The Subaru BRAT (an acronym for Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter) was a pickup version of the Subaru 1600 from the 1970s. The BRAT was developed directly from the company's four-wheel drive station wagon model and was first introduced as a 1978 model. Similar in concept to the Chevrolet El Camino and the Ford Ranchero, American versions also had AstroTurf carpet and welded-in jumpseats in the cargo area as a tax dodge; the Brat could fairly be called a truck, yet the seats in the cargo bed reinforced Subaru's designation of the BRAT as a car - passenger cars imported into the US were charged only a 2.5% tariff, compared to 25% charged on trucks. The BRAT was restyled in 1981 and the jumpseats were discontinued after the 1985 model year. Production continued into the early 1990s but ceased to be imported to North America around 1987.
