There was a Smart Car pulling out of a parking spot the other day as I was walking up to the credit union and I noted it might be the same couple who were driving around here a few years back in a GEM car. I don't need to pull anything but I don't think Subaru has ever had anything that could pull something. Does your Outback do that? My nephew liked my Forester when I bought and wanted one but had to pull his daughter's horse trailer around so wound up with a big Ford SUV which he recently sold. Some friends had a Forester and a Honda SUV but had to sell the Forester which they liked better because they couldn't tow it behind their RV which they now live in and tour the country. I've driven their Honda and it wasn't a bad ride. The Outback is rated to tow up to 2,000 lbs. We have a trailer hitch on ours and tow a camping popup weighing 1,000 lbs with no problem.
