The 2011 Subaru Outback can tow up to 3,000 pounds with a standard 2-inch receiver, and has a tongue weight of 170 pounds on that receiver. This capacity is made possible by the Outback's unibody construction, which differs from having a traditional frame rail where the hitch is attached. The rear payload capacity is impressive at 1,078 pounds, surpassing many other compact crossovers currently available in the market. With the seats folded down, you can also accommodate larger items. When towing with your Outback, it's important to monitor the transmission temperatures as the strain from hauling can impact the gears.
In 2011, the Subaru Outback is capable of towing between 2,700 and 3,000 pounds with a payload of 1,078 pounds. The torque output of the vehicle ranges from 170 pounds-feet at 4,000 rpm to 247 pounds-feet at 4,400 rpm, while the tongue weight is between 270 and 300 pounds.
