I took delivery Feb 2022 and am right at 19K miles with right at 9500 miles towing my 6700 lb 800 tongue weight 29 foot travel trailer. I've used 87 octane when daily driving it which mostly consists of big grocery runs, transfer station duty and some couple hundred mile day trips, light off...
I do have one regret and that is not buying the 2004 Turbo Forester. I didn't have as much money back then was towing a small pop up camper and had a choice between a standard NA Forester and the Turbo five speed. 04 was the ONLY year they used a detuned STi engine in them. 05 forward, they...
I've had mine since like March 2022. It is NOT a daily driver but has the Off Road package and mostly is dedicated to light off roading (National Forest), trip towing and transfer station duty. These things are a beast to park in town. So, I'm averaging right at 17K miles in 18 months with...
With the 8.4 screen, the trucks have manual analog dials for climate control. It is one of the reasons I prefer the 8.4 over the 12 inch screen being old school. The only ones with the electronic climate control are the 12 inch units because there is no room for analog type controls. I presume...
I had forgotten that so the 5.0 under the skin changes were complete. I had had a 1500 with the 8 speed since 2015 and assumed they had put it on the HD's at the same time. My 2013 1500 had the six speed which was not a bad tranny at all. More visceral and fun in some ways like passing on a two...
It is a very interesting time... I posted this another place after research and a similar question... I'm a gas guy also...
Speaking to the 6.4 hemi and any new gas ICE (internal combustion engine) version like a souped up six banger or adapted Cummins 6.7, who knows? ZF can't sit on their...
I got a cheap tonneau cover on Amazon of the "folding type" and it doesn't leak and took about 45 minutes to install. It has turned out great. Dust? Sorry, good luck as you cannot totally stop dust, just get over it. I've seen people obsess about that and get the most expensive tonneau systems...
Nope, it is a real 4WD on a renegade...with the different driving modes not like most AWD "cars." And we quit buying Subaru's because they went CVT... We'd had five over the years. I was ambivalent about the "modes" when I got it. MPG and good 4WD are essentials in MT. Once I got it and get 7...
My daily driver is th red hot chili pepper. Its 22 mpg and the ability to turn on a dime, haul dogs AND do some light off roading makes it my daily go to. I bought an 18 in May 2019 and they gave me a great deal. It had bells and whistles (8.4 screen/tow package/winter package) and I got for...
I don't know about now days, but undercoating was the big thing 30 years ago and the dealers would do them before you bought and force you to buy it that way for on the lot units. What would happen, is that they would not fully adhere in some cases and pull away from the underbody leaving a...
I cannot agree more. I got rid of mine after one winter and got some KO2's for this winter. They have the "blizzard" symbol and having had them on 1500's, I loved everything about them particularly Montana winter driving. The only thing I did not like was the tread life. They were "good" for...
If he is like us here in MT, they do NOT use salt. Basically in areas where they can never get ahead of the snow, they just sort of plow it down to a few inches and you drive on it other than the interstate highways. So, usually from late Dec till sometime in March. The worst is when it gets...
