    I currently have an Outback & Crosstrek. These are the 5th & 6th we've owned. We have had all 3 main models. Our Outback is a 2019 3.6. Great road trip car. The Ctrek is a 2023. Last fall went on a 1100 mile trip with it & it was also great. Favorite thing abt both is Eyesight. Great safety help.

      A friend's Outback locked up the wheels when a black piece of plastic fell out of a pickup in front. It was an AI screwup. He could hear the people in back locking up their brakes too. Subaru said they can't "detune" the Eyesight.

    Nice comparison. The difference between the towing capacities with the smaller models was probably due to the vehicles having the same total cargo capacity but one vehicle weighed more than the other.
    What follows isn't so much about Subaru as about considerations about trailers, that will help you select what model to get. Having a trailer gives you a major boost in cargo capacity, don't skimp but don't over buy. Spend time learning how to back the thing up.
    Towing is a bit complicated and while capacity of "X" pounds is convenient it is misleading since it doesn't deal with enough details. Vehicles, transmissions, tires, hitches and axles are all rated on how much load they can carry. In the case of a tow vehicle that includes the weight of the vehicle, its passengers, cargo and whatever is on the tongue. Some trim levels have a transmission cooler which ups the towing capacity. Having brakes on the trailer can also improve capacity. For instance the Ascent with Touring and above trim has a transmission cooler and is rated at 5,000 lbs. if the trailer has brakes. If it doesn't then the capacity is much less.
    The basic idea is that each thing, tow vehicle, trailer, whatever, has a capacity that shouldn't be exceeded. The tow vehicle has a maximum cargo capacity, the hitch has a maximum load capacity as does the trailer. If everything is balanced out you maximize your capacity with out overloading anything.
    Here's an example, all weights are American.
    Vehicle Calculation
    1. Vehicle cargo capacity is 1000;
    2. It has a class 3 hitch with a 800 max tongue weight;
    3. Driver is 200;
    4. Passenger is 150;
    5. Cargo in the vehicle is 200;
    6 Total is 550, 450 left over
    Tongue Calculation
    1. Maximum load on the tongue is 1,000 - 550 = 450;
    2. The tongue is rated at 800 ( 2 above) so we are good so far.
    Trailer Calculation
    1. Recommended tongue load 10% of trailer weight;
    2. So 450 = 10% of trailer at most;
    3, Trailer max is 10 x 450 = 4500;
    4. A single axle trailer normally has wheels and an axle rated at a maximum of around 3750, it maybe less so check that tag;
    5. Lets assume the trailer weighs 1000;
    6. 3750 - 1000 = 2750 for cargo;
    7. If you want to go higher then you either need need more axles and tires or heavier duty stuff. Whatever you get will weigh more which lowers how much cargo can go in since the tow vehicle has a limit as well. Essentially the emptier the trailer the bigger it can be;
    With a single axle normal trailer and everything balanced nicely you could have about 2750 in the 1000 trailer for about 375 on the tongue. We had a max of 450 so looks good.
    Now lets think about the transmission and brakes. Both are designed to move the vehicle around with a load of 1000 in cargo. We have 550 interior cargo + ( 1000 + 2750 ) trailer cargo = 4300. Yes the trailer wheels and axle are carrying much of the weight but the vehicle is towing and stopping the whole shebang. That's why in this setup you need a transmission cooler and brakes on the trailer.
    Something to consider. Any cargo in the vehicle is calculated 1 for 1. So for a 1000 total and 550 in the vehicle you have 450 left. If some of that is moved to the trailer then if properly balanced its 10 to 1. In the above example if we move the 200 in vehicle cargo to the trailer then vehicle load is 350 and So the tongue can carry an extra 200. Using the 10% rule the maximum trailer weight, including cargo just went up by 2000. We added 200 to the trailer so we have a net gain of 1800. That doesn't mean the trailer capacity went up, it means you could use a trailer with larger capacity. Balancing the trailer load as well as balancing the tow vehicle, trailer combination are both good things to do.

      Subaru has really stepped up their game in recent years. Been looking at the Forester Wilderness to replace my aging 2005 Ford Taurus. Given vehicle prices today, the Subaru Forester Wilderness is at a great price with great features, and ground clearance needed in snow country...although I do just fine with my Taurus and just having front wheel drive, the Subaru AWD system would be an added bonus. Nice that Subaru hasn't gone all turbo charged engines, and hopefully they never do...The "Offroad", or "Adventure" version of the Toyota RAV-4 is over $40k. Subaru's Forester Wilderness is $5k less, and seems like the better AWD system as well.

