watermann Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Friend wants to by a 2011 2.5 Outback like mine and has seen one with about 70,000 miles on it but also a towbar. It's at a dealer so no way of knowing how often or what it has towed. He is nervous about CVT anyway after recently having one in a Nissan Qashqui implode. Should he be concerned ? How robust is the Subaru CVT and can it tolerate towing ? Thanks Watermann, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4eyes Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I've just bought one of these and intend to do a small amount of light towing. It's rated for 1800kg braked and 750kg unbraked. Permanent 4wd helps, but cvt fluid would need changing more regularly if towing alot. I've found mine to be a very smooth vehicle with cvt, but if I was going to do alot of heavy towing, I would have gone diesel manual.
