have . Big diference 🤔

Adrián Alvarado they do have low range

Yea never underestimate stuck pumpkins, they're the most effective unintentional brakes you ever encountered when your momentum & wheels should've taken care of the mud pit.

I've got the chance to take one out now, and I must say, damn it lived up to my expectations. Nothing like passing a bloke in a 200 series bogged in the sand and hearing “a bloody forester”

Yeah, saw a video recently of a guy with a lifted truck talking about how he loves the ground clearance. I had to comment that the low hanging diff basically turns that ground clearance into 50%. My Stock Subaru has more actual ground clearance than his lifted truck because of that low hanging diff. Subaru's are basically flat underneath. A lot of vehicles have low hanging stuff. Another pet peeve is the Nissan Pathfinder. Actually all the recent Nissan SUV'ish vehicles have it, the low hanging bar, looks like a support bar of some kind that just kills the ground clearance.

Johnny J You sir are a legend. You made a very wise choice

That's awesome!

Yeah I had 3 different jeeps and the only way they do good is doing modifications on the differentials and I have now Subaru and they do awesome no modifications at all

Great story!! I have a 86 GL10 TURBO WAGON I bought about 10 years ago with a blown Head Gasket (wouldn't ya know it) and after the purchase it sat for a good 2 years and another 3 years b4 I got it. 5 years it sat . My friend had an emergency in the deep Mt snow and the only way up was my Subaru, (it's lifted 4 in. With 29in. BfG ATs btw) so I threw some gas in it and a new battery that night , fired right up and actually ran amazing to our/my surprise!!! So blown HG (found out it really did have a bad HG lol) we departed on a 150 mile snow rescue mission and I tell ya I was blasting by yotas with 40s it was insane. The turbo intercooled ea82 actually had some good power to roost snow and the dual range helped also. I still have the car it's having issues again but 8 years of solid service after this happen. It over heated so bad that day but I later rebuilt that motor (cracked heads and all!) And it's been a soldier! I think the motor is done now sadly but I'm planning an EJ22 stroker NA swap should be easy being it's already a MPFI car. Also has the 4wdisk brakes and fox coilovers in back. My son who's 3 will drive that car someday!

Too bad they're small gay n ugly

Before I watched it I knew this would be the difference.

Good set of muddies onthe sube too

You can actually see where all the 4x4s diffs are dragging if you look at the mud. Still pretty impressive of the subi

That's exactly what happened lol

Which is why I love the independent suspension on my truck

Should be title "Limited Slip Differentials (Subaru) vs. Open Differentials (Stuck 4WD SUV)"

The title of the video is bound to attract some hate, but he sure is killing it with the number of views he's getting. In all seriousness, I think every single truck or jeep out there, open diff or not, will think they are superior in all aspects of trail riding. We all know that all but the most top of the line trucks and jeeps have diff lockers (atleast here in America). The most basic Subaru always has it's full time all wheel drive system, it's not even an option (with the exception on the BRZ, not even sure if they sell that car in Australia). I'm not saying a Subaru can always compete, but there are somethings that they are good at. Lightweight, small, good power to weight ratio, well balanced, low center of gravity, super tight turning radius, fuel efficiency are what come to mind. I had this guy tell me "you won't make it, there's a 3 foot drop off" while I was ascending up a rocky mountain. But he was driving a Ford Raptor, a very very wide and gigantic truck, he only had 1 line to ride down. My little Subaru had all sorts of lines to ride up. I snaked up that mountain with no problem in my CVT turbo Forester with stock height but A/T's. Not bad for a little grocery getter.

I have a CRV and they are awesome for light off-road when setup right and reliable as hell. I also have a Subaru and nothing can touch it in this category.

The Forrester is full open diff (front, center, rear). Only the WRX STI has limited slip diffs.

