If you want an SUV that can pull a trailer or haul gear, the 2026 Subaru Forester is a great choice. This popular compact SUV offers solid towing ability that works well for many drivers in Norwood and nearby areas. Let's take a closer look at what this SUV can tow.
Standard Forester Towing Capacity
The new Subaru Forester comes with a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds. This may not sound like much, but it actually covers many common towing tasks. Drivers in Newton often use this capacity to pull small utility trailers filled with yard supplies or home improvement materials.
With 1,500 pounds of towing power, you can also bring along a small camper or tent trailer. Small personal watercraft, like jet skis, are easy to tow as well. Many families in Brookline use their Forester to pull bikes on a trailer rack for outdoor adventures.
Forester Wilderness: More Towing Muscle
For those who need more pulling power, the new Subaru Forester Wilderness steps up with a 3,000-pound towing capacity. This is double what the standard model offers. Residents of Dedham who love outdoor activities will enjoy this extra capability.
The Wilderness trim can tow medium-sized boats, larger camping trailers, and even small ATVs. The upgraded suspension and added ground clearance also help when driving on rough roads to reach boat ramps or campsites. Drivers in Sharon can take full advantage of these off-road features.
Built for Safe Towing
Standard all-wheel drive (AWD) comes on each Subaru Forester, which helps keep your SUV stable when pulling a trailer. Symmetrical AWD helps maintain traction on wet or slippery roads, which is helpful for Stoughton drivers during rainy seasons.
The Forester also includes trailer stability assist as part of its safety features. This system helps control sway if your trailer starts to move side to side.
