I am pulling my boat with an older Subaru Forester. I am right up against the limits for my vehicle. Nonetheless, the Forester seems to command the boat, in both road and ramp use. The boat is light.

I am probably extraordinarily careful when towing. I leave more room to stop, drive slower, etc. Whether your tow vehicle is HUGE or just enough, prudent driving is good stuff.

Subaru lowered the towing capacity of the Forester in recent models. I won't be able to replace my Forester with a Forester. The only option from Subaru is the Outback wagon, which is a bit more expensive and more luxurious than I like. I think I need to write another letter to Subaru explaining how my next car might have to be a Ford Escape ... or maybe even an F-150.
