Why doesnt Subaru make an Suv/Truck?

its a well recognized fact that if Subaru made a 4x4 truck it could be the most kick on the market.

so why have they never done so?

they're held to a higher standard for 4x4 cars.. why don't they take that standard over to trucks?

ok.. I didn't know about the Tribeca.. but the Baja isn't a truck.. its as most of a truck as an el camino is

So..you've never heard of the Tribeca then?

They do make a SUV, nice BTW it is called TRIBECA

The Subaru Brat was so ugly like ALL Subarus of the era, not many people bought them. One cool feature was two seats with seat belts in the rear.

I may be off base, but I am pretty sure all Subaru's are theoretically called "light trucks" to meet epa regs. They look pretty much like cars to me. I am thinking the powerplant on Subaru's is set up for a lower center of gravity. Personally, I'd like to see Mitsubishi import a compact diesel 4x4 pickup into North American markets. Their bigger line of Commercial trucks are bloody nice.

Your right. They may have done so more with the baja, I am not sure what they thinked.
Get it higher off the ground and get rid of the backseat. Change the front end so it does not look exactly like a legacy.
Offer the WRX STI engine in it.
Something like that could compete very well against small trucks like the ranger and tacoma.

As far as a bigger truck although, I do not think Subaru is up for that.

PS the tribeca is pretty kick

My guess is they do not believe it to be an inexpensively viable choice. To me and I love my Subaru but to me, Subaru is kind of a "niche" car company . . . not out to make every type and size of car imaginable. They do what they do they do it well.

Perhaps they may rethink that at some point at some point.

BTW the Baja was discontinued.

They do. But they're only available in the Asian countries.

subaru is good at making AWD and that is different then 4X4 the tribeca and the baja are the only things that they have close to it but baja isn't an el cameno

In addition to the aforementioned Tribeca, there's our old friend the Forester, which is more of a tall station wagon.

Subaru has had too much success building an all wheel drive car which must be listed in the epa as an suv anyway to meet emission levels. why ruin a good thing

Yes, it is a truck.
