  • How is it that you got this and a white Forester stuck in seemingly THE SAME location, both with two wheels in the air? Do you put the cars there to ridicule the manufacturer?

  • yes, it was done specially to verify Forester offroad ability.

  • i thought they are 4wd?

  • you are right, it's 4wd

    front and rear are blocked 50/50 but there is no 100% blockage between the wheels on same axle.

    So only one wheel on each axle is rotating (left rear and fron right).

    See another my video from another view, where the rear wheel is rotating.

  • So it doesn't have a brake-based electronic traction control, right?

    If it had, the computer would detect wheelslip using ABS sensors and would apply brakes to prevent the spin (sort of LSD simulation).

    This would send some torque to the wheels on the other side and would release the vehicle.

  • You are right, there is no "brake-based electronic traction control".

    But it would be great to find some videos with "brake-based electronic traction control" equipped Forester, to be sure that it will really help in such situations.

    You should learn what a differential is first

  • @sniperslaststand

    This is an older Forester, Im not even sure they had that technology back then. However, if you get the Forester S or higher, it should come with a limited-slip rear diff.. Mind you my Fozzie that has 473,000 miles on it wont engage the limited-slip, although I dont as much of it at that many miles lol.

  • 2009 Forester have all VDC as standar... it helps in this situations...

  • you should learn how to drive first

  • he went off of the trail, that's why he got stuck!

  • Possible measures immediately, stepping on the accelerator, brake gently with his left foot is at the same time.

    It can reproduce the pseudo-locking center differential.

  • This is called a diagonal stack.

    If you do not lock the center differential can not be improved.
