Who is towing a Subaru Forester 4 down?
Who is towing a 2018 Subaru Forester with a manual transmission 4 down? What base plate and brake system are you using? How easy is the Forester to tow?

Towing '09 5-speed Forester for over 20k miles without issue. Think 2016 is when Subaru of America changed their policy regarding towing - now don't recommend it at all. Other forums have also had this discussion - no one seems to be aware of any physical changes to prevent this, but you are on your own (no warranty) if you do it... We use NSA ReadyBrute towbar with integrated surge brake - works great - no power drain to toad, lighter, no box to store, less pricey, easy hookup. Blue Ox baseplate. Apparently Blue Ox does make baseplates for 2018 models, too...
