What is a Subaru Crosstrek’s towing capacity?
I’m planning to be doing a lot of outdoor activities this summer—mainly boating, biking, and camping. I plan to use my Subaru Crosstrek to tow my equipment wherever I’m headed. What is a Subaru Crosstrek’s towing capacity?

Summer really can’t come soon enough because those activities sound amazing!
The
Subaru Crosstrek
has a towing capacity of 1,000 to 1,500 lbs, depending on the model year and trim level. You can find the exact limit of your Crosstrek in your driver’s manual.It is not recommended to tow something that exceeds this limit as it could be dangerous. In general, it would be good to aim for 20-30% less than the limit to account for any discrepancies or modifications.
Here are some other tips to help you tow safely this summer:
- Double-check your towing capacity and the weight of what you’re towing.
- Get the right hitch installed to tow your equipment properly. You may also need a brake controller.
- Always check the hitch and brakes to ensure everything is in working order before driving away.
- Go on a practice run before your trip so you can address any issues while you have access to a mechanic.
Before going on your adventures, make sure you have the right insurance coverage, as well. You may want to consider adding roadside assistance. That way, you’ll be able to get help even if a breakdown occurs far from home.
