Maybe it's time for a new vehicle. How do you guys like the bigger Subaru Outback SUVs? I may start towing a small trailer and will definitely put in a HAM radio....

Re: Getting ready for BOISE WINTER!!!!
Subaru Outback is a CVT transmission.
I drove one around NZ recently.
I wouldn’t buy one myself.
Meh.

Why not? What's a CVT transmission?

Re: Getting ready for BOISE WINTER!!!!
CVT = horrible driving experience.
Basically a wet belt inside the transmission that is prone to maintenance issues.
That’s a full engine out job.
Subaru engines are not known for their durability.
Learn something Tom.
Just once.

CVT 101 for Tom
A CVT transmission, or continuously variable transmission, is a type of automatic transmission that can change through an infinite range of gear ratios, allowing for smoother acceleration and better fuel efficiency compared to traditional transmissions. It uses two pulleys connected by a belt or chain, which adjust the gear ratio seamlessly without shifting between fixed gears.
Sounds great, until the belt stretches or breaks. And they do.
