Thanks for all the replies and advice. We will be looking at a bunch of things over the next few months. Really do like the Outback plus local dealer is only a couple of miles away. Have a few others that we want to look at. We may not make the jump, much depends on how the next few trips go.
I'll have to check my old post when I was in process of purchasing the 150. I don't think you can get much more capacity out of it than what I have other than dropping to the XLT to lessen a few pounds. The GCWR is 17,100 and Max trailer is 11,100 for my set up. Sticker does not show the GCWR but payload is 2090 which means my GVWR is 8,200. Non HD is 7700 with the 157"WB and EB. I'd have to go to the scales to see what my actual available trailer weight would be. I'll have to post in TOW VEHICLES to see how heavy others are towing with the EB and HD payload.
