In this overview, Star Subaru will address this question so you can prepare your 2025 Forester for upcoming summer road trips and more. Check out this brief guide about the towing capacity of the Forester, and contact us if you have any questions.
Before diving into towing figures, let’s briefly touch on some basic engine specs. The 2025 Subaru Forester runs on a 2.5L SUBARU BOXER® engine that comes with standard AWD and is paired with either a Lineartronic® CVT or a Lineartronic® CVT with 8-speed manual mode. The latter transmission is only available on the Forester Sport trim and up and enables a more hands-on driving experience. Basic engine specs vary across the lineup:
As a compact crossover SUV built on a unibody chassis, the 2025 Subaru Forester is a fairly small and lightweight vehicle, which limits how much it can tow on Whitestone roads. When fully and correctly equipped, the 2025 Subaru Forester towing capacity maxes out at 1,500 pounds. This doubles to 3,000 pounds if you choose to go with the off-road-focused Forester Wilderness trim.
Finally, here are a few items you might be able to tow based on the towing capacity of the Forester. With a 1,500-pound towing capacity and a single-axle utility trailer, you may be able to tow:
On the other hand, the rugged Wilderness trim with double the towing capacity of the rest of the 2025 Subaru Forester lineup will greatly expand your trailering options. With it, you may be able to tow:
Before you start towing anything through Beechhurst, make sure you thoroughly review your owner’s manual. Always make sure that your Forester is fully and correctly equipped with a trailer hitch that is appropriate for it, and never tow beyond the GVWR of your vehicle. You can find GVWR information in your owner’s manual or on the Safety Compliance Certification Label that is usually located on the inside of the driver’s side door.
Contact our parts and service center if you have any questions. If you need one, you can find and purchase a trailer hitch from our parts and service center, and one of our factory-trained professionals will install it for you.
