They are surprisingly capable, and the older 4x4 models were arguably better
off-road than the newer AWD models. Mine is AWD, and in 5 years I've been
stuck twice: got high centered on an ice shelf with all four wheels about 2"
off the ground, and another time I couldn't make it up a hill. Of course,
it's worth noting that the hill was about 45 degrees, there was 15" of snow,
and a 1/2 inch ice sheet underneath that. Oh yeah, and I had summer tires.
<g>

When I got high centered, that night was so awful that my friend's snowplow
truck got stuck after he pulled me out. Since the tow strap was still
attached, I gave it a mighty pull with the Subaru and freed a GMC 3500
snowplow truck from the snowbank.

There are rumors of a foreign market only dual range tranny that is
floating around. Dunno if it fits newer US Soobs though.
