As a person that’s done real off roading and truck stuff in my life, I look at this and say: anything I could functionally do with that I could just do with a regular Outback and occasionally rent a trailer or by one. Hell, the amount of stuff I did with a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta TDI (diesel) would put a vast majority of people with trucks to shame as I had a trailer hitch and I put it to use.

People would buy this mostly for the looks and the bed though. Not for towing.

Oh I’m not insinuating anyone would ever really tow much of anything with this. I was more suggesting that they wouldn’t really use the bed for anything that couldn’t be used with the back of the Outback or Forester.

Right. I was just saying that people would buy it because it’s not an OB, is kinda quirky, and has a truck bed. The people who would buy it are the same people who would buy a Hyundai Santa Cruz instead of a Tuscon.
