    Subaru is not rear wheel drive. They are all full time 4 wheel drive. Like was said before, manual transmission can be towed, automatic transmission must be trailer towed (4 wheels off the road).

    Luv my Subaru Forester Manual Transmission
  • There ARE some rear-wheel drive cars that can be towed with the rear tires on a dolly and the front tires restrained from turning.
  • Bummer wife just made final payment on her outback,was hoping to tow it,guess I will look for crv or something.thanks
  • generally speaking, Subarus with manual transmissions are towable.
    Subarus with automatic transmissions are not.
    You can NOT dolly tow ANY Subaru!
  • According to what I have read, there is no way to make this vehicle 4 down towable, you need to put it on a trailer.
