Outback's are awesome for reliability with the 2.5H4 SOHC engine.. My family has 3 Subaru's using the same engine, and they've been great.. :D You may also want to consider the Forester..

If the roads in Van are anything like last Dec/Jan, you would definately want to get dedicated snows..

Tirerack has some pretty cheap Blizzak WS60s on sale right now..

and for those 4runner owners the older 91-94 had rear wheel abs..... how did you guys take that in slippery conditions? (never had a car with rear wheel abs)

you can but you need a subframe drop. It's almost not worth it though doing a subframe drop.

4runner all the way!!!
Had a 92, wish I never sold it. It was right before last years big snowfall too!

OP : you do know they are predicting a mild winter this winter right ?

warm, with lots of rain

where did you hear this? If it is i don't need anything else

It's because this year is an El Nino year so they are predicting a warmer winter than last year.

^ DAMN!

so predicting like... no snow? .... cause this can save me 6k :D ahaha

I say forget the 4runner and the Pathfinder and get yourself a nice Jeep TJ. The 4.0 liter HO is beyond bulletproof and they are the honda civics in the world of offroading when it comes to aftermarket support.
