Subaru BRAT Rear Seats

To be honest there’s probably enough about the BRAT to warrant its own article, but upon reading an article on Jalopnik about the lack of small pickups and 60 year old “chicken tax” as the reason behind it. So how did Subaru get around this?


Simple it welded in 2 brackets in the rear, then bolted 2 bucket seats to them and carpeted the bed. What did this mean, well it was no longer classed as a pick-up oh no, now it was a passenger car!!!!! Job well done.

To be fair I quite like the look of then, lethal? yes, crap in the rain? yes (unless you've got the bed canopy), cool as a penguin in the middle of winter? most certainly yes.
