The towing capacity of the 2018 Subaru Forester XT ranges from 1500 to 1800 pounds depending on the engine type. Diesel engines can handle larger loads due to their different transmission and gear ratio, providing more torque for towing, while gas engines have a lower towing capacity. To increase the towing load, one can consider installing a transmission cooler to prevent overheating. Another option is to ensure that the trailer being towed has trailer brakes to assist with braking when carrying a heavy load. These upgrades typically cost between $750 and $1000, depending on the quality of the parts used.
