  2. Utility and Protection
    I have ordered a '23 Forester Wilderness that will be in around May. I have been looking into the skid plate and haven't been able to find a description of what all is covered by the plate. I am mainly wondering how much protection there is from loose rocks being kicked up on gravel roads or...

    I put in an order for a grey Sport last week and am expecting it sometime in May. It will be my second Forester and a worthy successor to the old 2002 silver stallion in my profile pic, which I've been missing ever since it died a few years ago. I was also very interested in the Wildy edition...
  4. Exterior and Body
    Just traded in my 2020 Sport for 2023 Wilderness. I got to close to an ice wall/snow plow area while parking. In the mountains, I was trying to avoid parking into a road lane, and I tried to get as close to off pavement. I know it's probably bound to happen but I thought it wouldn't be so soon...

I haven't found OEM or better quality complete strut/spring assemblies except for FCS...has anyone got more than 75K out of FCS strut/spring assemblies?

  6. Car Care
    I can't describe in words that moment when I spilled clam chowder in the worst spot in my car, all over the center console and a little bit under the driver's seat. Time seemed to stop for about a minute, and then I spent hours cleaning it up, using all kinds of cleaners and air dust remover for...
  7. Wheels and Tires / Tyres
    After a lot of research and measurements I decided to go ahead and try out some 17x8 ET30 wheels and 235/65R17 tires on my '23 Wilderness. Long story short, they fit perfectly with no rubbing. This looks to be the absolute limit of what you could fit on a stock Wilderness before you need to...

    So, this past Friday the power liftgate stopped lifting the rear hatch. We could manually open it, and use the power to close it. Every time we hit the buttons (Fob, door and cabin) to open it we got 3 beeps, and it did nothing. When we closed it with the buttons, it would close and we got a...

  12. General Troubleshooting and Technical Help
    Have a new Wilderness and noticed this from day one: there's a very subtle high-pitched ringing/whining at or between certain highway speeds (seemingly always between 73-76mph during acceleration). If I'm in neutral or decelerating, there is no noise at that speed. ** Sound reminds me of a...

    Hi all -- long time lurker, finally joined. Previous owner of a '17 Forester Premium. Just purchased my '22 Wilderness a couple of weeks ago. So far, so good (minus a mystery rattle that I'm narrowing down, haha). Looking forward to contributing where I can and learning more with each visit...

  16. Wheels and Tires / Tyres
    Thinking of getting a full-sized spare for my 2008 Forester 2.5X. I also want to use it in a five tire rotation to keep the treads all within the 1/4" circumference limit for AWD. Question: If I have a TPMS sensor installed in the spare will it automatically be recognized by the TPMS module...

    After about a 9 week wait we finally took our Forester Wilderness home and I am loving it so far! First plan of attack is finding a hitch that works with the Wilderness since the OEM ones are basically non existent.
  18. Towing and Hauling
    Like I commented on their YT clip, had hope a 2" hitch would have been installed from factory.
  19. Lighting and Electrical
    I want to get some off-road lights rigged up on my Wilderness, but am having trouble coming up with a good mounting plan. Anyone mounted anything other than ditch lights on their SK? I have been searching in vain for a grille mounting solution, or even a way to mount a light bar in the small...
  20. Towing and Hauling
    I just ordered my forester and want to add towing package so I can haul my 6x8 jumping jack camper, it has 2" receiver so wondering if I should get dealer tow package and use adapter up to 2" or go aftermarket? I don't want to lose a bunch of ground clearance with having an aftermarket one...
