I honestly don't know how you drew this with sketchup, I struggled to find enough shapes to draw my welding cart Fantastic work, really professional looking.
Only problem I can see is the bed being too small practicality wise, after seeing an XV up close and personal, the distance from the front doors to the tailgate would make for a very small rear tray especially with the rear wheel stored in there and the fuel tank. Perhaps a longer wheelbase is needed?

Will it ever end!?

Outback Ute ...
Thanks ... Coming from a drawing background it's not too hard + I've cheated a bit by copying & pasting ...Silverbullet wrote: ... I honestly don't know how you drew this with Sketchup ... Fantastic work, really professional looking ...
Yep, I've covered that with the OutBack Ute version ...Silverbullet wrote: ... Only problem I can see is the bed being too small ... Perhaps a longer wheelbase is needed ... ?
The whole intent was for the XV-Ute to be a small, economical utility ute ...
& that it could be considered as a successor to the Brumby ...

Bugger that! They're leaving behind a sector that they filled quite well some time ago. It's about time they lived up to the name of the brumby again with a newer modern take on the same little brute ute they produced back then - but it still has to be functional and not all out luxury/safety orientated.steptoe wrote:This beast above is taking into consideration Subaru's declaration they no longer wish to be in the agricultural sector - SUV's sell well
Bantum, could you knock up a long wheel base 4 door version for those family orientated drivers out there these days? Could also be another angle for this ute - but better than the Baja due to the longer wheel base and the rear wheel being situated in the middle of the carry/load bed.
Cheers
