★ Top Answer
For a 2000 Subaru Forester, the standard towing capacity is 2000 pounds with a required tongue weight of 200 lbs. It is powered by a 2.0L DOHC engine that delivers 250 HP and 166 ft.-lbs of torque at 4,000 rpm. The payload capacity is approximately 1100 pounds. While the Subaru comes with a high-torque lineartronic CVT transmission, there is no factory-installed towing package. However, you can get a hitch and wiring installed at the dealership. To enhance towing performance and prevent transmission overheating, consider adding an aftermarket transmission cooler to maintain peak transmission efficiency under heavy loads.
