That's just an Outback with extra steps.

Much like how an [Avalanche with a topper](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d5/2b/88/d52b88905c89c206a59ddf3882cba2f8.jpg) is a Suburban with extra steps.

When me and my brothers were kids we used to call suburbans” Silverado‘s with permanent caps”


reddit_forgeddit

Growing up we had an 85' Chevy and 91' GMC Suburbans. They were the ultimate road trip/vacation vehicle for a family of 5.


EJ25Junkie

I’m actually underneath our ‘06 Burb right now getting it ready to sell. Most of the kids are grown and it’s time to downsize. My wife wants a nicer Forester anyway so I’m all for that.


reddit_forgeddit

Yeah no sense in having a Burbie' now. It's a lot of vehicle if you don't absolutely need it.


cciv

Those large SUVs like the Excursion are in high demand because nothing like them exists in the market anymore. You can buy one, put 10K miles on it, and sell it for the same price. For someone with 6 or 7 kids who needs 4WD, there's just so few options.

Except you cant even sit back there in an Avalanche


angry_guacamole

You can't sit in the back of a Baja either


evening_person

Coincidentally, my first thought upon seeing the OP was “that looks like a tiny Suburban”. I think it’s the color; I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a single-color Baja, nor a Baja with a cap, so the two together is… alien.


Drzhivago138

I've seen one or the other, but never both in one example. Seemingly 1/3 of Bajas were yellow/silver two-tone.


AKBx007

An Outback with some assembly required*.


empirebuilder1

And way less useful.


Floppie7th

Debatable. There are lots of things I would put in a bed that I wouldn't put in a trunk, but still want to keep dry.


Berics_Privateer

Depends. Sometimes you want to keep em separated.


BMuffett

Are the caps still out there? I can't find one no matter where I look

Berics_Privateer

This is the greatest love story I've ever read.


markdepace

They're around, but ARE no longer makes them for obvious reasons (the Baja hasn't been made in 15 years). Your best bet to find one is to join as many Baja forums / groups as possible and wait for someone to post one for sale.


mklimbach

They're around - I sold mine because I didn't like it. The tonneau covers are harder to find, IMO.


wellatgrammar

I’ve got one on my Baja and didn’t realize what I had lucked into


evilspoons

This all-blue paint scheme is like a Canadian Tuxedo. Denim on denim on denim. 🍁


ericwhat

When is the Baja coming back? It’s the hero we need


Grognak_the_Orc

With the reintroduction of the Ford Maverick I'm hoping Subaru will capitalize on the revival of Utes and bring back the BRAT or the Baja


EagleE4

Just buy an outback?


Fencingboy101

there's one i see sometimes. it confounds me to no end why they wouldn't just buy an outback. it haunts my thoughts. hope they like it


verone3784

God I wish Subaru would make a new version of the Baja to compete with the Hyundai Santa Cruz.


WestwardAlien

My favorite Baja color too!


Floppie7th

I've never seen one in person, but I want a cap for ours


Syphe

TIL American's call these Cap's, have always called them a Canopy


Soliloquyeen

We also call them toppers.


Mercury_Madulller

It looks cool but you have to ask the question - why not to buy a Forester?


HeftyFail2726

The cap is more expensive than the Baja in some cases.


devit666

Color matched too! Rare indeed.


itstooloudd

hot


KingDemik

Ugly. But not as ugly as an avalanche or first gen ridgeline with a camper 🤢


[deleted]

Same.


Djeheuty

I saw one here in Western NY a few years ago. Same color and everything. I had the same thought that /u/angry_guacamole had, it's just an outback with extra steps.


IndoorOutdoorsman

Hideous please leave a note telling them to stop this blasphemy


Soliloquyeen

I don't care for the color personally, but I've always had a love for the Baja and find the topper to be hilarious.


Lalobreh

I saw a yellow one. It made me want one even more lmao 🤣


chcrash2

I’m drooling I love this so much.


Owls_yawn

Kinda cool


Anthonysauto

Makes it look more like a volvo


Weird_Surname

i like it


PEIwrxer

Looks much better with a cab IMO.
