Oh yeah and, get the bigger engine. Nothing more frustrating or disappointing than under powered equipment of any kind.

i've had a outback since 15, it gets 26mpg all around, seats 4 comfortably, can haul at least one deer and a bunch of hunting clothes and 8 foot pieces of lumber. it will go through snow like no other 4x4 that i have owned or driven, including jeeps. no idea on the towing part though. my subie is a great vehicle. 29k OTD.
My diploma is a DD214

Birdie,
I do see lots of Subarus with bicycle racks on them - not so many Tacomas. Maybe there is a hidden message there for you.

The outback is great in the snow, almost unstoppable if not too deep. I also know you can fit a bull elk in the back of one if you leave the hatch up! Not sure if Birdie needs to consider those options though, hot in Texas!

Yep, another one. Haters going to hate. Subaru does have some funny leanings, but they still build a pretty good vehicle. I own an Outback, a '17 with 55K trouble free miles. I have not owned a Tacoma, but have several friends that do. I have ridden in, and drove several. Loud, rough ride, and for myself 6'2" 185# a piss poor seating position. Maybe different for others. If I need to pull the "Man Card" My Truck is a 2500HD 4X4 with the Duramax. It will go and tow anything I have any business trying to do.

Same ground clearance as a stock Jeep Wrangler, and a better 4 wheel drive system. Do a You Tube search on crazy [bleep] done with an Outback.

Toyota vs. Subaru?
Turn in your man card. Banned for life. I like girls, me and the other Subaru drivers will have that in common. LOL! Taco is almost never the wrong answer. That said, Subarus have a good rep also.

17" wheels ????????? Or...... 20's. 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. Kool..........Quick Sand......luv it......... Imgur is easy for me........Same here.

I went through my Subaru phase. Wouldn’t buy another.
Get a tundra and a canopy.

I haven’t ridden in a Tacoma in years, but I like my friends’ Tundras. With the exception of two folks we know, most of the Subie drivers I see have Bern, Warren, or faded out Hillary bumper stickers or some such lib garbage on them. I’d say turn in your Man Card for the Outback. They sit too low to the ground for me. Hard to get in and out of too. Happy Trails

Tacoma’s are certainly reliable vehicles, but they are terribly uncomfortable on longer trips. That said, I would never find myself driving an Outback. Hard to beat a good ol F-150.

Decisions, decisions, won’t happen till at least next summer anyhow.
The appeal of the four-banger in the Tacoma is That appears to be the lineal descendent of the legendary R22 motor that built the reputation of Toyota trucks in the first place. Also I don’t need a truck with alla the gee-whiz I’m a bad ass factory decals that come with the bigger motor, especially in 4x4. Far more likely to get f cked with when left in the driveway where I live.
As far as hard ride and discomfort go, I’m sorta oblivious to all of that, never have test-drove a vehicle before I bought it. Doesn’t matter.

Really appreciate all the input here

A good friend of mine went in to buy a Tacoma, but it didn't happen. He's 6'4" and said there was no way for him to fit inside. Too tall.
