Can I tow an Airstream with a Subaru Outback?

How heavy is a pop up camper?

Larger pop up campers that come with a kitchen sink can weigh well over a ton (or 2,000 pounds), while the most spartan pop up campers weigh only around 600 pounds empty.

An equalizing hitch or weight distribution can sometimes increase the capacity of the receiver hitch, but the vehicle manufacturers stated towing capacity or rating will always be the final determination of how much the vehicle can tow. Any towing system will only be as strong as its lowest rated component.

Most of these vehicles won’t make it to the top of any fuel economy lists any time soon, but boy, can they tow.

In short, an average camper trailer weighs around 5,200 pounds (2,350 kilos) dry weight, which means the weight of the trailer when its tanks are not filled and it has no gear in it. You can expect to add 1,500 pounds (680 kilos) of gear and water to that number to get a “real world” example.

Here’s a lighter-weight alternative. The Happier Camper is a different kind of pull-behind. At just 1,100 pounds, you can tow it behind a lot of small cars, including the Subaru Outback, which has a towing capacity of 2,700 pounds. (Shoot, even some Ford Fusions can tow this trailer.)

Yes, almost every Subaru model that you can buy today comes equipped standard with the automaker’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system (only the rear-driven BRZ does not). However, you may not know that not all Symmetrical AWD systems are created equal.

The 2013 XV Crosstrek is a brand-new nameplate in the Subaru lineup and looks to make a name for itself in the small-SUV segment by way of impressive fuel economy, stylish sheetmetal and go-anywhere capability.

The models built at that factory are the Outback, Legacy, and Tribeca. All other models (Impreza, WRX, WRX-STI, Forester, XV Crosstrek, and BRZ) are built in the Ota, Gunma, Japan factory. Currently, Subaru builds about 200,000 cars in Indiana, and about 600,000 in Japan.
