In the Pacific Northwest, Subarus are very common. I use it to also pull a 5x8 utility trailer regularly for yard work, camp out, and other projects. I’ve used it to pull tent and pop up trailers. The only part replaced thus far is the windshield due to a rock from a gravel truck. No need to because mine is still going strong.
After 8.5 years of ownership, i would buy another one new. The Subaru fit all the criteria at the time.
#HIGHLANDER VS OUTBANK FULL#
My criteria when buying it was:ĪWD, towing capacity over 2,000 lbs (ours is 2,600), 30 mpg on the highway minimum, ample leg room in the back seat for full sized adults, roof rack, fog lamps, known reputation for reliability, good on and off road manners, excellent safety features. I use it similar to what you plan to do: camping and exploring. Specific to the Outback, I have been quite happy with it. Patriot Subaru in Saco, and use the Digital Showroom kiosk to makeĬomparisons on all makes and models, down to the smallest detail.We own a Gen 2 Prius an a 2011 Outback. Outback also provides smart device integration, an optional navigation system, heated front seats, dual zone AC, fog lamps, none of which Highlander provides. Standard - Both match up on a list of about 31 standard features.The Outback has muscle, rated towing capacity of 2700 lbs, almost double Highlander which is rated at 1500 lbs.The Highlander is a 2.7 liter in-line 4 cylinder engine with 6-Speed Electronically Controlled Manually Interactive Automatic Transmission With Overdrive, delivering 185 hp. The Outback has a 2.5 liter boxer 4 cylinder engine with Lineartronic 6-Speed Continuously Variable Electronically Controlled Manually Interactive Automatic Transmission With Overdrive, delivering 175hp.If you're ok with the two rows, the Outback gives you more base cargo space, 35.1 square feet to 13.8 sf.But remember, there is a cost to everything… If you have a large family, well the 8 passenger Highlander would have been more comfortable for the Griswalds driving to Wallyworld. The Highlander does provide 3rd row seating.In the second row, Highlander has a quarter inch more leg, and just over 2 in the shoulder. In front, both vehicles have the same headroom, with the Highlander 1.5 more inches shoulder room.The Highlander is a larger vehicle: 1.5 inches longer, 2 inches taller, 4 inches wider.The Highlander earned the Top Safety Pick rating.
