Asked by Alan Paxman
I am thinking of buying a new Subaru Forester 2.5 with the CVT transmission and I would like to know if the transmission is up to towing a small caravan around Australia. I currently own a 2005 auto and this has been fine towing my van, but I'm not sure about the CVT.
Answered by CarsGuide
15 Nov 2013The Forester with CVT transmission is rated to tow 1500kg, but you also need to make sure you stay within the maximum weight limit for the car. Provided you are within those limits you shouldn't have any trouble with the CVT.
