Hello I am new to all this please can I ask someone about towing my small 2 berth caravan I have a forester 2.5xt automatic am I ok to yow the van in automatic mode

It should be fine for towing a small caravan but be aware that auto transmissions can overheat if you're driving up hills non-stop - so that's Devon off the cards then :-)

Using an enhanced Trans Oil Cooler would improve this so a 'fit and forget' solution
