In 2012, the Subaru Outback can tow a load ranging from 2,700 to 3,000 lbs, meaning it can pull items like an RV or trailer. It boasts a torque output of 170 to 247 lb-ft, indicating its turning power. With a payload capacity of 1,047 to 1,196 lbs, it can carry loads inside including cargo. The tongue weight is between 270 and 300 lbs, representing the downward pressure on the hitch from the trailer. Prioritize safety when towing by conducting thorough checks before hitting the road, including inspecting tires, brake lights, and ensuring the trailer is properly secured. Practice safe driving by braking early and taking wider turns to stay secure on the road.
