Subaru Outback Curb Weight: 3,772 lbs to 3,966 lbs

At 60/40, the 3,772 lbs puts about 2,263 lbs on the front axle and 1,509 lbs on the rear — 754 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.

The two axles are not the same width either: 62.2 in of track at the front against 63.4 in at the rear, 1.2 in narrower in front.

Ranked on the lightest configuration of each nameplate, the Outback is 26 of 98 in Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, 297 lbs below the 3,948 lbs median and lighter than 72 of its peers.

The lightest 2015 record is 3,558 lbs; the lightest 2026 record is 3,772 lbs — 214 lbs heavier (6.0%).

At the top of the range the 2026 file reaches 3,966 lbs against 3,845 lbs in 2015, a 121 lbs increase — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.

The published 18.5-gallon tank holds about 113 lbs of gasoline at 6.1 lb per gallon, and curb weight is measured with it full. Run it to empty and the 4dr Wagon Limited/wilderness/premier is effectively a 3,853 lbs vehicle — 2.8% of the figure quoted above is fuel you will burn off.

With a Wilderness and XT trims configuration, the 2027 Outback is rated to pull 3,500 lbs — 0.9 times the 3,966 lbs the heaviest recorded truck weighs by itself, and 0.9 times the 3,772 lbs of the lightest.

That rating belongs to the Wilderness and XT trims build, not to every truck on this page: a 4dr Wagon Limited/wilderness/premier starts 194 lbs deeper into the combined rating than a 4dr Wagon Touring before a trailer is coupled.

The towing figure on file is for 2027; the weights above are 2026 records.
