The 2010 Subaru Outback might not be specifically designed for towing, but it can still handle a load of 2,700 to 3,000 pounds, depending on how it's set up. The 2.5L 4-cylinder engine doesn't provide as much power as the 3.6L 6-cylinder option. The torque output ranges from 170 to 247 lb-ft, depending on the setup. The vehicle can carry a payload of 1,070 to 1,212 pounds. Subaru states that the maximum tongue weight for the Outback is a strict 200 pounds, regardless of the hitch used. Most drivers suggest keeping it under 175 pounds for optimal performance. Keep in mind that your actual towing capacity could be lower, as indicated by your Outback; it's best not to risk damaging the transmission by trying to tow 3,000 pounds at highway speeds for extended periods.
