We have the MY06 XT Foz - 2.5 Turbo (169kw) and it's been fantastic. Towed a trailer from Darwin to Canberra with no hassles, even sitting on 130+ in the NT. The trailer wasn't all that light and has a canopy, so it's roofline is just under the roofline of the Foz.

I believe a conversion from one of these or the 2.5 WRX would be great in an Outback. You would have to be towing something pretty heavy (for a Subaru) before I think the H6 would be a better option.

When driven around normally (ie not towing or heavy right foot) the economy from the 2.5 Turbo, I believe, would be better also.

That's my 2 cents worth, anyway.....

Cheers,
Willie.
