I like the green color they came in. If I won the lottery, I'd definitely consider the latest gen Outback. Ive been taking care of a bed bound parent and my own struggles that keep me home, thats the only way I could afford one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brus brother Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) All "switches" are gone. Don't worry though, the rear gate has now become the battery killer switch. Posted HERE Campers and tailgaters have discovered that system readiness of the hatch motor quickly drains the battery, especially troublesome if you are camping in remote areas. https://www.subaruoutback.org/threads/tailgate-open-battery-drain.517663/ There are various solutions using a caribiner to trick the lock mechanism. Seems like there should be a software upgrade but according to the Grand Wizard of Volt (member Rampage) the circuitry is fairly complicated.

I'm not quite that good, but thanks. When I have time I will look into the rear hatch/battery drain thing. The easiest thing so far, is the lock trick. Right now, for some reason, I am real busy with computers for business and police. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
