Thank you for all of your videos! I got the '22 Touring a couple of months ago and love it. Just wondering...does the Touring trim have a full sized spare with matching rim on it like the Onyx and Wilderness? I guess I could just go and look😉lol.

[@alexpmo]

Hey Carol! So the Onyx and the Wilderness are the only trim levels currently that have the full size spare. I think it's because these are the two more off-road style Outbacks and Subaru probably expects you'll have a greater chance of needing a full size spare.

[@michaelfoy5461]

Had no idea a Subaru outback was so cool. We just bought a limited. Kinda wish i went xt i like the snow the extra power would been good. Still a awesome car. I want my own but wife says i have to get a another truck. Not goimg to argue there lol. Best trim video ive seen yet!

[@mervstone17]

I purchased the 2021 Touring XT in March as one of my must haves was Ventilated seats living in a desert Climate and this was the only trim with that option. 8,000 miles so far and I couldn’t be happier with the car .. I have even learnt to cope with the CVT fake shifts when making progress by switching to Manual mode. The infotainment system can sometimes be a bit laggy. I use voice controls to adjust the HVAC settings and love the STARLINK remote start with aircon controls to cool / heat the vehicle . The 2.4 L turbo engine is a must for driving pleasure IMHO..

[@alexpmo]

I agree, with you on a lot of those points. The turbo is a must have once you've experienced it 😃

[@SuburbanBBQ]

Thanks for the feedback on the ventilated seats. I live in Houston and they would be put to use daily.

[@seandalt]

What’s so great about the turbo? Is it only really beneficial for off roading?

@@seandalt well using the paddle shifters and manual mode I’ve timed a 0-60 at 5.7 seconds .. it’s fun to have that level of performance from a car that’s not expected to do that ! Overtaking too is a breeze even on inclines .. so both a practical car and sporty drive too if you want . Something for everyone ! I hardly go off road but when I do it’s great to have the capability

[@Gadsdan]

As someone who will likely be purchasing a Subaru in the next 12 months, I would be very interested in a video that talks about specifics of the extended warranty plans and the service plans. Specifically talking about what each one covers and a price (I know prices may vary). And even touching on what parts (if any) the extended warranty overlaps, or adds to the factory warranty. Love your videos, wish I could buy one from you!

[@alexpmo]

That's a great video idea! I'll see what I can put together

[@sheynaimm2259]

Great video--so thorough! Only thing I could use more explanation on is the difference in the body styles of the 2 that you showed in the beginning of your video. One looked so much smaller than the other that I was sure it was an older model. Could you elaborate on why it is smaller and what trim level hosts the smaller body size?

[@TheArbiterSux]

They're the same size, one is just parked further towards the back of the parking space.

[@james-p]

Nice vid, thanks! I love love loooove my '22 Outback Limited X/T! My advice to prospective purchasers is, check your finances before you test drive the turbo lol - you WILL want it! Not that the regular engine is bad by any means (my '13 Premium with the 2.5L was just fine), but the 2.4L turbo is just too much fun. This thing gets up and goes way faster than any station wagon has a right to lol. And the '22 is quieter, and the headlights that turn with the steering wheel are just awesome.

[@alexpmo]

I love the XT also. It's hard to go back to the 2.5 once you've experienced the 2.4T 😀

[@rfclarkie]

Thanks Alex for your quick response. I really appreciate your videos. My question about milage was in error, what I wanted to know was if the Onynx had tire pressure monitoring system. Mine does not. I thought all vehicles made in the USA had it. Should I have it as well?

My 2022 Onyx arrived just before Christmas (Merry Christmas to me) and going in today to the dealer to get questions answered on stuff either I can't figure out or am too lazy to look up in the NYC phone book that comes with the car. It is something my dealership offers a couple weeks into ownership. Miss my old Chrysler 300M I drove everyday for 22.5 years, but very happy so far with my Outback. Really nice job on your videos.

[@steveangley9796]

Thank you for the exceptional, informative videos. I have a 2021 Outback that I just love. Question, behind my self dimming, w/compass rear view mirror there is what appears to be an empty socket hanging down available next to the glass. It’s hard to see into but I think I see maybe 5 pins. What is this for? Any chance it could be used to power a dash cam? If Subaru sold one, I’d buy it. Or better yet, add that functionality to Eyesight and let me add an SD card for storage. Any thought you might have about this appreciated. Thanks Steve

[@alexpmo]

I'm actually not sure what that is. As far as I know, there isn't a way to power anything from it. It would be cool to incorporate some sort of dash cam into this in the future though where you could easily recover video from a wreck.

Would you be able to do a video on the front seat comfort between the older models? We looked at a 2019 and the passenger seat was so uncomfortable it caused us to pass on the car. We are hoping the 2020-2022 has better front seats and the passenger floor board is lower than the previous models

[@brewatch]

Will the front view camera be available on upcoming foresters? If so, what trim levels will include it?

