Dual range transmission & cruise control

[Guest]

Some NZ/Australian & other western market models have hi/lo range and cruise. Do JDM turbo Foresters have either?

Looking at 97-2000 s/tb with under 90km. must be manual and fairly standard IE: not lowered.

SO no one here has a Foz with hi/lo?

maybe they're just not common in JDM models.

It's no biggie but I thought t might be useful for towing & crawling around in certain situations without labouring the engine. I intened to use the Forester's off road abilities to the utmost. They may not be proper off roaders but they some potential.

Ive never seen a dual range in a forster. Some legacys came with them. but they are very few and far between.

I thought of picking up 1 out of a 2006 leagacy ages ago. it was pretty cheap.

In the usa they didnt get dual range on EJ stuff.

I dont even think some JDM models came with DR i mite be wrong on that tho ???

It seems it was available on the non turbo Forester models only. Plenty of them around, just not the turbos.

Lots of Lancasters (imported) with the hi/lo.

I guess Subaru didn;t reckon on turbo buyers wanting to potter around delicate situations with low range an option. Never mind I'm sure I'll cope with only 5 gears, its bound to have the grunt to pull I just wanted to be kinder to the transmission & clutch in particular.
