All fair critiques, but driven with a minor amount of skill and scorn for resale value you can go pretty much anywhere there are roads. Once things become trails, you're screwed, but I've camped a lot of places where the only other vehicles were lifted trucks/suvs. I just had to pick my way in more carefully than they did.
Here's a picture of the type of place we find ourselves a lot. It's not bad, but you have to watch for rocks/ rutted lanes as you can't straddle much. The Transit Connect does have short front/rear overhangs though and that helps a lot.
But at the same time I would have explored farther down this particular road if I had a more capable vehicle. We were pretty far out and I didn't want to find myself stuck if larger ruts emerged or things got unexpectedly sandy where I couldn't carry any speed. Still, for right now it's not a bad tradeoff. I'd love a next gen Transit Connect on the Maverick platform though.

Please keep us informed on how you dig the Wilderness. Kid going to college in 2 years, taking wife’s current Outback and sights set on a Wilderness for the Mrs.
Buddy had a 2017 Taco, just got the new TRDPro 2022. Really really nice truck.
But the seats are still not that comfortable to ride in for hours. I couldn’t buy one.
There’s much better vehicles out there for that kind of money imho."boobs just make the world better really" - Woodsy

We like our Mazda CX-5 turbo. Decent room and great power. Rides nice. Carbon version is good balance if you can find one
Sent from my iPhone using TGR ForumsI need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....
Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

You should buy a miata. Lift it (https://www.flyinmiata.com/default/lift-kit.html). Turbo it. Add a roll bar. And put a roof top tent across roll bar/a pillar. A pair of blizzaks for winter and bobs your uncle.
Women will flock to it. Especially if you get an NA with the cute headlights.

I do kinda miss my NA. Those cars are fun AF.
They rank only slightly above the Harley for camping though.

I've owned my NA...for 20 years now. Bought it as my first car at 16.
But damn is the ND2 tempting. I have a feeling the NA and ND will both be iconic in 50 years. NA as the first and most analog. ND2 as a return to NA form with 30 years of refinement and the last of the ICE, manuals.

My pops had a 95 NA. That was a fun car to rally up and down the cottonwoods in the summer. Just enough power to get around the corners and small displacement such that you really had to wring it out and learn how to row gears. It was all fun and games until my brother ran it into the side of the garage.

Chiming in: 94 M-edition in Merlot here. Still regret getting rid of it.
Oh, and that 911 Safari is the most sensible thing posted so far.I still call it The Jake.

Did not read every post in this thread, but how about the new Bronco Sport ?
Young TRG phenom StealYourFace has one and I really like it. Turbo for good performance at altitude, mpg in high 20’s sometimes low 30s, fold flat seats, based on the Escape platform for reliability but with a much better 4WD drivetrain. I was really impressed with his.

That was the rumor last year. Moving production to the Hermosillo plant where the Maverick/Bronco Sport are built and move it to the same C2 platform. The Maverick has a very similar cargo capacity to the current Transit Connect and the 2wd Mavericks have a similar twist beam rear suspension setup as the TC's do, so I can see it as possible, but who knows if it will come off. I haven't read anything new about it, but it's also not a car that really inspires online chatter.

Been a Toyota fanboy since I could drive (30 years?). Just picked up a CX9 to replace a 1st gen Venza when my wife was tagged by someone running a red light.
Have to admit, might be becoming a bit of a Mazda fanboy.
The day we picked up her CPO CX9 they had three on the lot in Reno. Sweet little ride.

Any rumors of hybrid/all-electric offerings from Mazda any time soon?
