weights by c_hunter

Anybody know the max cargo weights for the Outback and Legacy GT wagons? Or gross weights? Can't seem to find this info anywhere. I'm curious if there is a difference betweenthe two. Interesting that Subaru gives the towing loads and tongue weight, but not the cargo loads.
 
thanks,
Craig

The sticker in the Outback says that the combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 900 pounds.

alpha: I'll take leather, I guess, but I don't want to pay for it. The LTD package costs more than a moonroof alone would, by far.
 
And Seth mentioned something in the chat last night - he doesn't like power seats. I find they can be annoyingly slow at times, and that's another thing I wouldn't want to pay for.
 
Congrats, Phil, wow, it replaces a GS400? I'm telling you, we are seeing the Legacy replace cars priced much higher.
 
Both wagons have a 900 lbs payload, sedans 850.

2.5i vs. GT by bblacha

Finally had a chance to compare a GT to a 2.5i (that I tested before.) It's obviously faster, but off-the-line the two feel very close. The steering is a bit faster but doesn't feel tighter. The manual tranny feels just as smooth.
 
To be the devil's advocate, I think Subaru priced the base 2.5i too low. In my opinion, there is not enough added value to justify the GT ($5K more) or the 2.5i Ltd ($3.5K.) The 2.5i has so much trickle-down goodness, I should hurry and get one before they notice

Craig, that info should be on the driver's door jam and in the owners manual, but I think Frank is right about the 900lb. The sedans are a bit lower, however.

Lotsa trickle-down goodness, I like that.

Outback Wgn/GT Wagon: 900
Outback Sedan/GT Sedan: 850
Impreza Wagons: 900
Impreza Sedans: 850
Forester Wagon: 900
 
Bottomline:
All Subaru Wagons (regardless of size) ->900lbs
All Subaru Sedans (regardless of size) ->850lbs

Subaru's pickup, the Baja, a measly 800lb.

Which makes no sense at all - it should have the biggest payload!

Average MPG observation and wheel weights by rsq798
Jul 16, 2004 (10:34 am)
Reply
Anybody else notice the average mpg drop between when the car is put to bed and when it wakes up in the morning? Last night it was 24.0. This morning it was 23.7. I would think it'd be the other way around, if anything, with gas flowing back out of the engine.
 
Also, does anybody have any idea how much the wheels weigh? I'm thinking about getting a set of wheels for winter tires, and I'd like to get a set of comparable wheels.
