- The Toyota 4Runner and Subaru Outback are two midsize SUVs that offer great off-roading capabilities. In this video, Travis Langness takes a close look at a used 2019 4Runner and a used 2020 Outback. He assesses how each of these off-road SUVs handles the outdoors to help you decide which one would be a good fit for your off-roading needs. Are you looking for a used SUV that is more geared toward hard-core off-roading and climbing rocks? Or are you interested in one that offers more in the way of daily around-the-town driving? Travis tackles these questions and more in our off-road SUV comparison of the 2019 Toyota 4Runner vs. 2020 Subaru Outback.

Which off-roader is right for you?
www.carmax.com/articles/toyota-4runner-vs-subaru-outback-comparison
I don't think that these two vehicles are comparable. The 4Runner is a truck and the Outback is a car. If you want a daily commuter with some dirt roads on the weekend, then the Subaru is definitely the better choice. I have a 4Runner and the lack of acceleration and handling can be annoying sometimes, BUT when you go on difficult trails then you know why you bought it. It is true that the technology (especially engine and transmission) is outdated, but it is 100% reliable. That is different from Subaru's CVT which does not seem to last very long and is not bullet proof at all, at least not when you try going on roads that are more than just unpaved. I would never call any MODERN Subaru an off-roader.
There is no right or wrong, or better or worse. It is pure preference. I think both cars are great when used for what they are intended to.
So the outback is cheaper, gets better gas mileage and can go off-road well enough for 99% of drivers. The choice is easy... 4runner. The outback is the better buy but few cars are cooler then a 4runner.
Which is why I see so many around San Francisco that you KNOW have never been off the asphalt.
Lol this is made me spit out my water reading it 🙌🏻😂
Yup. I was struggling and wanted to make the logical choice and failed. 4Runner!! I had to pay a bit extra for the TRD Pro but it puts a smile on my face looking at it and being in it. It is what it is..
Outback is so boring looking 4Runner just has cool factor that outback can’t beat. And you know the 4Runner lasts forever with care.
@@s4awd2 I think the pro is kind of a waste, you sacrifice off road and sport capability to get a mediocre blending of both when compared to either the trd offroad or trd sport.
4runner wins with it's non cvt transmission and non direct injection engine With the 4runner platform it makes it much easier to mod the vehicle if you choose to do so later on.
Subaru uses a Touch screen just to adjust the AC? No thanks! There is a thing as too MUCH tech!
Why didn't you compare a 2020 Subaru to a 2020 4Runner, instead of a 2019? Seems like you tide Toyota's hands behind its back because you knew the 2020 model made the jump to the larger, 8" touch screen and the Toyota Safety Sense suite of safety tech. We have a '22 4Runner and it has Adaptive Cruise Control, as well all the safety stuff you'll ever need, like Blind Spot Monitor and Lane Departure Warning. But all the basics are easy to operate and intuitive, and all the safety stuff can be adjusted, and some turned off. I do wish the 4Runner's Infotainment screen were higher rez, AND had a faster processor...that thing is very laggy at times!
If you'll never do any kind of uneven road, 4wheeling, the Subaru might be a better choice. But if you do, the 4Runner is a hands down winner. It WILL take you places the Subaru can't go, but also go everywhere it can go with it's own tough style and simplicity. I actually find it quiet and very comfortable on road. AND, the rear cargo hatch window on the 4Runner rolls down :-). Not to mention, how long will that Subaru CVT transmission last, and what's the cost to replace it??
CVT's last a significantly longer period of time due to not having as much metal on metal contact nor needing transmission fluid or gears. CVT is a FAR superior technology than any 5 speed. Most sports cars use them. 2022 Toyota Supra even uses CVT and smashes shifting records. Much cheaper cost to replace/repair, again due to the lack of excessive metal parts. You can go further back in time and watch as 4runner falls even further behind in technology. 4runner wins in heavy offroad and nothing else.
@@stringcheese1731 I’ve read a lot of dumb comments on the internet, but I can’t decide whether saying CVTs don’t need transmission fluid or saying sports cars (specifically 2022 Supra) use CVTs makes yours rank the highest
If you have a sketchy winter commute. And want a safe solid commuter. Go with Subie. Even a Forrester. If you wanna pretend to be an off roader like 100% of the raptors you see around town, then sacrifice tech and safety for looking 🆒
I guarantee you the 4Runner does just as good in sketchy winter commuting. Plus it’s safer and a lot more reliable. Afterall it’s a Toyota.
@@willchart1nop , you can say 4 runner dominate on everything else , but snow. I drove both with all season tires on snow, 4runner just like anyother big suv with struggling for traction, but outback , you cant even deliberately slide or slip that car unless yoi turn off traction control. AWDs are dominating 4WD on snow, not for snow plow
@@Justin-nv4Runner would be able to tow another car out of the snow.
@@PocketAznRoxr For sure but 4runner need winter tyres for that
I work as a contract nurse, and even when I’m not on contract, I don’t mind driving to a vacation spot. I love both vehicles after test driving, and am still torn on which I want. I will say that the Toyota May slightly edge out due to reliability though.
I've owned an outback and test drove a 4runner, unless you are doing serious offroading or some mid level towing, Outback 3.6r or XT with a lift kit wins everyday.
For a video that's only 1 year old, should have compared with at least 2021 model. Not 2019.
Why? Most people aren't buying 21's and up. The majority of buyers look at a few years old. This is appropriate for a side by side comparison.
4runner clearly a wagon on wheels with a lift!
T 5
I don’t care about how the knobs look, but Toyota has such bad tech. Maybe this will change over the coming years. But they are really outdated
Mala comparación, dos vehículos de segmentos diferentes, de todas formas aúnque me duela, Subaru hoy por hoy es mas íntegro que Toyota.
4 Runner hands down is the true off road machine. Subaru is a tennis moms all wheel drive station wagon.
100%!
Funny but to be honest I'm starting to hear the 4runner being called the soccer moms suv. Which pisses me off because I have and love the 4runners off road capability.
I drive a 4Runner and have to admit there are countless milfs and soccer moms driving these to yoga class in my town.
I love my 4 Runner. I won't own anything else as long as they still make them! There's no comparison between these two vehicles. This video is a joke.
I love my 4Ruuer (s) too! But I think the video is actually pretty informative in drawing out the differences between the two. The Subaru can handle mild dirt roads, and is more comfortable with much better gas mileage and on-road driveability. But all those uneven moguls showed it is NOT a choice for even moderate off-roading But will say the video was a little disingenuous about noise and on-road comfort, and should have emphasized that it will do much more than the Subaru and a MUCH better all-around vehicle for folks that go off road occasionally.
@@RobS123 stock yeah but lift the suby and put some shocks on it and bam. They also day the subs smart awd is the best out there. Not my words
sounds like someone that jus wants to flame about how great their car is. 4runner wins in heavy offroad and nothing else.
@@RobS123 You havent driven an outback.. that much is clear.
This video is a joke. I have a 4runner. If I wanted a crossover I would have bought one. The Subaru hands down is the ugliest vehicle I've seen. It shouldn't even be compared. If I want to sit on the ground I would buy a car.
Hey! I own an Outback! My truth is that I have always had my eyes on the 4Runner… most likely will be my next vehicle. Or a long bed Tacoma.
@@AncientRe and the Subaru is for people who want their safe spaces and use it to drive thru Starbucks, while also acting like they ever leave the city.