[@alexpmo]

For the Forester, the front view camera is only on the new 2022 Wilderness edition.

[@janicehubbell7666]

I have a 2018 Outback Touring trim that I absolutely love. Last year, I drove 8800 miles from California to Maine and back and my Outback behaved beautifully. I also take my Outback camping every year. I camp where there are bear issues, so my coolers stay in the back of the car. When I’m in my campsite,, I like to leave the tailgate open for easy access. However, I really can’t because the when the tailgate is open, the car draws power for the power lift gate and other features. It would be really great if I could turn that off so I don’t draw down the battery. I had to have my Outback jump-started the first year I had it.

[@db8556]

Hey there Janice, I have a 2016 Premium, which has required a handful of jumps from dead. The two things I've done are: 1. change all the interior light bulbs to LEDs, which use a tiny fraction of power compared to the regular bulbs, plus are MUCH brighter/whiter. win/win 2. change the factory battery to a higher capacity battery. Do a search. As for me, I installed a Costco/Interstate 24-700 (Group size 24, 700 amps). I was told a Group Size 24 wouldn't fit but it fits just fine in the factory battery tray since the tray is larger than the factory battery. It doubled the amps of the puny factory battery (~356 amps). My Outback starts with more authority, especially at the ski resort. There are probably other choices. win/win 3. I've read you can insert a carabiner into the tailgate latch mechanism when it's open, fooling it into thinking it's shut. I haven't tried this, but plenty of owners say it works great. Just remember to remove it before closing the gate! 4. Always carry cables! 🙂

[@TheTallenh]

The electronic parking brake will also release if you’re in gear and press the gas pedal. I have a base 2021 Legacy and prefer the dual screens. It’s less distracting and seems more reliable. Can you do a video on the Legacy’s?

[@alexpmo]

Yes, waiting to get another one on the lot!

[@corndawgqt]

Does the onyx have anything other than the 2.5 turbo engine that justifies the additional towing capacity? I'm asking because I'd like to use a motorcycle hitch carrier to tow my 259 lb dirt bike on a 2022 outback premium. That's well within the premium's 2700 lb towing capacity, but would be slightly above the 270lb tongue weight rating when combined with the 40 lb weight of the hitch carrier itself. Thanks for any additional info

I am a little confused on this vid.. i just purchased an Outback Premier (Canada, getting this week), and it has almost every feature (Napa leather, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, upgraded speakers, etc.).

Can you go over the 2019 Outback. Our 2018 was totaled in a broadside accident and we were able to find a 2019 Limited to replace it.

[@alexpmo]

Yes, once I get another one in. At the moment we don't have any 2019 Outbacks. It's fairly similar to the 2020 and newer models. One of the biggest differences is that the 2020 and new Outbacks have the 11.6" touch screen display, while anything before this has the smaller touch screen display.

Hello Alex--Purchased a 2024 Onyx Outback which was built in Japan. Because of where it was built I don't have a couple of things you mention in this video. No navigation app, no milage monitoring, no extended drivers seat. Just wondering if I should have some of these anyway? Can you give me your opinion. Thanks -----------------Ron

[@alexpmo]

Hi Ron, as far as I know, the Outback is only produced at the North American plant. If you're curious, you can check the inside of the door jam and it will show you where it was produced. Should say SIA which is in Lafayette, IN. The Onyx doesn't come with nav or the extended driver's seat. mileage monitor will be located in the center between the speedometer and tachometer. It does however have nav capabilities through Apple CarPlay/Android auto. Here's a video I made recently on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqWsanqMnZqapdk

[@elmobandit981]

does the bose sound system come with the outback limited without adding the 11.6 inch multimedia package ?

[@alexpmo]

Yes, all new outbacks in the limited trim come standard with the upgraded Harmon kardon speakers. So you have it with or without the optional package

[@ginogina4589]

Alex, has Subaru started rationing chips and reducing functions in vehicles as a result of the shortage?

[@alexpmo]

Nope, they still have all of the same functions as before. We’re actually expecting production levels to be normal in the spring. Hopefully normal inventory levels will follow a few months after that.

[@everyredranger8146]

Absolutely in love with the wilderness edition I got a few weeks ago. I was worried when I was buying it that it would come with the distraction mitigation package. My friends '21 outback has it and I just thought it was annoying most of the time.

[@alexpmo]

Glad you're enjoying your wilderness! I'm not a fan of the distraction mitigation either. I do however like the facial recognition for saving memory seats though (this is part of the same distraction mitigation feature)

[@mrjjthor]

Do all 2022 outback come standard with rear passenger air vents? Heard it was optional on certain premium trims and above.

[@alexpmo]

All but the base model will have the rear air vents.

