Traded the Outback in on the 30th for a 2023 Subaru Ascent Onyx Edition. Has 42k miles on it, more than we really wanted but it had everything else we wanted and was in great condition. Better than the similarly aged and milage Explorer XLT Sports we were also looking at. We don't particularly care for the 20" wheels so they'll probably go when it needs tires in the next year or so.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Yeah they definitely appear thicc, but surprisingly they're among the smallest in their class. They're like 3-4in narrower and 5 in shorter than an explorer of similar year. Which is what we were mainly cross shopping it with

Yeah I don't understand why Subaru chose to put 20s on a vehicle trim that's basically Wilderness 'light'
Because they know the majority of people who buy an Ascent aren't ever going to take it off road.
