New Subaru Truck Coming

Post by Caaron »

I've recently read rumors of a new Subaru Truck to be announced this year. Apparently it is to be built on the same frame as the Ascent, which may not be a good thing since the Ascent has not been as reliable as other Subaru models... https://2021truck.com/2021-subaru-pickup-truck/

Wow; the new "battery bellow" concept! Can't wait to hear what the battery says out loud. I love my current ('05) Baja; the new concept is too "trucky" for me. Too tall, too much Honda Ridgeline-like. If this is what Subaru really has in mind, I may change to the Hyundai Santa Cruz when it's available.

Check the dates, it's a 2020 article talking about a 2021 model year truck. I want to believe! :(

What is battery bellow? Not interested in a hybrid or EV so I'm curious.

Me too. I would like them to get released so I can buy one in about five years. LOL

At the bottom of the article that claims it was coming out last year. IIRC, this fan fiction is based on the release dates of the Brat and the Baja - so we must be due for another.

Don't hold your breath. Sales were low on the brat and the Baja. That's what business decisions are made from.

If they make a truck like everyone else, why buy the untested one? They should make another unique one - I'd prefer a Forester based one with options for 2 and 4 door. Bring them both back!

When I saw the subi truck concept, my first thought was "it is as big as and F150". What I appreciate abt the Baja -among many, many other things- that it is on a chassies of a car. It drives like a car. And can handle light duty truck work.
So, that concept truck, as far as I'm concerned, is jumping on the bandwagon. It will be just an other pick up truck. Nothing like the Brat or the Baja was. 😔

I feel a bit like Mulder, I want to believe. With everything that has happened in the last two years, I figure the earliest we might see it is 2023 model year. I hope it comes to pass.
