Subaru of Utica is here to dive into the 2023 Subaru Forester’s towing capacity and other capabilities that make it a great adventuring vehicle. Let’s go!
The Subaru Forester’s towing capacity depends on the configuration and the trim level you select. For most trim levels, the maximum towing capacity of the Subaru Forester is 1,500 pounds. This is enough towing power to tow motorcycles, jet skis, or ATVs.
The Subaru Wilderness trim, when properly equipped, has a maximum towing capacity of 3,000 pounds. It uses an available class two hitch receiver, which lets you haul more. A 3,000-pound towing capacity allows you to bring along a small camping trailer, small boat, or a pair of ATVs or snowmobiles.
The Subaru Forester has Trailer Stability Assist to help you tow your toys. It senses potential unsafe conditions and applies the brakes to help you maintain control.
Performance Capabilities
The Forester has a powerful 2.5L engine with 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. To help maintain traction when you need it, the Forester comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. This system optimizes traction based on driving conditions like rain, snow, or uneven roads.
X-MODE can also help you tackle the great outdoors. This feature optimizes the engine output while providing traction on low-friction surfaces. Some models even have a dual-function X-MODE with deep snow and mud settings.
Subaru Intelligent Drive, or SI-Drive, is a performance management system available on Sports models. This provides a more engaging drive by enhancing the throttle response.
When planning an adventure, you likely need space to bring along whatever toys and tools you need. The Forester has plenty of space to bring along your favorite gear. The extra wide rear opening makes loading up quicker and easier. The power rear gate lets you open and close your trunk with the touch of a button.
With the rear seats down, the Forester has a maximum cargo capacity of 74.2 cubic feet. If you’re traveling with friends, you’ll still have 28.9 cubic feet to work with.
Another location for cargo and toys is your Forester’s roof. The Forester Sport comes with integrated roof rail tie-down points so you can attach canoes or additional cargo safely.
