9-10-2020: It's been a month since I released a YouTube video, so sorry! I've been busy with work, and vehicle projects!
This video has been a long time in the making, I finally got the chance to trail with a 3 year overlanding friend, Marc from the YouTube channel @the.rooted. progress ! We both use to drive SJ Forester XTs, both had our CVTs die on us and we both had different ideas for our replacement "Adventure Mobiles".
***Please keep that in mind when you watch this video. These are our adventure mobiles, aka destination overlanders. Although we're trying to tackle rougher than usual terrain, we did not purchase our vehicles to primarily "WHEEL". Case in point, I have 56K miles on my 2019 Passport and it has been only 22 months since I've owned it. living in So Cal, USA, I have to travel great distances to get away from civilization and onroad handling, comfort and efficiency is very important to me. With that said... if you want an offroad vehicle, please note that these vehicles probably aren't the best choice. Purchase a vehicle according to what you need it to do! That's the best advice I can give***
