The story
The second generation Subaru BRAT, produced from 1982 to 1987, was a compact pickup truck known for its unique design and practicality. It featured a rear-facing jump seat in the cargo area to circumvent the US tariff on light trucks, classifying it as a passenger vehicle.
This feature, along with its compact size and all-wheel-drive capability, made it a versatile and practical choice for a variety of uses.
History
The Subaru BRAT (Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter) was developed in response to the growing demand for small, versatile utility vehicles in the 1970s and 1980s. The second generation continued to build on the success of its predecessor with improved styling and features. It was particularly popular in the United States due to its unique design and the ability to avoid the 'chicken tax' by including rear-facing seats in the cargo area. The BRAT was powered by Subaru's reliable flat-four engine and offered four-wheel drive, making it a practical choice for both urban and rural environments.
