Check to see if the area between the radiator and the ac condensor is plugged up with whatever. It may be hard to see without taking the radiator out but it could be loaded with leaves or what have you.

Why would a Subaru Outback overheat?
You are not giving enough information to get a reasonable answer. It's like asking why it won't start. Any, and I mean any, detail would help. Are we talking about the engine cooling system? What are the symptoms that bring you to the conclusion it is overheating? Have you checked the coolant level? What year and size engine? Does it overheat only when stressing the engine, like climbing hills? Does it overheat only in traffic and okay on the highway? Does it overheat when the car is idling? Has the head gasket ever been replaced?
