In western Montana there really is no such thing as off Road travel. Either there is some kind of road or you aren't allowed to drive there. You can't just take off across the forest at least on public lands. That said they don't maintain all those roads or plow them. Does a Forester rock crawl as well as a Cherokee, no. but I bet it will better then a stock suburban. The question is do you want to drive a car 185,000 miles with 100 of them being rock crawling just because you can? The amount of gas you would save could buy a trailer and a nice 4 wheeler to goof around on in the woods when the urge comes over you.
