Some trucks can be almost as bad as some cars if you dont put any weight in the back. Other than the clearance height there is no reason if you dont need it for what trucks should be used for.

Its just an option since he mentioned the need for possibly a few car seats.

Think about the purchase logically - you will still need to drive this vehicle in good weather, and park it.
Is there some weird Subaru-owner conspiracy going on? I always hear about how cheap they are, then I look at them and they're totally expensive. You just posted you couldn't find a Subaru at the dealership in Calgary for over $30,000, and even specified a Tribeca. I just went to subaru.ca and the base model starts at $41,190, not including taxes! If you want any options, just add money. The top trim level starts at $47,690, not including more options and taxes.

A lame, bloated base Outback starts at $30,690, plus taxes. The top trim level Outback starts at $42,190, plus taxes.

Did you just make a mistake when you typed "they didnt have a vehicle over $30K for anything they sell, Tribeca..."?
