Subaru Pickups: A (Very) Abridged History
Subaru doesn’t have a very long history when it comes to building pickups. They’ve only ever made two, but it’s safe to say that they’ve been memorable at least in enthusiast circles. We are, of course, talking about the Brat and the Baja.
The Brat, also known as the Brumby, was based on the Leone and made from 1978 to 1994, spanning two generations. It was discontinued in America in 1987, but continued elsewhere for seven more years. As for the Baja, it was based on the Outback and had a short run from 2002 to 2006. While neither could really be called a sales success (particularly the Baja), both have built up a dedicated and loyal following over the years.
