wraedeohed Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Also thought about transferring my wheels since I'd be trading in my LGT. What do you think? Sent from my XT1096 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesA Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Why not get a light folding 4x8 utility trailer and a hitch for one of your current cars? A lot more space when you need it and who cares if it gets banged up a little bit on runs to the home improvement store or the dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesA Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Eyerolling? Just trying to be helpful. Nevermind, then. Have a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTone Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Have you actually compared the space? The Forester is smaller than the Legacy. We looked at one, unless you're constantly carrying large tall items with the back seats down, the Legacy has more day to day usable space- at least in our overnight test drive of the Forester.

There will be many a tall item....Unfortunately. It might be a wash right now, because the dealer is saying they'll give 12k for a trade........Yeah Right!!

NVAKeith Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'll second the 4x8 utility trailer. I've got one. Refrigerator, washer, kegerator, patio set, basketball hoop, furniture, gas grill, swing set, countless loads of mulch and topsoil. Just some of the things I've carried in it over the last 12 years I've had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Hitch and trailer are a much cheaper alternative and more utilitarian. The legacy tows pretty well also. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an owner of both I can confirm this. If I'm hauling furniture from IKEA or yard equipment from Lowe's I want the Forester since it's taller but if I'm traveling and need cargo space for everyone's luggage the LGT wins by a LOT.

capttris Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I friend of mine bought a house and actually expanded the entire upstairs with dormers, new roof, flooring, walls etc. He drives a 2002 VW Golf diesel. He has an OEM VW roofrack that has hauled everything from full size fridge to couches, lumber, etc. And he removed the rear seats so he has a ton of interior volume. It basically became like a work truck for him. But he's getting around 40 MPG on his daily commute to work, when he's not working on the house. I've driven the Forresters. They are nice. I've though about needing more room for stuff, and I like the idea of towing a small 4x8 trailer instead of getting an SUV. Its a great idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Or...make your Legacy GT a garage queen, and get the Forester and a trailer. Example of the utilitarian-ness from just last Thursday.

Moderators BarManBean Posted July 3, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 3, 2017 A trailer is more useful than just about any vehicle on it's own. I now even own a damn pickup truck, but if I need to move serious stuff I'm still going to hitch up the 5x8 enclosed trailer that I have. And with a 4x8, 5x8, or similar sized utility trailer, you can get them cheap, move them by hand when empty, and tow them with just about anything with a hitch. And no damage to a vehicle from loading, unloading, etc. "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rarely hauls stuff, when he does and I've helped him, it's a pain in the ass to load it up that high. Yes for me it takes some planning to rent a UHaul, but damn, it's so much nicer walking stuff into the trailer vs getting it up into a bed. I've mentioned more than once to him about getting a trailer instead- nope. Hell he's got two bad knees and can barely climb into the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
