2024 Subaru Forester Towing Capacity & Engine Specs
The 2024 Subaru Forester is offered in six trim levels. Powered by a robust SUBARU BOXER® engine, the Forester provides a smooth and stable Kyle ride, even when towing near its maximum capacity. Its symmetrical all-wheel drive system ensures optimal balance and traction on various terrains. The Subaru Forester Wilderness configuration has a full 3,000 pounds towing capacity compared to all other trims’ 1,500 pounds. This allows you to effortlessly tow small trailers, boats, or campers, making it an ideal companion for both daily tasks around Austin and weekend getaways. See the engine specs below for these SUVs:
- 2.5L SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder engine with Dual Active Valve Control System (DAVCS)
- Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with Adaptive Control and 7-speed (2024 Forester Sport / Limited / Touring) or 8-speed (Forester Wilderness) manual mode
- EPA-estimated fuel economy: 26 mpg city / 33 mpg highway (25 mpg city / 28 mpg highway for 2024 Forester Wilderness)

2024 Subaru Forester Towing Features & Technology
To complement the Subaru Forester towing capacity, the key features of the Forester are equally impressive. The Forester’s frame is designed to be both sturdy and light, ensuring that it can handle loads without compromising fuel efficiency. For example:
- Vehicle Dynamics Control: Monitors brake pressure, steering angle, and wheel speed. If it senses you’ve strayed off course, it will reduce torque and apply brake pressure, setting you back on course.
- Trailer Stability Assist: This system enhances safety by detecting sway and applying individual wheel brakes as necessary, helping to stabilize both your Forester and the trailer.
- Traction Control System: This system is similar to Trailer Stability Assist. It monitors the wheel slippage of your Forester’s axles and modifies torque and brake pressure to improve traction.
- X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control: Tailor your driving experience to the terrain. X-MODE® optimizes engine output and transmission ratios, maximizing tire grip on slippery surfaces, while Hill Descent Control offers added stability when towing on steep declines.
- Active Torque Vectoring: Paired with VDC, this technology works to sharpen turning, increase cornering limits, and create neutral steering.
