New Subaru Forester FAQs
How much can the Subaru Forester tow?
Most Subaru Forester trim levels have a max tow rating of 1,500 pounds. The Wilderness trim's transmission oil cooler doubles that capability, allowing the Forester to pull trailers up to 3,000 pounds.
Is the Subaru Forester AWD?
Yes, every Subaru Forester includes the automaker's signature Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system as standard equipment, ensuring confident handling and control in challenging conditions.
Is the Subaru Forester good for camping?
Yes. The Subaru Forester has several attributes that make it well-suited to camping adventures, including all-wheel drive, a spacious and versatile cargo area, and tall ground clearance. The Wilderness trim is even better suited to outdoor adventures thanks to its off-road-focused equipment and reinforced roof rails that can support a rooftop tent (800-pound stationary load limit).
Can the Subaru Forester drive on sand?
The Forester can traverse light, compacted sand with careful technique, especially when using the available X-MODE® traction management system. However, sand is among the most difficult surfaces for any vehicle, and deep, loose areas can be extra challenging due to tire width and ground clearance concerns. Approach sandy areas with caution.
Which is bigger inside, the Subaru Forester or the Subaru Outback?
The Subaru Outback's passenger volume (109 cubic feet) is a little larger than the Forester's (106.6 cubic feet). In terms of storage capacity, most Subaru Forester trims have 27.5 cubic feet behind the second row and 69.1 cubic feet behind the first. The Subaru Outback's cargo area measures 32.6 cubic feet, expanding to 75.6 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
Which Subaru Forester has leather seats?
The Subaru Forester's Limited and Touring trims come standard with leather upholstery. Sport and Wilderness models have Subaru StarTex, a water-repellent, synthetic leather material.
