Which Subaru Vehicles Have the Best Towing Capacity?

Subaru vehicles have a reputation for being rugged, dependable, and ready for outdoor adventure. So it should come as no surprise that, when equipped with a hitch, Subaru SUVs and crossovers also have great towing capacity. If you’re looking for a vehicle that is capable of hauling, your Los Angeles area Subaru dealer has excellent options.

 

Subaru Ascent

As the biggest SUV in the Subaru family, the Ascent also offers the largest hauling capacity. Most versions of the Ascent can haul up to 5,000 pounds, which is enough to tow a utility trailer or toys like a boat or ATVs.

But the eight-passenger Ascent’s hauling capacity doesn’t stop there. This vehicle offers up to 75.6 cubic feet of interior cargo space and comes with standard raised roof rails. An available line of racking accessories from Thule, including bike carriers and rooftop containers, gives you the ability to secure additional cargo to the roof.

Subaru Outback

The popular Outback can tow anywhere from 2,700 to 3,500 pounds, depending on which version you’re driving, and has an available accessory trailer hitch. It’s the perfect vehicle if you’re taking bikes, kayaks, or a small trailer along on your outdoor adventures. This five-seater SUV offers up to 75.6 cubic feet of interior cargo space when the rear seats are down. And thanks to the available Hands-Free Power Rear Gate, loading that interior cargo is a cinch.

There’s room on top of the Outback as well. The standard raised roof rails are the perfect spot to transport kayaks, skis, and cargo carriers. Built-in tie-downs make it easy to safely secure your items.

Subaru Forester

Most versions of the Subaru Forester can tow up to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped, but the Wilderness model can haul an impressive 3,000 pounds. This vehicle comes with an available Class II hitch receiver. The Forester also has up to 74.2 cubic feet of interior cargo space, and the wide opening on the rear of this car makes loading easy.

The Forester’s integrated roof rail tie-downs provide additional cargo-carrying capability and are the perfect spot to stow small “extras”.

Subaru Crosstrek

The Subaru Crosstrek also has a hauling capacity of up to 1,500 pounds, which jumps to 3,500 pounds with the Wilderness model. This SUV has a spacious cargo area and a wide rear gate for easy loading. Available raised roof rails and a line of Thule racking accessories offer additional cargo-carrying capacity.