Nope. It has a viscous coupling diff in center and a LSD in the back. A weak LSD, but it's there...STIs have a more advanced center, stronger LSD(Torsen, I think) in the back and another LSD(helical, I think) in the front. This one probably has lockable diffs in front and rear.

For what? Shiting your self?

No... Forester : "Hold my front locking diff !!"

Hahahah 2 min mark...

@@dkraft1 That is amazing car! I've never seen one in real life

I love my forester!!! I turboed it here in America

Yeah just cope man 😂

No locking diffs on the subl

Yeah... But that's less of a criticism of the comparison and more an advertisement for a better design.

Most 4wd's have an open diff up front.

the Subaru has like half the usable torque (if that). I own a 2018 2/5i base model, cause I don't care for extraneous electronics. It can barely break loose on traction cause it barely can make any usable torque. Still, works for me on the highways (very quiet), decent gas mileage, ditch the stock tires (Subaru should be ashamed of that crap...or sued). Have yet to truly test its AWD system, though it handles 7" inches of snow on those shitty stock tires.

The only Subaru without an open center diff is the WRX STI. Everything else within the Subaru lineup is open diff.

Not true, all manual Subaru's have a viscous center diff. Automatics I don't quite understand but is very front bias, manual is 50:50 nominal torque split. Today's Subaru's are losing the rear LSD and using traction control instead (sucks!), meaning Subaru's are open left and right. The WRX STi has a epicyclic center diff which. The DCCD does NOT set the torque split. It sets the max locking force. When the diff is OPEN (when the DCCD is set all the way back), it sends about 60% of torque to the rear. When DCCD is set to auto or full "front bias and front slip is detected it can almost fully lock the front and back axles. WRX STi also has LSDs on both front and rear differentials due to the center differential being open most of the time.

+George Xian My manual 2003 Subaru Baja is the only baja with a rear LSD.

1more earphone

George Xian Older Subaru automatics have no center differential, so when the center clutches are engaged, the center diff is locked. (Think PTO shaft on a tractor, or other heavy equipment.) My 1998 Forester L has a 4 speed AT, traction control, and ABS. A Subaru dealer told me that the Forester is the first mass produced car to have traction control.

because you can't get a dick extension.

@@AClRCLEOFLlGHT that's a category 5 oof

@@AClRCLEOFLlGHT you actually can

You are actually correct my good sir, have a like

More power. More power. NO!!

Yeah pretty spot on... Aso when you go in at high speeds you have a lot more energy when you hit something that stops you which forces you farther into the mud instead of 'hydroplaning' over it like some people think it does.

@@robcampbell7175 yeah, i was actually writing something very similar to that, but didn't quite know how to word it. thanks for doing it for me.

Yes, I did this with my mom's Toyota Corolla and shamed everyone at the mud pit with their lifted F-150s and Jeep Rubicons.

+Nate Brindabella Actually some older vehicles are better. New vehicles use open differentials (usually), and if you go way back, they didn't even have differentials, so they were solid axle, so you won't have 1 tire spinning and the other sitting, they all spin at the same rate. I welded the diffs on my racing mower (its called grasscar), and now I can safely handle 30 mph turns because instead of rolling over, they are allowed to slide and drift. In a mudpit, they pull just like a utility quad because they are both getting power to them, instead of just slipping one wheel. You can go through a lot more, you actually end up over doubling the grip (one wheel always gets a little more traction than the other, and with open diffs, it only powers the weekest traction due to equal toruqe split, however as soon as it looses traction power defined as torquexrpm, and the other wheel gets no power so you get stuck).

Age doesn't mean anything (just like I have a 1.3 liter naturally aspirated engine, you might think its low powered or that it makes good gas mileage. Its rated over 230 HP stock, and it doesn't even make 10 mpg in town though), so some numbers like age or engine displacement are meaningless on their own. They don't tell you enough about the vehicle. What I was referring to was a design style period, not necessarily literal age.

my 3..0R Legacy estate with 2 bald tyres outperformed every vehicle around here in the 4 inches of snow a few weeks ago. There were numerous japanese 4x4 abandoned at the bottom of my hill, but my scooby just climbed it with no problem. I have 2, they are utterly awesome vehicles.once you find a good thing.............

what year is your outback? I have a baja which is based on the outback. the 2003 Baja has rear LSD, whereas all other bajas are rear open diff.

