I am looking into getting a tent trailer for the family...I have a Subaru Legacy 2004 Wagon, A/T...I live in cali so most of the interstates are flat but there are some decent grades to head into the mountains. I think the towing cap. is 2000# but is that realistic, shoul I be looking for a lighter trailer....any experience/wisdom/knowledge would be great on towing a tent trailer and what the weight of it was!

THe prices for the 2004's will drop when the 2005's come out because it is a redesign. We bought a 2004 through costco and got the best price, 20 grand for the 35th anniversary edition...we love the car and hope they fixed the head gasket issues. I think we will be safe, only time will tell though. Unless you get the outback with the H-6, even with the 2005's you may run the risk of the head gasket failure.

I bought a 2004 Legacy Wagon 35 edition last October. We also purchased the extended warranty through our Credit Union for 600 bucks, covers up to 6 years or 100,000 miles. So far we love the car, obviously to early to tell if we will have problems with the gasket. From the research I did before we bought they have supposedly fixed the gasket...now it is a 4 layer deal instead of the two layer the Phase I got. If we do have problems, i sure hope it fails before our warranty...if it fails after the car will be paid off at least. I think you are right on in regards to initial cost vs. extended cost. If you really like the Legacy, go for it, get the warranty to cover yourself while you are paying for the car and save the extra 6 grand.