[@SpexSpexington]

Hey, Alex (and other Onyx owners). Do you know anything about this? I have a '21 Onyx Edition and the owner's manual says that if you have a full sized spare (which the Onyx does), then you should incorporate it into a tire rotation (5-tire rotation). My dealership refused to do this on my first free oil change. They tried charging me $100 to do it. They said that to do this, you have to reprogram the BCU each time, which costs them $ to do since they need to hook up a laptop, upload the BCU's data, and reprogram the tire sensors. Not reprogramming the BCU will cause the TPMS light to stay on at all times (or keep coming on if cleared) and the reprogramming is due to the spare tire having a "temporary" TPMS sensor in it (which I've never heard of). Before the Texas winter storms hit last winter, I got a nail in one of my tires and had to swap to the spare because (it turned out) the dealership couldn't get me a new tire until the storm passed. (They kept closing early and then shut down completely during the storm, which is somehow ironic to me for a Subaru dealership... this was even before the power grid issues). Yes, I had the TPMS light come on after the swap, but I was able to use a $99 OBD scanner (Bluedriver) tool to reset the TPMS system and it then worked fine for an entire week and a half until I got the tire replaced. So, any idea if my dealership is full of BS? The car manual says to do a 5 tire rotation and I seem to easily be able to reset the TPMS system in about 10 minutes max. Why are they trying to charge me $100? (I argued with them about it and they eventually did it for free alongside my free maintenance, but it was "[that] time only.") I'm planning to just rotate my own tires now and have them do the free maintenance, but specifically tell them not to touch the tires. I just feel like $100 just to pull a tire out of the trunk is ridiculous because I don't believe the whole reprogramming claim or the "temporary" sensor claim.

I’ve read several owners mention the leather is ‘hard’. I’m happy with my 21’ Forester premium cloth, but have considered buying an outback with leather. Haven’t sat in one though. Any thoughts?

The Touring trim has a softer leather than the Limited. You can also opt for the Onyx or Wilderness trim on the Outback that has a soft material called startex (looks and feels like leather) but it’s a water repellent material made out of recycled materials.

There used to be a rockford fosgate upgrade but Subaru did away with it for the 2022 model. The sound quality is very good in the regular sound system they have now so I think that's why they did away with the upgrade.

I have an 18 Crosstrek limited. I’m eyeing the OBW but what annoys me is you can’t get the HK sound system in it like I have in my Crosstrek. I guess they think if your out in the wilderness you should be enjoying nature and not your playlist. The HK system is decent but not great however it far better than Subarus base stereo the OBW comes with. Nothing like dropping another grand or two on a brand new car to upgrade the stereo to what it should be

That's a common complaint for most people who want the Wilderness. I'm really not sure why Subaru dropped the HK system for the Wilderness.

Now prices just need to drop below those with small house and I might actually be able to replace my old one.

Is there a way to order a wilderness with upgraded touring features? (Paying extra, of course). In a perfect world, the touring would have the higher height, dual cams, hex patterns, etc as well, but maybe next generation?

[@alexpmo]

Which features are you asking about specifically?

[@NeeNee_B.]

@@alexpmo interior color preferences aside, I would love if the Wilderness came with the distraction mitigation system, as well as the high beam assist and 18" tires, although the tires are just me nitpicking lol. As someone with sleep apnea, that driver focus alert is worth the extra $. Stack those on the Wilderness' front cam & ground clearance, and by George, we've got a winner! 😂 I can live without the ventilated seats in NYC, so the Forester is definitely the one for me over the Outback 👍🏿

[@alexpmo]

@@NeeNee_B. yes, unfortunately you can only get the driver mitigation and Napa brown leather interior on the touring trim 🙁 I’m sure you could upgrade to the 18” wheels on the wilderness but the eyesight might need to be reconfigured. Not 100% though. I’m also a fan of the 18” wheels which is why I prefer the Onyx XT over the Wilderness. I think they look so much better

[@NeeNee_B.]

@@alexpmo Do you think the next generation will include the driver focus on all trims, or in your experience, will that will probably remain a higher trim offering? I'd be willing to wait another year for it on a Wilderness.

[@alexpmo]

@@NeeNee_B. I’m not sure but I’d expect Subaru to keep it an exclusive on the higher trim levels only. I could be wrong though!

Let’s go Alex!

Thanks Wesley, I appreciate your support! 😃

What about spare tires on trims other than Onyx?

[@alexpmo]

Hey Ellen, Subarus come with a spare tire that is good for temporary use when you get a flat. The Onyx and Wilderness trims are the only ones with the full size matching spare.

I bought a used outback 2018 how can I tell what trimester mine is.

[@alexpmo]

First I'd start by looking at your interior. Do you have leather or cloth? Cloth with heated seats = Premium trim. Cloth without heated seats = base trim. Leather interior could be the Limited or Touring. If you have ventilated a/c seats, it's a Touring. If not, it's a Limited. Hope this helps!

[@MrsTracyGuichard]

Can I get the Touring XT trim with black rims?

[@alexpmo]

Not from the factory, but you can either purchase the OEM Onyx wheels to have those installed or have your Touring wheels powder coated. I had a customer do this on a Limited XT. We had a local shop do it for her and it cost around $1200 for all four wheels.
