Subaru Will Hit It Out Of The Park If It Brings A New Truck With No CVT

It would also need to be offered with either a single cab or "king" cab, with a "real" bed, in addition to the crew cab, shown.

Subaru wilderness truck I would buy only if it offers a 2 door model. Otherwise all it is a car with a pen trunk. It you are going to make a truck then make a truck. 2 doors, manual transmission, long bed, good towing capacity and able to carry at least 1200 lbs. and if they can get 25 mpg out of it that would be great. Sounds like a lot but the new Nissan Frontier fits the bill minus the manual trans.

Know what else is good if you don't want a manual? 8/10 speed autos. Also fuel efficient.

Would love to own a Subaru truck with everything you listed and would even if over $40,000.00 would be awesome!

IF, a big IF, this vehicle was ever going to see the light of day, it would not feature a 3.6, since the flat 6 does not fit in the global platform frame, it would definitely be a cvt, not just because of the reasons listed above but also because it’s packaging is excellent for Subarus symmetrical awd.
Towing capacity is going to be limited to 5000 lbs just like a Honda Ridgeline, matching the highest of the unibody trucks.
If based off the Ascent size, price would if we are lucky, follow that pretty closely. Which is considerably higher than 29k-40k.
If based off the Outback, it would probably fall somewhere in between outback and ascent pricing, 30k to 42k.
None of this matters because Subaru is focusing on electric vehicles and really doesnt have any production capacity to build another vehicle. Especially right now.
Fun to imagine though. Still think it would sell great even if all those real world limitations were in place

Subaru's pick-up truck should be built to compete in the Baja 500.

I like all of the above suggestion for a possible Subaru truck. In addition, I absolutely need abed that goes way beyond what was available in the now "late" Baja. A truck needs utility and the bed is key. No, it doesn't have to accomodate a 10 foot longboard (altho that would be nice,) but accommodating skis are a must.

I would buy this truck in a minute. Absolutely love the idea. I have infact bought a 1991 Isuzu xs 4x4. With the intent to install the drive train from an Impreza RS 2.5 manual.

I would be interested in a new Subaru Baja Pickup. I'd want an automatic transmission however.

Replaced my Chevy Z71 with an Outback. I would love to have a Subaru truck. I understand everyone wanting a standard tranny but, as an above the knee left leg amputee, I could stick with the CVT or a regular auto tranny with a great gear range. I hope this truly is in the works.

The problem with off road performance and towing capacity is the two suspension setups are on opposite sides of the spectrum. Off road capability and performance demands a much softer suspension setup versus a suspension in a smaller truck looking to tow 5000-6500 lbs. Not saying it isn't possible, but some compromises would need to be made.

Those specs are right on the money. I'll be waiting Subaru.

I’m interested in a Subaru truck.
Packaged with a fuel efficient turbocharged engine.
Technology along with safety is a must.
Size like the Ascent along with a functional bed.
Priced 29k - 40k.

This isn't news. Is this someone's job now? Just writing bs about other people's Facebook and reddit post comments?

The photoshop rendering is even trash. They forgot to remove the front aftermarket lip from the side. The front is too short, with the bottom of the bumper a foot higher than the rockers. If anything it would probably look like a late model Ascent at the front.

Try writing articles about actual news man. This is just regurgitating social media shit posts.

Please don't send me emails or give away my email address.

I enjoy reading your site. I’m a senior and I love my 2014 Forrester XT. I was intent on buying a new one for 2021 or even 2020 but they drop the XT. Turbo charged engine is such a great performer and I don’t want anything less. why does Subaru, turn away what I think is a big segment of possible customers? I really enjoyed eyesight and don’t really want to look elsewhere, but Subaru has shut the door on the XT.

Yes bring out a 6 cyl. w/auto transmission,6 speed. Towing of 5000lbs. And above all the ride must be comfortable w/ seats adjustable and lumbar support. All in a awd truck. It is doable if Honda can market one (Ridgeline).

I would seriously consider a Subaru truck built like a wrx. Low, good suspension, nice wide tires. Like the Ford lightening or Tacoma x-runner but with a Subaru turbo AWD and 6-speed. Wow

I would want a automatic transmission and we own a 2006 Subaru Forester.

I think Subaru's "truck" should be offered with a conventional modern auto trans as well as a manual and a low range of at least a 3:1 ratio with lockable center and rear differentials (rear live axle?) for true off road capability.
Make it a real truck not like that Honda Ridgeline faux truck.

Would be nice if a longer bed is an option.

Their cars aren't worth having, I can't imagine why someone would look for a reason to buy one of their trucks.

I love the rendering in grey. Very Tacomaish. Why not go after the Tacoma. They need some REAL competition. Meet their specs or beat them, and you'll have a great vehicle with great sales.
