Can you flat tow a 2015 Subaru Forester?

I’m moving out West, and I’m going to live in my campervan for a few months until I save up enough money for a place. I need to bring my 2015 Forester with me, but I’ve never towed it before. Is it possible to flat tow a 2015 Subaru Forester?

Sort of: You can flat tow a manual transmission 2015 Subaru Forester, although Subaru does not recommend it. A 2015 Forester with an automatic transmission should never be flat towed under any circumstances, as it can cause major damage.
That said, using a flatbed trailer to tow your 2015 Subaru Forester is probably a better idea. This ensures that you don’t damage the drivetrain or transmission while getting your car to your destination in one piece.
