Subaru Outback nominated for truck of the year

Today, the Subaru Outback was nominated for the 2010 North American Truck of the Year award, which might have people wondering if used Subaru models in New Jersey are as equally acclaimed.

Since its inception into the car world in 1995, the Subaru Outback has been known to many as the “world’s first sport-utility wagon.”

The 2006 Outback combines the all-terrain capability of previous models with the luxurious interior of the 21st century SUV, according to Edmunds.com.

Outbacks are renowned for their ability to handle various weather conditions, but the ’06 version is “fun to drive even when the weather isn’t terrible,” quoted by the news source.

Although the base engine only provides adequate power compared to other cross-over SUV’s, the turbo four and H6 engines have quick acceleration and enough power to handle any type of off-road driving.

The ground clearance on the 2006 Outback has been raised to 8.7 inches, a total of 10 inches higher than the previous year’s model. Subaru also added a navigation system to the list of available options.

Used Subaru models in New Jersey should benefit from the recent accolades given to the 2010 Outback.
