The 2001 Subaru Forester can tow up to 2,000 pounds with a 200-pound tongue weight requirement. It has an average torque of 166 ft.-lbs @ 4,000 rpm from its 2.0L DOHC engine and a payload capacity of 1,100 pounds. The vehicle's 2.0L engine generates 250 HP and is equipped with a high-torque lineartronic CVT transmission suitable for heavier loads. While the Subaru does not come with a towing kit installed from the factory, you have the option to have the dealership install towing and wiring for you. To ensure the transmission performs optimally and prevents overheating under the additional load, it might be beneficial to consider adding an aftermarket transmission cooler.
