I replaced my old Forester with the new Trailseeker. Stsrting price (and interest rate) is much better than the R2.

I can slide in an 8’ board no problem when I’m too lazy to use the roof rack.

I haven’t upgraded the wheels or tires yet but the stock ones have had no problem going up and down the old logging and forest service roads of NW Oregon and SW Washington.

If the Toyota sienna had a plugin ev option that would be really compelling for me. The electric van market is surprisingly sad. I currently only boogie board because it fits in my car.

The r2 is right on the median price for new cars in the US, believe it or not. Crazy. But yeah, an Outback is still cheaper

Subaru dealers near me have the Trailseeker, an EV comparable to the Outback, listed around $35k

Lightnings are awesome trucks

Used Tesla Model Y with AT tires? You can get a small lift kit for them if you want more ground clearance.
