Top 5 Features of Subaru Vehicles for the Outdoors

When you are ready to head out and explore everything Georgia has to offer in the great outdoors, there is no other SUV or wagon to turn to. Your adventure will be found behind the wheel of a Subaru from Troncalli Subaru. Few other models were built to withstand the challenge of your hiking, biking, or boating excursion like a Subaru. It doesn't matter if you stick with the Subaru Crosstrek or Subaru Forester crossovers, or like the versatility provided by the Subaru Outback wagon, there are plenty of ways a Subaru excels in getting you prepared for your next adventure.

But what specifically is it about a Subaru that makes it the choice of Dawsonville drivers who crave the feeling of fresh air and wide-open spaces? Troncalli Subaru has put together a list of our five favorite features that keep Dahlonega drivers behind the wheel of a Subaru when they are ready to discover new frontiers. We know once you climb inside a Subaru, you will love each of these features as well.

1. Performance Built to Explore: What makes a Subaru a Subaru? If you ask us, it’s the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system that comes standard on nearly every Subaru model. This system is the gold standard when it comes to the distribution of power along the streets of Dahlonega, with its quick response and impressive handling. It is the 8.7-inches of ground clearance that allows it to ford through creeks and over rocky terrain with ease. It is Subaru X-MODE, an exclusive program designed to help you get up and down rugged terrain and gives you better power and grip to your wheels. When you add it all up, the Subaru lineup is well prepared for any journey.
2. Cargo Room Galore: When you head out for your camping trip or hike, you need to consider what to bring. You have your cooler, backpacks, sleeping gear and much more to pack away. When you drive a Subaru, you know you will have plenty of room to store your supplies. The Subaru Forester gives you 31 cubic feet of storage behind the rear seats. The Subaru Ascent provides as much as 47.5 behind its second row. The Outback gives you more than 32.5 cubic feet of cargo space. That alone is plenty of room to keep your gear. The standard integrated roof rails let you add on items like a bike rack or luggage rack.
3. StarTex Upholstery: Nothing says adventure like getting a little dirty. Sometimes that mess can find its way inside. It can be hard to clean up after a day at the lake near Gainesville or trails of Alpharetta. That is where the available StarTex water-repellant upholstery comes in handy. Available in the Outback Onyx XT Edition and the Subaru Crosstrek Sport, this synthetic material prevents moisture from soaking into the foam padding of your Subarus seats. It is more durable than the standard cloth seats or leather upgrades. You will still have to vacuum out the mud and dirt from your carpet and headliners, but your seats will hold up to any manner of materials, whether it is a wet swimsuit or spilled fruit punch.
4. Impressive Towing Ability: Though not as powerful as your typical pickup truck, a Subaru can more than hold its own when it comes to towing. Depending on the model, you can expect your properly-equipped Subaru can tow anywhere between 2,000 pounds to as much as 5,000 pounds behind it. That is plenty of power to tow items like your camper, boat, jet skis, or dirt bikes to your favorite locations.
5. Bring Along Your Furry Companion: No camping trip or hike is complete without your partner. There is a reason The Bark named the Subaru Outback and the Subaru Crosstrek on its list of dog-friendly vehicles. There is plenty of space in the back seat or cargo area for man's best friend to chill out on your way to your destination or stare out the window at each passing landmark. You can even add a crate for the back of your Subaru to keep your companion safe and secure across every trail and track.

Whether you plan on heading to Alpharetta or Gainesville, your journey starts in Cumming, GA. Enjoy your next trip outdoors in a new Subaru and explore you own reasons why it makes the perfect vehicle for your travels.
