[QUOTE="OzzieAu, post: 608344, member: 4086"] The Subaru asymmetrical all wheel drive system is pretty much unchanged in principle since the early models... its just their transmissions that have taken a backward step since around 2013 when they introduced the CVT box and dropped the conventional 5 speed auto and manual transmissions. Luckily my wife can drive a manual, so I hunted down one of the last models (2011 SH) to offer a stick shift with the dual range transfer box. I drive a 120 Prado and I can tell you that the Subie will go most places that the Tojo goes and even some places it cant. Subarus offroad ability is highly underrated :power: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4086/1621486401_96fdb63f-6be1-433c-a53d-25cdb71e90fe.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4086/1621486401_73ff51f6-6a34-43ff-89a0-0fb825d5e672.jpg[/img] Go for a manual (if you can find one) or the conventional 5 speed auto... :Y: [/QUOTE]
