How much can a Subaru Impreza tow?
Subaru publishes no towing rating for it: "Your vehicle is neither designed nor intended to be used for trailer tow- ing. Therefore, never tow a trailer with your vehicle."
Can I add a hitch to the Impreza?
A hitch doesn't create a rating. Without one from Subaru, there is no trailer weight the Impreza is rated to pull — check your owner's manual before fitting one.
