Ultimate Subaru Message Board

Recommended Posts

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).

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.
