Re: 2009 Subaru Outback PZEV - Hauling Options
I tow a A128s with a 152 HP 4 cylinder. Your Subaru will easily pull the camper you are looking at. It will easily tow a 10ft box tent camper too. I have had one for many years. You don't need a v8 to tow these campers. The camper you are looking at will have brakes so you will need to install a controller.471Views0likes0CommentsRe: XC Trip with Tent Trailer?
I agree with slowp. Check out the aframes. We have the Rockwood A128s and love it. I can set it up in less than 1 minute so stopping for a break is not an issue. The A128s is almost as easy to tow as our tent camper but does weigh about 500lbs more. It has alot more stuff on it though. I tow mine with a Nissan frontier pickup with a 152hp 4 cylinder and get 19.5 to 21mpg on a regular basis. This model has a large storage area on the front and all the other storage areas have outside access. I think you will find the Scamp and Casita easy to tow also but they do weight around 3000 empty as I recall. So many choices and so little vacation......385Views0likes0CommentsRe: Is my Ford Escape worthless for fullfilling my dream? :-(
I have a 2004 escape that I bought new. It is rated at 3500 towing. It will do that easily. That being said I tow flat trailers and don't have to deal with all the wind resistance. I tow 2500 and it can hardly tell that it is there. About 90% of the time I am in overdrive. I do live in the flatlands. I have had a much as 500lbs tongue weight with a motorcycle carrier.357Views0likes0Comments
