Subaru Brat Overview
The Subaru BRAT, short for Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter, was a pickup truck produced by Subaru from 1978 to 1994. It was based on the Subaru Leone station wagon, but it had a unique rear end with two side-facing jump seats.
The BRAT was powered by a 1.6L or 1.8L four-cylinder engine that produced 80 or 95 horsepower. It was available with either a four-wheel drive or two-wheel drive system. The BRAT was known for its quirky design, off-road capabilities, and affordability. It was a popular choice for young people and those who wanted a unique and versatile vehicle. The BRAT was discontinued following the 1994 model year. It was replaced by the Subaru Baja, which was a more conventional pickup truck.
Overall, the Subaru BRAT was a unique and versatile vehicle that was popular with young people and those who wanted a different kind of pickup truck. It was not as practical or as powerful as some rivals, but it was a good value for the money.
