While the Subaru Crosstrek may resemble rugged SUVs known for their towing abilities, it falls short in this department. With a maximum tow rating of just 1500 pounds, it falls behind due to its small 2.0L 4-cylinder engine generating only 145 lb-ft of torque. The payload capacity ranges from 1,113 to 1,230 pounds, and the maximum tongue weight is 200 pounds, though it's advised not to exceed 150 pounds. Attempting to tow heavy loads with the Crosstrek can cause transmission overheating and eventual failure. If towing capability is important to you, there are better options available than the Crosstrek.
