Newbie here. A month ago we bought a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek to use for my daily driver and to be a "toad" behind our newly purchased Lexington 283ts. Actually bought the Subi before the Motorhome as we knew we were getting one.
Originally went to look at a 2014 Forrester, but saw how much they'd grown, and test drove a Crosstrek, and bought it.
This makes our 6th Subi.
My dealer, whom I do trust (bought 4 vehicles from him-same sales person) told me that any Subi with a manual tranny can be flat towed. Tranny in nuetral, ignition on, and your set to go. The manual actually states you can only tow the manual with 4 wheels down. Towing on a dolly, front up or rear up, will do the damage.
In the process of getting the Crosstrek set up to tow n go now. Hitch, lights are done, now looking into the Ready Brake System for brakes.
Get that Subi you want and go.
