All versions of the 2009 Subaru Forester will have a maximum towing capability of 2400 pounds, with no option for a towing package upgrade, ensuring consistency across all models. The tongue weight limit is set at 240 pounds, which should be considered when selecting a trailer. The payload capacity ranges from 1080 to 1225 pounds, a slight variation to keep in mind when carrying a heavy load. The base engine delivers 170 lb-ft of torque, while the upgraded engine produces 226 lb-ft.
