Is there a size difference for cargo between a Subaru Outback and Forester in the back?
Yes. The Outback is longer and the Forester is a little taller but shorter in general. About what years are you looking at? The forester got bigger with age.
I'm probably looking in the 09-10 range for both with what I am looking to spend..
So there is about an 8" difference. I think it's 188" for the Outback and 180" for the Forester. It gets taller for the forester so the cargo capacity is kind of close but real world unless you stack everything up the outback will be more useful.
Can't make comparisons for that vintage. But I was very surprised to find that my 2015 Outback has more floor length with the seats down than my 2010 Transit connect did.
According to Edmunds the max cargo capacity for each is: 2009 Forester - 68.3 cu ft, 2009 Outback - 65.4 cu ft.
That would be with the seats folded down and assumes stacked to the ceiling so the extra height of the Forester has a lot to do with it.
I like to search google with year, model, and cu ft. That usually turns up that info in the first couple matches.
