OswaldtheBold Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I have a 2013 Outback, 2.5 with CVT. My sailboat trailer weighs about 1000 lbs fully loaded, no trailer brakes. Owner Manual says this is within max limits. Is this really doable? I live in western Colorado, elevation about 4500 feet. Mountain passes can be a bit more. I never tow my boat over 55 mph. I don't want to kill my Outback, but it sure is more comfortable than my 30 year old Landcruiser (my main tow rig). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbhrps Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 OswaldtheBold, With that weight, and that speed ... you are good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 1,000 pounds is nothing. that's like 4 adults and some gear, if it wasn't able to do that Subaru would have some serious issues. if you're also carrying a full cabin, full gear, and a topper....then watch high heat, steep grades. the first limitation of basically all Subaru's ever made is cooling, they will overheat.