Jake Garrett how fucking far are you going back where a car doesn't have a diff? 1887 Mercedes? Because even a Model T has a diff, I've rebuilt the damn thing. And they're all open on old cars, that's why posi-traction was such a big deal. You may know about new stuff, off-road, whatever I'm not calling you dumb but you clearly aren't very familiar with older vehicles. My 1959 Rambler and 1966 Mustang do hilarious one wheel peels because of the open diffs.

😍😂😂

Tacomaholic 1 inch on a Subaru is equal to 10 inch on a pickup

They are building a proper SUV its called Subaru Accent. It's launching in America this month.

Jello Shot in America, I won’t be a proper SUV, just the same Subaru Magic, which isn’t a bad thing. It’ll be more proper than a Honda Pilot or Toyota Highlander, which are its competitors, but with no true low range gearing, it’s not as truly proper as a 4wd 4Runner. X-Mode does help. Mimicking low gearing and a locked center diff with hill descent control forward and backwards.

Subarus are the best of all. ;p

Tesla Cybertruck, you can charge via solar

Yeah, driver technique wasn't great with the "real" 4x4's. That likely played a part, along with not locking the differentials (if they could, then their failure is more driver error). I guess if your off-roader regularly gets stuck, you're more likely to floor it and hope that momentum overcomes everything else...

What about differentials, electronics, tyre pressure

@@comdrive3865 Yes, there are many factors, but locking differentials are the biggest factor. It's the difference between 4 wheels spinning (locking diff), or 2 wheels spinning and 2 dragging like boat anchors (open diff).

@@gordthor5351 did he just manage to get all four wheels spinning with equal traction and helped by the lack of dif clearance and possibly having a skinnier wheel track?? Did he have some kind of dif lock? Mud tyres? I'm impressed but genuinely confused as to why that was so easy.

@@fod8u There are many variables, but the main difference is that the Subaru has some type of locking diffs or limited slip. It makes all the difference in the world when power is going to all 4 wheel. It's far better than twice as good, because any wheel that isn't pulling the vehicle forwards, ends up a big boat anchor dragging in the mud, which the two drive wheels need to also pull through the mud. A spinning wheel is always crawling up on top of the mud. A none powered wheel is plowing deeper into the mud. Open diffs tend to lock one wheel front and back diagonally, so a more experienced driver would be constantly turning the steering wheel to try and get the opposite (dragging) wheels alternating power back and forth (diagonally), but even this is no comparison to all 4 wheels pulling all the time.

@@gordthor5351 The mud tires on the Subaru were probably the biggest factor. All Terrain tires with open diffs vs Mud Terrain tires with limited slip diff

I saw at least two trucks with the passenger side front wheel not moving while the rear was spinning.

Yeah lol

You obviously didn't watch the video.

Quote "its not 4wd when two tires don't move" this is how older 4wds were before traction control or aftermaket diff locks are added. Drive one wheel up a bank and the whole thing stops. The AWD system in the subie along with better clearance with no live axle diff housing hanging down make a joke of the 'big serious four wheel drives'!

You're missing the cuckold part

Back in college (2004-2009) I drove a 98 Plymouth voyager van. I also hunted and raced mountain bikes so frequently on crappy secondary roads and forest trails. That van handled mud well if you knew how to drive it and a fond memory of it was pulling an f150 out of a mud pit with the van, then driving through the same mud in front of the truck owner without getting the van stuck. Admittedly the low ground clearance did wreck two exhaust systems in the 6 years I owned the van.

Earthling1984 the second one was a Mitsubishi pickup
