Questions people ask

How much can a Subaru Legacy 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 Legacy?

A hitch doesn't create a rating. Without one from Subaru, there is no trailer weight the Legacy is rated to pull — check your owner's manual before fitting one.
