What You Get

The Only Forester Built For Real Dirt.

Nine other trims trade in screens, seats, and stitching. Wilderness is the one that trades in capability — the only Forester that's mechanically different where the pavement ends.

What Wilderness Adds

Not trim. Hardware.

Lifted suspension — the only Forester in the lineup that sits taller for the trail
All-terrain tires from the factory — no aftermarket project required
3,500-lb towing — double the other trims, enough for a small camper or utility trailer
The Forester foundation stays: every safety system, the same AWD, all the space

The Honest Trade-Off

Capability costs at the pump and on the freeway.

28/24 mpg — the lift and all-terrain rubber take their cut
A busier highway ride — you'll feel the trail setup on the commute
If dirt is twice a year, a Premium with the right rubber handles it and saves you $5,000 — we'll say that before you spend it

$36,995 starting MSRP — your out-the-door number comes in writing before you set foot on a lot.

The Honest Ladder

Step Down? Step Up?

Step down?

Be honest about your weekends first. If the fire-road trips are more aspiration than calendar, Premium at $31,995 saves you $5,000 and keeps every safety system and the same AWD — which handle the occasional graded dirt road just fine. Wilderness earns its price when the lift, the tires, and the towing actually get used — not when they ride around unused on the 78.

Step up?

Not on the dirt path — no Forester goes further off the pavement than this one. Touring at $39,995 costs more, but that's a comfort ladder, not a capability ladder; it gives up the lift and the tires. If you need more capability than a Wilderness offers, that's a different-model conversation, and we're happy to have it honestly.

No pressure either way — we make the same honest recommendation whether you spend $29,995 or $41,545.
