My MY21 Ascent Touring was delivered on Friday (Mar 12) a day before the big snowstorm that hit Colorado on Saturday and Sunday! It has about every option plus a few extras - trailer hitch, extra mats and protectors, and roof rails. I had a "clear bra" added to protect the hood (lots of gravel and sand on roads here in Colorado), some tinting to the windows, and a sun shade added to the 3rd row seat windows. I chose the Pearlized White exterior with chocolate brown interior. (too many years in Texas summers taught me the value of a light colored car!) I spent the snowy weekend pouring over the manuals and trying to learn all the electronics options. This my 5th Subaru since 2003. I've had a new 2003 Forester, a used 2005 Outback Eddie Bauer, a new 2014 Forester, a new 2016 Outback Limited, and now the Ascent Touring. A lot of the controls are like the Outback so it was easy to drive from the beginning. We've only driven around town running a few errands, but I love the way it drives and the wonderful acceleration from the turbo!
There is a long backstory for getting to this place, but one thing we want to do is get a camping trailer. Now that I have the Ascent, we are waiting to pull the trigger on a lightweight travel trailer until my wife and I both get past some medical procedures. I'll be frequenting the towing section of the forum, and have already gleaned a lot of good Ascent specific information. Glad to finally be "official" in the forum!
