Is Subaru releasing a new BAJA Truck? When can we order the 2025 Forester? All of that and more in today's video! 😃

Ahhhh, Subaru release the truck and "Here, take my money."

[@1solivagus]

Thanks for the click bait. :( Thanks for wasting my time.

[@jimf.625]

I think a Subaru truck in the Wilderness package would absolutely be a huge hit. If they release a truck that looks like the renderings in this video it will take the number one spot in this class.

[@frankofva8803]

As a multi-Subaru owner I am very disappointed that a pickup truck is not in the future plans of the company. Comparing Baja statistics is, respectfully, misleading. The Baja was never seriously viewed as a pickup truck. If Subaru developed a Maverick or Ranger sized pickup truck I am convinced it would be a big seller.

[@nadaname391]

Me too. The market has changed for small trucks and the Ford Maverick has proven that.

[@jeffrey3498]

Subaru would do quite well with a pickup truck, as long as they don’t name it a Brat. Americans will not buy a pickup truck called a Brat.

[@trollins73]

A friend of mine was interested in a Subaru truck and was wanting to see what it was gonna be brat or Baja size wise he has a small garage and wants something more rugged but doesn't want some big truck that won't fit and costs to much money

My daughter and I are Subaru owners. We (me and everyone I know) do not want controls on the touch screen! They are a pain and a driving distraction. I am more than happy to keep buying older models with the traditional controls. There are plenty to select from. Spending that kind of money, I expect to buy what I like and with the wide selection available out there it will be easy to find them.

[@mjc63]

This is why I grabbed my 2023 Forester Premium! No need for big screen tv in the dash! I’m 60 and I like tactile knobs and buttons I can feel and not have to look away from the road!

[@ChatanikaRoosting]

Agreed. Ihave a 2024 Outback and hate having most climate controls on the touch screen. It is dangerous, and time consuming to navigate menus when driving.

[@Teena6565]

2x Outback owner. Not considering a new Outback due to controls in touchscreen. Moving to either Mazda CX-50 or Honda CRV.

[@Fairly_Reasonable_Investor]

If they are ditching the tactile hvac controls, then I'm ditching the brand. Subaru needs to actually listen to their customers more.

[@SpeedBump7807]

It is the thing I dislike most on my 24 outback.

[@skeptical2649]

I agree. 24 Legacy

[@LongLiveJapan87]

I’m more worried about how Subaru is going to keep their identity and uniqueness moving into electrification. What’s the point of brands if everyone is going to be churning out the same stuff? May as well just drive a Toyota at that point. They’re all probably going to be using their tech anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️.

[@katsm-wo9704]

If they would build an attractive truck, it would sell well. The number one selling vehicle in the country is the F-Series pickup. They could pull from Toyota and base something off the Tacoma.

[@dianebishop4560]

Thanks Alex, as always I enjoy your videos. Love my 2022 Crosstrek.

[@briandenisefarmer333]

Anything coming to the Ascent? Any digital screens for driver display? Any engine or powertrain improvements since many car manufacturers are moving back away from CVT transmissions? I am considering an Ascent but seems like GrandHighlander or Pilot or GMC Acadia (all ‘24 or ‘25 models) are updating their interiors and drivetrains to a much higher state of digital and mechanical refinement than Subaru has done recently. Just curious if Subaru will follow suit.

[@mjc63]

Great job Alex! I was in Subaru in the early 2000’s and Bajas were different but not super practical!as far as electric Subaru’s go, if we don’t have enough capacity in the electrical grid to run a/c in the summer, how will millions of cars get plugged in and charged up? Hybrid makes much more sense and relieves the issue of range anxiety! In the mean time how about some road repairs so what we are driving doesn’t get the $hit knocked out of it going to the grocery store???!!!

[@richroggio]

another great video Alex, thank you again 👍

[@seanlong9049]

Will the outback be equipped with a 110v power outlet? My wife's minivan has one and we use it a lot. I thought my 2022 would come with one but it didn't so I have a bulky inverter plugged into the back 12v outlet, which both takes up the 12v outlet and gets in the way. Seems like it wouldn't be a terribly difficult option to add a "good" inverter with 110v outlet in the back of all subaru vehicles but for now we're stuck finding an aftermarket shop or RV customizer to put one in if we don't know how to do the electrical work correctly ourselves.

