Gen 7 Subaru Outback Wilderness Suspension, Recovery Locations and Towing Questions ANSWERED!

Join us for an up-close look underneath the all-new Generation 7 Subaru Outback Wilderness! In this video, we explore the suspension, towing features, and front-end design of this exciting new model, showcased as a prototype at the auto show.

We cover similarities to the Gen 6 Wilderness and Ascent, highlight the beefy rear shock, standard rear end (great for skid plates!), and discuss suspension components. Learn about tow hook locations, the integrated optional rear hitch with 4 and 7-pin connectors, and see how the taller grille aids cooling. We also point out the subframe-mounted recovery hooks.

Keep in mind that the vehicle shown is a prototype, and final production versions may have slight differences, though minimal changes are expected.
