Planning to tow a 2013 Subaru Crostrek
I have towed a 2005 Saturn Ion for 10 years and am preparing a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek to tow. I know that a standard transmission can be towed but do not know if I need to have a key in the ignition or...

Miller, we also tow a 2013 Subi Crosstrek. Towed it about 5000 miles so far with no problems at all.
The procedure for towing is...
Trans in neutral.
Emergency brake off.
Key in the ignition, turned to the FIRST position. This unlocks the steering but does not power the car up.
Thats it, your set to go. No fuses to pull and there is no restriction as to speed or distance you can tow.
I keep the main key on the same ring that the motorhome key is on and use the spare Subi key in the ignition when towing.
For info, I'm very fimilar with Subie's--the XV is my 3 rd and wife is on her 3 rd Outback. Great little suv's and wagons. Can't beat em for relibility and long term use.