    Hello Alex, I've been systematically watching your videos as we are purchasing a 2024 Crosstrek Onyx. This will be our 3rd Subaru vehicle since 1999. And while watching this particular video I've got to say that my excitement for our new vehicle has dropped a smidge as we live in Canada and it gets rather cold up here during the winter months and the power lift gate on our 2015 Forester has been a godsend even if it's not cold out. Would it be possible for you to do a quick video on opening the lift gate on a 2024 Crosstrek. I can't seem to find any information on this. Thank you so much for your videos.

    Just got a 23’ Outback Wilderness and love it. Traded in my 20’ forester touring for my outback. I feel snug in the seats of my outback. I feel I sit higher in the my outback wilderness. First time owning a turbo engine. My question is I thought the Subaru Ascent only got a refresh I didn’t know it was a redesign?

    The Crosstrek is too small for me and the Ascent is way more than I need. My wife has an Outback, but I chose the Forester for its shorter length and taller cabin. I'm 6' 2" and the Forester fits me perfectly.

    My wife’s chevy Camaro was totaled three weeks ago so we needed a car quickly. Not much on the used car market but extremely overpriced vehicles. Had been think about getting a outback xt for myself, so I had my wife test drive a crosstrek. She loved it. None available in black on the lot and 2.5 engine was probably three or four months away. They had a black premium on order already. No power or heated seats😪. They said it should be here in early September, we put a deposit down on it. Keeping our fingers crossed that it arrives sooner than later.

    Can we add front camera or 360 view to a forester premium or sport model? I test drove the wilderness model with the front camera feature. I liked this but do not need many of the wilderness features. We also take long highway trips and the wilderness model MPG is a downside.
    Also, can we get a limited or touring version with cloth seats (or vegan "leather"? (if yes, can it also add front or 360 camera) - I do not want leather seats. It is frustrating most/(all?) higher trim level vehicles only offer leather interior.
    Is the interior for any seats - vegan "leather"? I was told they "are pretty sure" it is for the wilderness.

  • @marktully391

    Reason why the wilderness Crosstrek has 3500 lbs over the forester is they put a 2.5L engine in the Crosstrek vs the standard 2.0L.

    What is the reason vehicle trims are different in Canada and the US? Would it not be more cost effective to have them all the same? And they tend to be quite different for example the Premium vs Touring have much different features inside.

    You know it's too bad that sedans are indeed falling out of love. I'm curious how some of the more recent conversations go with sedan customers who are concerned about the "updated" side impact crash test ratings on IIHS. I'll take an Outback XT with the extra tech features in the Ascent, revert to the physical hvac controls and I'm sold. Bonus option is to have the eyesight cams as 24/7 surveillance with recorded footage able to be retrieved locally over usb.

      In the real world data, as in Death Rates in Cars, or the Insurance Claims Data, the Outback is stellar great, and the CrossTrek and Forester did well in their class. In the price and size, I cannot think of a car which is better than the Outback safety wise.

    We have been Toyota car people since 1977, including a Toyota 1/2 ton pickup during that time. We have been Ford picup buyers, with a 1999 F250 Super Duty (bought in August 1998)10 cylinder now with 188,000 trouble-free miles on it , towing our 8500lb travel trailer. We have had a 1977 Corona, Corrollas, 1984 Camry Limited (loved that car, gave it to my daughter who gave it to her dauther with 350,000 miles on it still running like new!) Then we graduated to Avalons, two late 1990 models, then a 2005 Avalon wiht all the bells & whistles that is still my favorite drive. But, in February we moved back to Washington with snow in our area. We ordered and took delivery on our new 2023 Forrester Wilderness. With all the goodies, more than I have figured out just yet, delivered and out of the parking lot for about $42,900. This is a lovely car, fun to drive, but most important, my wife can drive it with configence. At our stage of life it is not likely we will be buying any more cars, but I feel really happy that we have had the affordable and trouble free Toyotas, and now a Subaru.

I know Outback XT is significantly more expensive but worth every penny. I also have an 2017 Impreza, and I love that little car.
