ohh yes they test any cars outs there that can do something or cant do , but they still pushing them . they have good places to drive there , but most important they have comunities , friendly people , clubs that just goes test their cars . I wish i had those here more.
and those lifted dusters kinda beating foresters out there for they having locker for longer now and they using them , and its better to use those on dusters as they can drive just on one axle at time, so locker can be not used while driving on normal roads. but same can be said for their older or newer Niva 4x4 cars. strangely as they allready have localy made locker for subarus they not putting them so much or testing as they do with other cars.
so there is reason there where no subarus on that trip, as mostly they drive them stock with city tires no lift, no chance it could go up there with others.
and it shows in video that no matter how much money you put in car if its still open diff and heavy it wont do much when track somes to diagonals. In reality the more stuff you put on car the more heavy you make it and it becomes less capable. so then only lockers can help it some.
