[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a truck.  An F150 or a ram 1500.  The Subaru won't give you the clearance.  [/quote]

Neither of these trucks can hack actual bad road conditions. I see them in the ditch often here in the mountains of CO in the winter. They are silly and get laughed at often out here.

I would go for a used Toyota Landcruiser OP. That said, my partner has hiked all 58 peaks over 14k feet in Colorado and gotten us up gnarly trailheads in our Outback. We do not ford 2 foot moving streams though. I have forded many rivers and streams in a Toyota Landcruiser with a snorkel, including feeling the vehicle unweight and float a bit. Did NOT enjoy.

Your “gnarly” trailhead access is basically the entrance road to where most Jeep trails begin. You have no idea what actual Jeep roads look like.

Picture a milk crate.  Now imagine a path made out of rocks that size. That’s what a typical Jeep trail looks like. Your Outback wouldn’t go five feet on an actual trail. [/quote]
