Subaru Ascent towing 4,400 pounds
The cart before the horse theory, I guess. My soon to be SIL bought a new Subaru Ascent. Then he went out and bought a 4,400 lbs non-slide trailer. My first though was "A four banger towing a trailer?" Well, the specs say it can. He did. I asked how it felt. He said it was light on the front end. Okay....I got a WD hitch sitting in the garage toy can have. A few days later, he gets back to me. WD cannot be used on this uni-body car. Wutcha gonna do now? Hmmm....Maybe that 1999 F250 7.3 diesel truck you have sitting in the driveway can tow it? Better safe than sorry. He just didn't want his 2 precious labs to be uncomfortable in the back of the truck. Forget about the safety of my 2 10 year old grand twins.
