The 2017 Subaru Crosstrek is not built for towing, equipped with only a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. It can handle up to 1,500 pounds, which is on the lower side for an SUV. The maximum tongue weight is 150 pounds, calculated by dividing the towing capacity by ten. While it's not a powerhouse, you can still tow small trailers and campers with caution. The '17 Crosstrek has a maximum torque of 145 lb-ft and a payload of 1,135 to 1,234 pounds. It's not meant for heavy-duty hauling of large trailers or equipment, as doing so could damage your transmission severely.
