The Subaru Outback has been a favorite in Coeur d’Alene and across North Idaho for good reason: it’s a wagon-height SUV built for exactly the kind of driving locals do — hauling gear to Lake Coeur d’Alene, commuting to Spokane on I-90, and handling whatever winter throws at Fourth of July Pass. Every new Outback at Parker Subaru comes with standard symmetrical all-wheel drive, up to 9.5 inches of ground clearance, and up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity on turbocharged trims, giving North Idaho drivers real capability without stepping up to a full-size SUV.
The Outback lineup includes the standard 2.5L models and the more powerful 2.4L turbocharged trims — including Limited XT, Touring XT, and the off-road-focused Outback Wilderness — which produce up to 260 horsepower and tow up to 3,500 pounds, enough for a fishing boat trip to Lake Pend Oreille or a small utility trailer. Standard 2.5L trims return up to 31 MPG, making the Outback a practical daily driver for commuters heading between Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls, and Spokane Valley. All trims include Subaru’s upgraded EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, along with standard Blind-Spot Warning and Reverse Automatic Braking.
With X-MODE and available Dual-Function X-MODE on turbocharged trims, the Outback is designed to keep traction on snow-covered roads around Hayden and Rathdrum, muddy trailheads near Farragut State Park, and gravel forest service roads leading up to Silver Mountain or Schweitzer. The Outback Wilderness adds reinforced underbody protection, all-terrain tires, and additional ground clearance for drivers who spend more time off pavement than on it.

Outback trims with the 2.5L engine can tow up to 2,700 pounds, while turbocharged trims like the Limited XT, Touring XT, and Outback Wilderness can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped — enough for most small boats, utility trailers, or campers used around Lake Coeur d’Alene and Lake Pend Oreille.
Yes. Every Outback comes with standard symmetrical all-wheel drive and X-MODE, which optimizes traction on snow and ice.
