With up to 74.7 cubic feet of total interior cargo space, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and nearly 9 inches of ground clearance, the 2017 Subaru Forester is a great vehicle for drivers and families in Cleveland, Beachwood, Shaker Heights, Hudson, and Cleveland Heights who yearn for weekend adventures and cross-road vacations.
But if you own a trailer, a cargo box, motorcycle carrier, or a pop-up camper, you'll be wondering how much a Subaru Forester can tow. And you might be surprised.

The 2017 Subaru Forester, according to recent specs on Subaru's website, is able to competently tow 1,500 pounds when properly equipped.
While some other crossovers and small SUVs max out around 500 - 1,000 pounds, the Forester's superior structure and engineering give you more towing power. Other SUVs, equipped with V-6 engines, can tow more, but don't offer the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and legendary reliability of a Forester!

If you need something with a bit more towing power, you could consider the Subaru Outback 3.6R model: this six-cylinder SUV can tow nearly 3,000 pounds, and offers nearly identical cargo room to the Forester, giving you a lot more freedom in what you choose to bring along on trips.
