Subaru Forester in Snow (The Next Day)

Just a note, the Forester and most other Subarus have open front and rear diffs and just a mild but adequate viscus center diff. The symetrical laying aids in the capability and good feel, but if you want to do any serious level of off-roading, you need to upgrade the front and rear diffs. As well, tires are a big limiting factor, ground clearance too. Once the chassis's hung up, it's hung up. There are lift kits available up to 6". This is coming from a proud Forester owner. ;)

This was a poor video for sure

one conclusion, never give a woman your camcorder :)

Video does not make sense.
If there is no way you can not run.

I have a 01 grand prix gt and I pass 40,000 dollar trucks stuck in the snow. Skills usually beat machinery. Any small car with a decent driver will not get stuck. Its good to see at least one youtuber that knows how to drive (aka you peter)

agreed, the differential is what high centers in the snow. The rule is to stay on the road. If you start sliding into a ditch, or slope, it's all over except for the tow bill.

I drove my 03 Taurus IN a foot of snow up steep hills to a ski resort in PA (Big Bear) along with some back end slippage but I managed. This is def lack of driving skill loL. Subaru Forester will probably be my next car xD!

My '00 Forester has gone through bigger drifts, and traveled on roads that most cars were stuck on. It's not all the car.
WHY did you get stuck? What's the deal with the top of the hill? You didn't tell us and the camera doesn't show us, either.

I got stuck when I reversed to get the camera. Really silly. The Hill goes up for a while which leads into a little road that then goes either higher up or down. The farmer got his tractor and pulled me out of a hole that my back tyre had slipped into. After that I made it up the hill without a problem
