Towing capacity
Why does the towing capacity vary so much in the specs sheets of the Forester, Outback and Element?
Answer from Auto123.com
Several factors influence the towing capacity of a vehicle. The power of the engine, the transmission ratios, the weight of the vehicle, chassis geometry, the type of suspension, cooling system, etc. Furthermore, it is recommended that you use a vehicle whose capacity is greater than the actual need. This way its limits are not constantly pushed.
