Every modern Subaru passenger vehicle (Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, Impreza, Legacy, Ascent, WRX) is AWD. There is no FWD trim. Always flatbed.

Subaru's symmetrical AWD is permanently engaged. Wheel-lifting destroys the rear differential and transfer case. Repair cost: $3,000–$6,000.

We default to flatbed on every Subaru. $249 / hour rate.
