Yeah the 2018 got the face lift with a bunch of new features, most important to me was carplay.
The 2020 Outback with the same engine and a slightly revised transmission design is rated for the same 3500 pound tow rating as the 3.6, and in Europe it's rated for 3500 pounds. So if I ever get adventurous I might try finding a super light weight trailer and tow my Miata around. The car itself is right at the 2700 pound limit so I need to find a SUPER light trailer and probably go really slow. I have hauled around a few trailers and it did alright.
But the 4 cylinder just can't compete with the flat 6 being perfectly balanced. I've joked before that if you put in Outback in reverse it's now a Porsche.
Interesting. I didn't know that about the more recent builds. It's good to hear that there are still some options.
I bought my car at the beginning of 2020, and I wasn't looking for new car prices, so I didn't look at anything more recent than the 2018.
