Hello,
I am new to this forum and am looking for advice. I've never owned Subaru, but rented one while on vacation and loved it.
I currently own a 2010 Toyota Tacoma and am considering selling it and getting an Outback. Originally I bought the truck because I wanted to get a camper, but decided not to get the camper. However, I do have an ATV and have to tow it to the trails; possibly hundreds of miles.
Anyhow, with the prices of gas on a constant rise I am seriously considering selling the Tacoma and getting an Outback.
Most of my driving is in the metro dc traffic and the Tacoma fuel costs are getting expensive.
I'm looking for some advice and information from Subaru owners to help me make a decision.
One question I have is, how well will the Subaru be able to tow a 1000# load through the mountains?
I used to own a Rav4 with a 6 cylinder and used it to tow my atv. It wasn't too bad.
My concern with the Outback is the possible lack of power using a 4 cylinder to tow. However, I like the idea of better gas mileage while commuting, etc...
Any thoughts, comments and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
