The New Subaru Wilderness Truck You Want In Your Garage Next Year

Definitely like this, it would be a good mid-sized truck and a V6 would be a great option to choose from, with a manual transmission. Automatic for the 4 cylinder. Options for everyone.

It better have a manual transmission, or it will loose big.
WE WANT MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS!

I am loving my 2021 Ascent. I would love a truck from Subaru but if it's going to compete you need to have more towing capacity. My Ascent can pull a boat or a very light camper, but not ready to challenge this vehicle yet on how well it goes.

I would love Subaru to do this. I need a replacement for my Forester, but also need a work vehicle that can tow and haul wood. If Subaru put their full thought into it, they could make it very cleverly engineered, like how the Honda Ridgeline, the Rivian with the unmemorable name, and Tesla Cybertruck have unique features designed for the "wilderness" lifestyle owners of Subaru like me.

- Pull out ramp, fold out table, tent integration, can actually tow something (boat, rv, toys)

The biggest reason I haven't bought a replacement yet is tow capacity. I'd rather hitch up a trailer when needed then a bed I rarely use.... unless it's hard covered maybe.

Nope. While I believe there is a market for this. The fact it isn't at least a hybrid is going to hinder it long term. Utilizing the big battery pack for camping, etc. Will be the big pull towards the EV trucks. If you don't need 4wd, the Ford Maverick is standard as a hybrid in the $20ks. The 4x4 model doesn't have a hybrid power train. I think Ford missed that overlanding advantage with that decision. But, hey they may change that in a couple years.

Great Idea, Always thought we needed one that size. CVT would be OK "BUT" it needs a low range transfer case. I had auto in my Jeep Cherokee Rock crawler and that was much better than my 4 or 5 speed Jeeps before. The Brat was OK but too cramped for us. I have bought 3 Subaru's in the last 20 years. 2 Foresters and now the Outback. Hope Subaru pays attention to what we say. OL Bill

I agree, this is what the family needs. I feel they should lean into the Fuji Heavy Industry and build the best off road, farm, work and play truck available.

Yes please bring the Baja back

In this family, we are all Subaru enthusiasts. One of 5 being a 2010 Outback with 303,000. It’s proof that Subaru is a long lasting brand. Also, keeping in our line up is the 2003 Baja which my husband absolutely loves. Subaru, MAKE THE TRUCK!

How about somebody making a truck that those of us that don't make 200 grand a year can afford? Is this too much to ask?

Great! The truck needs an easy access to the bed by the back with a slide down window that extends side to side. Or have whole back lay down flat to access the bed. Either will increase the living space for this vehicle.

I would love to have one!! I love subaru!

The last thing we need is another stupid sedan with a tray on the back, pretending to be a p/u truck!

I would buy it IF-NO CVT transmission, preferably a MANUAL trans for a truck. Between my wife and myself our 2022 Outback we purchased was Subaru number 9.
I would definitely sell my F150 and buy a Subie truck if one came along making it number 10.

My wife and I have a cross trek and love it, but I would not by a truck with a CVT transmission. Ever. Period.

Denis said: "It would be manufactured alongside the 2022 Ascent 3-Row family hauler in Lafayette, Indiana."

Folks, as any of my friends here who work at Subaru of Indiana Automotive can confirm, the line already barely fits the Ascent (heck, it can't even fit two back to back, and an Outback MUST go between them). It would take a bunch of retooling at least one of the lines to fit something bigger.

C'mon, Denis, why make things up again?

Without a doubt I would buy 1. Could take on Tacoma which I really like but they are everywhere. Let's get on it Subaru.

3.6 with a manual transmission would be perfect.

Put my new at the top of the will by list!!!

Awesome! Keep it around 30K, NO CVT with a 6MT option and I'm there! I love my '15' Crosstrek but with 1.2 million miles on it already, I might go for a truck in the next few years. Love my Subi!

Whoa! Sign me up.

I recognize the exact same, optional, aftermarket, "sport" grill on the truck first pictured at the top, that I purchased and installed to our brand new 2013 Crosstrek XV eight and a half years ago. Some things, Subaru, never change. The designers stuck that black bar across the bottom of an older Crosstrek sport grill and called it done. This truck would look good in the original Khaki tan and it would match our 2013 Crosstrek, still going strong. I still like this grill, by the way, having never seen another one installed on the now ubiquitous Crosstrek seen everywhere. The grill makes our Crosstrek a bit unique. If anyone out there cares, I prefer truck tire and wheel assemblies that I can lift by myself and also tires that I don't need take out a second mortgage for, in order to replace. No one is listening.

Subaru lost me as a long-time customer when I had to trade my Forester in on a Tacoma. Been searching for years for a Baja which still command high prices. DO IT, SUBARU!!!!!

3 words why Subaru wouldn't build it: continuously variable transmission.

The Ascent already started showing issues with its CVT in 2019. As of yet, they've not fixed them completely, which tells me they'd rather try to software fix them until they're out of warranty than admit the CVT is trash and throw it in the bin. Subaru doesn't have a regular automatic in its portfolio anymore. You can't have a mid-size truck like the Ranger or Tacoma without towing. Both those can You'll be shying away its target market if you tell them it can only tow 3,000 lbs.

As a loyal Subaru customer and truck lover I need this truck Now!!! Please build it!!!

People are wasting money on off road mid-sized trucks, especially powered by any 4 cyl powetrain. If Subaru is smart they will develop a good supercharged V-6 for their market. It will payoff quickly. Off-roaders tend to stay away from the mid-size truck market but might chew on a V-6 Subaru.

Remove the Subaru off the tailgate and put the emblem, make it manual, give us some aggressive rims and you got a deal.
