Plastic fantastic unfortunately. Real skid plates or no go for off road. Shame with the CVT. Off road really should have a 2 speed transfer case, too easy to cause damage otherwise.

I believe there is the aftermarket for the plates.

Did I see this right.  Auto stop/start is in the display    No button?

Did you install this?

A year ago. Works great

Just gives memory to the button, so whatever setting you chose holds

^ Seems like a no-brainer for a hundred bucks.

Subaru needs to be ok with this. Sometimes adding plates causes more heat. Heat + CVT = bad.

When the auto stop is active you get live stats in the trip computer - mine has a lifetime use of 5 hours and 30 minutes in 13 months. I turn it off in gridlock but leave it on for traffic lights - and we have lots of those!

There is one similar for the Honda Civic as well. Was thinking of getting one.

Good point.  The aftermarket seems to be quite expansive in this area - if one peruses the forums anyway.  There are separate plates for the diff as well.  I have heard that Subaru will be offering this as an add on but who knows.

Note that this Wilderness Edition has a CVT oil cooler.

I was just guessing from my Ridgeline experience. One of the reasons Honda gave for not offering a skid plate.

I was looking at a used Ridgeline as a possibility but apparently they don’t depreciate 😂. Used market is bizzare
