I hate to admit it, but I agree. BIGGLY!

Taco’s ride and drive like schitt! Drove a girlfriends outback a couple of times and I was pretty damn impressed.
And I’m not easily impressed. 🤠

But like I mentioned in my previous post, I’d buy a F-150 over both of those two any old day of the week and twice on Sunday. Buy the big EcoBoost V-6. It’ll get better gas mileage than the damn Taco and probably just about as good as the Outback. And out-pull the schitt outta both of them!!!

I have never regretted having extra power but I sure as Hell have regretted not having enough!

Sort of an apples to oranges comparison, the Tacoma is getting beat up some due to the old design, not up to the new Colorado and Ranger. Most folks who knock an Outback have never driven one. They will do a lot more than folks think they will. They are not however a pickup Truck. Looking at reliability, the Outback and Forester are rated 250K+, so are most of the Toyotas.

Not to hijack the thread, but what are you guys using for a photo hosting site? Can a computer illiterate use it? By the way, I'm on my second Tacoma - a '17 Club cab cause I needed a 6' box. I like the Quick Sand color too.

That 4 cylinder doesn't return very good fuel economy. I went from a Tacoma 4 to a Frontier 6 to a Ram 6. The Ram is superior to others in every regard. The Frontier was superior to the Tacoma in almost all regards. I have gotten as high as 29 MPG with my Ram on the highways of the mountain west. The Frontier did slightly better than the Tacoma, but they both struggled to give me 23 on the same routes. Get the 6 in the Tacoma if you insist on a crude, noisy, rough riding truck with an awkward seating position.

Wife has had Subarus, as well as a co-worker had a few and some friends also had several. I have a Tacoma. A few of the outbacks had some significant issues like unknown causes of using oil, head gasket problems, tire wear problems, and poor dealer resolution of those problems but were still good in bad weather and ran good otherwise. They are nice vehicles and I wanted to like them ,but we won't be getting another. The Honda we had was better.
So I would vote Tacoma which is the one I've kept the longest and for the most miles without any signs of stopping.

You can read anecdotal reviews all day. The OP has to go and drive each one at least once to form an opinion. Good luck.
