Blanco1,
My recollection from reading towing guides is that the manual transmission Suburu's are all approved for flat towing. I just mentioned it because you said you liked them,

If it turns out I'm wrong & OutBacks or Foresters make good dinghys, then game over, thats what I want, But The Subi nuts says no, yet they are not RV people & don't ever even think about things like this?
Not sure who else I would ask about it besides the OutBack forums & the parts distributors?
Is there a Info line for the Factory on slightly older Subi's?
We have a '98 Subaru Outback 5 spd that is our toad. Probably have over 10,000 towed miles. This vehicle can be taken off the beaten path to some extant as it has more than adequate ground clearance (about 8"). All Subaru manual transmissions are flat towable with no speed or time constraints. Plus the AWD is there all the time. IIRC, the new 2013 Outback 3.6 can be bought with a manual 5 spd. I'm now trying to talk my wife into getting one.
