A Subaru driver successfully navigated a Utah trail, but later received a National Park Service letter warning that a repeat could get him six months in the slammer
Subaru Crosstrek owner faces a $5k fine from the NPS over confusion between AWD and 4WD. The NPS warned the driver after off-roading in a vehicle not deemed suitable for 4WD trails. Despite the Crosstrek's high clearance, its AWD system doesn’t meet the NPS's requirements. Subaru ’s entire marketing effort is hooked around the security and capability delivered by its symmetrical all-wheel drive system, but that doesn’t wash with the US National Parks Service .
The last thing rangers need is hundreds of crossover drivers taking on trails in vehicles that aren’t up to the task, quite possibly with less driving talent that this person had, or in worse weather conditions.
