Find the Best Used Car for Outdoor Adventure in Colorado

It is a staple of the mountain.  You'll see it roaming through Estes Park and Windsor CO.  Watch as they wander through Fort Collins with a purpose.  We're not talking about the Elk or Moose that find their way into the local municipalities.  We are referring to the migration of Subaru models that make the trek from Subaru of Loveland to places like Berthoud or Johnstown CO looking for adventure.

Drivers choose the Subaru Outback and Subaru Ascent as they explore their mountainous surroundings.  But why?  What makes these two daring SUVs ideal for conquering the Rockies?  Is it the 8.7-inches of ground clearance? Or perhaps the standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive you'll find on every Subaru in Fort Collins?  Actually, it might be the complete package.

Subaru of Loveland is quite fond of the its Subaru Ascent and Outback models.  We confident, there is no creek bed they can't cross. No campsite they can't reach. And no trailhead too steep.  It is time to discover what these legends of the wilderness are capable of accomplishing.

Used Subaru Ascent SUV

When considering a vehicle for your excursions into nature, you immediately think of is likely its engine and capabilities.  Then, after that, you probably think about who all will be joining you.  First things first, though, think of your family or travel crew.  The Ascent is a midsize, three-row SUV with room for up to eight companions.  If your seven-member expedition team likes a little elbow room, take a look at the second-row captain's chairs for a sense of individuality.  No matter which seat they get, each passenger will ride in extreme comfort.  And there isn't a bad view in the house.

Now, about that performance.  The Direct-Injection turbocharged 2.4-Liter SUBARU BOXER four-cylinder engine is a deceptively potent operator capable of churning out 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque.  But that doesn't begin to tell the story of the Subaru Ascent's capabilities.  The headliner comes in the form of the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with X-MODE on each trim level.

That alone is enough confidence to get you where you want to go.  But Subaru knows you won't be satisfied.  Tow the camper behind you, up the mountain with the 5,000-pound towing capacity of the Subaru Ascent.  The standard X-Mode gets the most out of your AWD by adding Hill Descent Control for a stable ride.  The 8.7-inches of ground clearance is customary for your Subaru and gives you the ability to tackle the most rugged of terrain.

When you consider other items like the Panoramic Moonroof to give you exquisite vistas of the skyline, raised roof rails for your boards or other skiwear, and the power rear gate that reveals 47.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, there is no reason to overlook the Subaru Ascent.

Used Subaru Outback Crossover

While the Subaru Outback may be slightly smaller in stature, it still holds its own on the trails.  This five-seat wagon comes packed with a lot of the same equipment you'll find on the Ascent.  But you get to choose between two powerful engine options to get you up the mountain. The first BOXER engine is a 182 horsepower four-cylinder.  The second comes in the XT levels of the Outback and is the same 260-horsepower BOXER you'll find in the Ascent.

The Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and 8.7-inch ground clearance are standard, naturally.  X-Mode off-road driving is a showstopper when you don't mind how dirty your Outback gets.  Check out the XT trims for selectable Deep Snow and Mud settings for an exciting and dependable drive.  Plus: You still get the raised roof rails and tie-downs, standard.
