About Subaru Baja
The Baja was designed in the United States by a team lead by Peter Tenn,[3] Subaru senior designer, with technical assistance from Subaru Japan. According to an interview with Tenn in August 2002, “The Baja’s outlandish appearance pays homage to rally-race trucks. It’s supposed to seem unique and unusual. It doesn’t fit into any category, which we knew going in. It’s unlike anything else on the highway. That is very important to a lot of individuals.”
The Baja closely followed Subaru’s ST-X (Sport Truck X-perimental) concept car, which was also designed by a special Subaru America design team and debuted at the 2000 Los Angeles International Auto Show. The ST-X had more features than the production Baja (power rear window, under floor storage compartment, tailgate cup holders), but it laid the framework for a four-door, car-truck hybrid based on the Outback.
The Baja had a four-door passenger compartment, a 1,040 mm (41 in) open bed, and a drop-down tailgate in a package 150 mm (6 in) longer than an Outback. The Switchback system allowed the rear passenger seat to fold down and a tiny hatch from the open bed to fold inward, resulting in an extended length of 1,900 mm (75 in) to the end of the open tailgate. A light in the instrument cluster indicated that the Switchback was “open.” The design had two stainless steel exposed buttresses behind the passenger compartment, dubbed “Sports Bars,” that served as structural reinforcement for the open bed.
tinted rear door windows and rear window; an integrated bed liner; a dual-illumination bed light; four bed tie-down hooks; molded-in recesses to receive standard 2×4’s to enable customized (e.g., bi-level) storage; standard roof rails with cross bars; a tow rating of 2,400 lb (1,089 kg), a rear seat center position rigid hinged storage compartment with integral twin cupholders, rear-seat power supply
