Well I said when I got my Subaru set up to tow I would report back. Now I only towed it about 10 miles today after they finished up on the car.
I came back home and traveled 60+ MPH and had no problem maintaining that speed. I have a somewhat hill on the way home but it is a pull and had no problem keeping my speed at 60 and this is without shifting down. When I came on the freeway The ramp is goes up and I had no problem reaching over 60MPH to merge with traffic. We are getting ready to take a little jaunt this Saturday and will be towing the car with us. So I'll know more next week how I like it.
Also on the height of the hitch I have nothing to worry about as the height of the car is higher than most so I only have 1 1/2" difference between the hitch height and the tow bar height.
Oh and my hitch height for some that posted on my other thread is 24" off the ground to the center of the receiver as I had stated before that it was.
Here is a picture of the rig hitched up and ready to go in front of our house.
