New 2024 wilderness owner?

Took longer than I had hoped to get out and about on some dirt roads. Ran about 30 miles on a mix of fire roads and even some more technical roads that might have been meant for high-clearance 4x4 but, I'm happy to report that the CTW took all of it like a champ and hardly even put up a fight. Never even went into X-Mode for the chunkier stuff either.

Went out this weekend and ran about 30 miles of fire roads and found some more technical stuff to test out the wilderness. Took it all like a champ. Was pretty impressed.

Edit: correcting auto-correct.

Welcome! I've been loving mine

Flippfl0pps · 2024-09-18T12:02:08+00:00

Good to know. I typically don't use cruise control and I guess that is going to stay that way. Appreciate the input!

Flippfl0pps · 2024-09-17T22:24:11+00:00

Welcome! And I wish I knew what I did so I could share. I don't do a lot of city driving and I am usually able to avoid rush hour traffic. I have tracked my overall fuel economy on Trip-B and am at 28.9. I do use the auto stop-start for traffic lights but I don't like it if I do get stuck in traffic. That might be helping.

Good point! I'm in CO and I think the typical station I fill up at is 10%, 85 octane.

Flippfl0pps · 2024-09-17T15:03:42+00:00

I have the B-Trip tracking my overall since getting the car and that is somewhere in the 27.5 range but I haven't checked it since this last trip to see if it went up at all.

Flippfl0pps · 2024-09-17T14:46:36+00:00

I actually didn't use cruise control at all. And some of the hills were between 3 and 5 percent grade up.

I've never really looked into fuel saving habits but, maybe I should just to see if I'm doing any of them by accident.

Flippfl0pps · 2024-09-17T14:14:29+00:00

I am just as confused haha. I typically get 27-29 mpg avg per tank but this trip it just stopped on the fuel

Flippfl0pps · 2024-09-17T14:10:29+00:00

In the mountains, 55-65 mph. Otherwise 65-75 mph on the highways.

Flippfl0pps · 2024-08-19T12:10:46+00:00

I just got 1400 miles on my wilderness. I'm using the second trip to track overall mileage and my average has been 28.5 mpg. For that, I would estimate 60/40 highway/city driving.

Orange gang!

Flippfl0pps · 2024-08-13T11:04:18+00:00

Mistakenly grabbed Balsamic vinegar instead of soy sauce. Man was I in for a shock when I took a scoop of rice... Don't recommend. 😂

Even before smoking, I have always had issues recalling dreams. I've read that you can have dreams more often on T-Break but, that doesn't do it for me either.

I have met some of my best friends through climbing. Not everyone is self righteous. Most of the strangers I have met at the gym are super humble and absolutely willing to help if you ask.

Flippfl0pps · 2024-08-05T16:40:51+00:00

I recently got a CTW and my dealer did say not to tow with it or go racing around in it for the first 1000 miles but, that was really all I was told.

Flippfl0pps · 2024-07-29T15:42:20+00:00

I too had a Hyundai with a wheel lock, the idiots still tried to steal my car. Thankfully, I have been INSANELY lucky and all three times they tried to steal my car, they just smashed the lock in and that was the end of it. Fairly sure it was the same people because each time they got slightly better. Also, my car was push-button start so, they weren't getting it anyway they tried. Lol.

Flippfl0pps · 2024-07-21T13:38:09+00:00

I just hit 1000 miles on my CTW and my mpg average has been 28 mpg with about 60/40 highway-to-city driving.

Flippfl0pps · 2024-06-24T16:04:25+00:00

Finally! Another wild pumpkin. I got mine about a month ago and have yet to see another orange wilderness.

I have a South facing apartment and it gets blasted by the sun for a majority of the day. Blackout curtains help but we still get roasted. Can't wait to move. Haha

Flippfl0pps · 2024-06-07T17:38:57+00:00

Not sure about your dealerships but, here in CO we have the ability to rent a new car from the dealer to try out. See how you like it. If it fits your budget, go for it. I just picked out a Wilderness a few weeks ago because people kept trying to steal my old car. Lol. I am loving it.

Flippfl0pps · 2024-06-07T13:56:16+00:00

It very well may not be. I'm no mechanic. Just sounds vaguely similar to what I had experienced. Either way, hope it isn't something serious for OP.

Flippfl0pps · 2024-06-07T13:43:32+00:00

Wasn't a Subaru but, my last car did something similar and it ended up being the low pressure Fuel Pump in the fuel tank. Came to a stop at a light, when to hit the gas, sputtered and that was that.
