We tow (four wheels down) a '16 Subaru Forester (manual transmission). We already have some nine thousand miles of successful towing. All Blue Ox equipment are used to tow.
I find the Subaru to be very simple to tow.
1) Unlock the steering wheel,
2) Transmission in neutral,
3) All dashboard items turned off (not to kill the battery),
4) Make sure the Emergency brake is released
Subaru Forester (manual trans) has no towing mile limits per day, no fuses to pull, no required engine starting time after a lengthy tow. The Subaru tows level with the Greyhawk. No additional hitch stuff required (straight tow).
The Forester comes in at 3,300lbs. Seats five people very comfortably, and gets great gas mileage at 30/32.
Now, understand the Forester is not a rock climber, but it's all-wheel drive system works very well in back road conditions, with a clearance height of 8".
All this, in my opinion, makes the Subaru a great tow vehicle.
AND ..... It only cost me $27,000 brand new.
