Subaru Outback Towing Capacity

When it comes to finding a vehicle that can properly tow heavy loads around the Syracuse, Oneida, and Liverpool, NY, area, you need something durable with excellent traction and a powerful engine. One SUV that may meet your towing needs is the Subaru Outback.

Here at Bill Rapp Subaru, we're dedicated to providing our drivers with an informative and fun car-buying experience. Check out our Subaru Outback towing capacity breakdown below to see if this is the right SUV for you!

Towing Capacity and Powertrain Specs

The Subaru Outback can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.

When you have the standard 2.5L SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder engine, the Subaru Outback can tow up to 2,700 pounds! If you opt to have the 2.4L Turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine under the hood, the Outback can handle a haul that weighs 3,500 pounds!

The standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system and standard Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system provide you with advanced traction control. It'll help you maintain your haul no matter the road conditions. There's also Active Torque Vectoring. It works with the VDC to help apply precise braking power when going around sharp turns.

Finally, the standard Hill Descent Control system helps you maintain a consistent speed when traveling down a steep decline. It works with all the driving systems to provide you with more capability, so you can confidently take advantage of the Subaru Outback towing capacity!

Storage and Cargo Space

On top of its towing capabilities, the Subaru Outback has plenty of interior and exterior cargo and storage space for all the gear that doesn't require a trailer.

For starters, roof rails come standard. That means, you'll be able to strap hiking gear or even a kayak to the roof of your vehicle. They have a maximum load capacity of 150 pounds!

You're provided with 32.5 cubic feet of cargo volume when all the seats are up. If you need more, simply lower the 60/40-split flat-folding rear seatbacks. That'll open a grand total of 75.7 cubic feet of storage room! You'll also find lots of unique storage solutions like an underfloor storage area, a removable cargo-area tray, and four tie-down hooks!

If you've got a few extra friends in tow, there's plenty of room for up to five passengers! Plus, the available StarTex upholstery is water-repellant and easy-to-clean, so it'll fit right into your active lifestyle! Finally, to keep you cozy when your adventure leads into the cold, the Outback comes with available heated front seats.
