I just went through the 4Runner vs Subaru question a few months back. Many variables about keeping my current truck, buying a new one, getting a 4Runner, or an Outback.
The new vehicle would be going to my oldest boy when he goes off to Flag or Reno in a handful of years, and I was more concerned about snow than off-roading for this particular vehicle. Finally, I was able to get a much better discount through a national broker on the Outback than the 4Runner. When the boy goes off to school, I'll be picking up a new Tundra for myself.
So far the Outback is peachy. Forgot what having a hatch was like. Use it for commuting and random things and my old truck for 'truck' things
