do not understand how most on here feel like it is the be all end all of off road created vehicles.
you’re on a --Raptor-- forum, full of Raptor owners and notorious Ford troll sasquatch77 and her 3(?) alias user accounts. Anyway, being on an auto enthusiast forum and not understanding the loyalty to that vehicle is a fundamental misunderstanding of what internet forums are for and why people come here.
Maybe the internet isn’t for you?
Perhaps allow for the possibility that the enthusiasm you have for the s00b, others have for the Raptor and probably in a lot higher numbers on FRF.
That said, I'd like to see a video of any stock-ish Subaru fording up to its windows. When you go that deep, you have to wait for the vehicle to flood before you'll have any traction (if it's not flooded, it's floating).
well... I took my ’97 SVT Mustang up north on vacation many moons back, was going to meet up with a Corral inmate in NJ to pick up some parts. Only... there was this hurricane working its way up the east coast. We made it from MA down to CT and the rain got worse. by the time I neared Hackensack, which prior to that day, I had thought was a name made up in the Superman movie, travel was virtually halted. We needed place to hole up and found a Holiday Inn, only it was on the other side of rt. 9 and no left turns in NJ, you have to take the mug handle. Well, I did and ended up in water over the windows, over the hood, lights dimmed, motor bogging, disapproving scowl on wife’s face - aka “the look”. It was maybe 5 seconds, but was not expected. She never gave me a hint of trouble, ( The Mustang, not the wife ) and I’m sure we were damn lucky not to ingest a cr@pload of water.
So it’s not out of the realm of possibility to wade a car into holy crap I didn’t think it was that deep water and be ok. It’s also possible get beached, swept away, stalled and a host of other problems.
But, that's the price you pay to play sometimes.