When do you think the 2025 Outback wilderness be available? Also how are the cvt on the Outback are there any issues with them and is it more reliable then previous years?

[@tonycincera3353]

Problem with being a corporate fan is that you lose all objectivity. Trucks are not a niche! It’s the number one model for units by Ford Chevrolet Dodge …etc If Subaru doesn’t want to build a truck again, fine. But it isn’t because of a lack of demand.

[@davidkent5626]

Being the 25 Outback is similar design do you know if that will support the center console CD player? Not too sure if I should wait for the new model. Also how would I ask the sales person about the CD player as the one I asked recently looked at me like I'm crazy.

[@alexpmo]

Yes, the 25 is expected to have the same optional CD player accessory in the center console

[@pidjones]

I had a Brat bought new in '78. Was great until caught in a flood in '82. Then a used wagon that wore out at ~112k miles, but served well until then. Also a short-lived hatchback for the wife. I got so good at changing DOJ and CV boots that I could have it in and out of the garage in 30 minutes. All-told, a dozen boots between the three vehicles. Hope this is no longer an issue as the daughter has a Crosstrek on order.

Hi. We have a 2016 XT Forester with 131,00+ miles on it and we are thinking or wanting to trade it in for a newer Forester, we were hoping another XT Forester, but seems like Subaru doesn't like the idea of a turbo Forester (don't know why) but can you tell us why? What's the deal? I mean a big ol' van (the Ascent) has a turbo lol. Enoy your videos. Oh, we used to have a 2006 XT Baja fully loaded and just sold it, it only had 92k miles on it.

I test drove the Subaru last year and was very impressed and now I’m hooked and will await what Subaru comes out with. For now I am enjoying my ‘21 Subaru outback. ❤️ Its also running off in the family too as my daughter is looking at a Crosstrek as for her next vehicle.

Loved hearing about the Baja sales stats! A fun idea, but maybe it was just ahead of its time. Not that I'm a forecasting specialist about small-mid size trucks, but I agree about not pursuing a Subaru truck. They'd probably be coming in a little late on that trend if they did, so it wouldn't be worth the effort. And honestly? I just keep the rear seats in my Outback down 80% of the time and it's sufficiently hauled everything I've needed it to so far. That option for versatility can't be beat (in my opinion, anyway).

Alex, I like your videos. I wish you could forward this up the ladder. Subaru insists on CVTs. Many people don't like CVTs (ME! ME! ME!) Subaru already HAS a manual transmission, why not offer it as an option for those who prefer it. No engineering. No mods. Drop in a manual instead of an auto and voila! I'd love a Crosstrek with the 182hp engine with a manual. Yes there is the WRX and the BRZ, but those are not what I am looking for. So, I won't be looking a Subaru for the next car. I will accept a real auto, or a manual. NO CVTs!! It really sucks. Their cars are sweet! Cheers and keep the videos coming.

The previous Baja was a flop because it was bulky and ungainly looking as it was an Outback that had been modded. The heavy looking lower cladding did nothing to help the appearance. That said the world has changed and a truck-let version of the Forester would be interesting competition for the Maverick and Santa Cruz.

I love manuals, tactile buttons, and/or switches, and the only driver's aid I want is a backup cam; I like horsepower and torque. The new WRX only has 276 hp down from 310hp; what (SMH)?! If I decide not to stay with Subaru, I'll go to Ford and the new Ranger. So I wish Subaru would release a pickup. I also wish Subaru actually cared about their customer base, but they don't, clearly.

My guess is that SOA will announce it at the Las Vegas NBC in July, along with a more definitive time frame for the next generation Outback…as well as a live prototype model…though pics won’t be released to the public. My guess on that is one of the November auto shows for a 2025 release as a 2026 model. I work for a Subaru retailer too, btw.
