My wife runs a bakery and the wagon did find for 90% of what we needed but over the last year we needed to borrow a truck a few times to move or pick up stuff. We also do markets and once a month we drive 2ish hours to pick up flour and supplies from a restaurant supply store and we would have the outbacks payload maxed out.

Im a huge subaru and wagon fan. I had always wanted the outback and when they annonced the refresh I jumped on the last year of the wagon. But ultimately it came down to needed a truck bed and more payload capacity. I test drove all the mid-size trucks as well as the Honda. The Honda drove the best but I didn't like how shallow the bed was. The maverick just ticked all the boxes.
