2016 Suburu Forester NOT listed as Dingby?
I was under the impression that the Forester with the manual transmission was flat towable?

"Thank you for contacting Subaru of America, Inc. We appreciate your interest in the 2016 Forester.
The best way to transport a Subaru vehicle is a flatbed tow truck with ALL wheels off the ground.
We recommend that an owner follow the precautions and recommendations outlined in the Owner's Manual, if flat towing with all wheels on the ground is unavoidable in an emergency situation. "
My question was, "Is the Forester suitable for towing by an RV?"
This answer, while not saying "no, definitely not", sure doesn't say "yes".
based on this answer I would be reluctant to buy a Subaru for dingy use since that would not be emergency use.
