Stopping. Towing is easy. Stopping is hard, especially with a trailer.

2022 Subaru Maverick Baja Edition?

I own a stock height pickup and a stock height sports car. The height difference between the bumpers is, as you point out, problematic.

yup. I’ve owned enough cars now that I know that nothing is guaranteed. I’ve had a car where headlights were a 5 minute job that required no tools and I’ve had one that changing bulbs required removing the bumper.

I hate doing wiper blades. It seems every brand had to tweak things, so the generic blade comes with 85 adapters, some of them need to be daisy chained to build some kind of lego style contraption.

we’re going to have to agree to disagree on this.

no nonononono.

What was it like loading stuff into the box? Can you even see into the box without a step ladder? This is a problem affecting all the full-size trucks lately - instead of adding retractable step stools, how about making the trucks not quite 7 feet tall?

Agreed.

picking your own options isn’t quite the same as full custom.

Every pound of battery you add to the trailer is one pound less of capacity for the trailer. My car hauler has two 3500 pound axles, so the gross capacity is 7000 pounds. That includes the ~2000 pounds the trailer itself weighs, so the actual capacity is ~5000.

I tow. (car on open trailer or a 7800# camper trailer...)

Subaru is weird. I was poking fun at how the trim/option package for “off-roady” became a model onto itself and is now getting a trim/option package to make it “more off-roady.”

It would be like if the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon became the Jeep Rubicon and then they made the Jeep Rubicon Sahara because the regular Rubicon wasn’t good enough. Notice that the “Wrangler” part disappears.

In 2002, the Subaru Legacy was a car and a wagon. There was also the Subaru Impreza, which was available also in sedan and wagon forms.

So, the Subaru Outback, which used to be the “off-road” trim on the Subaru Legacy, is now available with an “off-road” trim?

I replaced an 08 Outback XT with a 2010 Sierra, so maybe almost nobody, but I am somebody. I was cross shopping WRXs and trucks.

well, not sober I haven’t
