A transmission cooler is not necessarily mandatory for towing, but you will definitely want to check your owners manual to see if there are any stipulations from Subaru saying a cooler is required.
You will sometimes see that the vehicle manufacturer requires a transmission cooler be installed for towing purposes, just to retain the vehicle warranty.
The Derale Transmission cooler # D13502 would be a good choice for your 2009 Subaru Forester. It would work well for your application,... view full answer...
If you want to relocate your license plate while using the spare tire carrier the only option would be to make one. You could mount the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light w/ Bracket # LPL55CB on the carrier.
Then for power, you can use a trailer end connector like the # HM48110 to power the light on the license plate bracket. If you don't already have a 4-way you would also need the # 118467. The black wire on the light will connect to the brown wire which is the running lights,... view full answer...

Towing also requires a ball mount, hitch ball and wiring harness. I suggest our ball mount kit... view full answer...
The factory-installed roof rack crossbars on the latest Subaru Foresters are fairly large and some older roof-mount accessories may not fit without an adapter like their Universal MightyMounts # Y03590. My contact at Yakima advised that some 1980's-era rack-mount accessory items will indeed be compatible with the Universal MightyMounts but others will not be.
The linked instructions for the kit include listings for the various carriers that will be compatible and they show the manner... view full answer...

There is a steel crossmember in the base plate kit # 909-9. It is listed in the instructions I will sent to you as part A. These base plates are custom designed to fit a 1999 Subaru Forester with no brushguard. Consult your owners manual for the proper towing procedures for your Forester. In my research I found that the models with a manual transmission can be flat towed without modification to the vehicle but automatic transmission models must be towed on a trailer only.

A complete flat towing setup requires a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter.
For your 2015 Subaru Forester I recommend going with the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-52923-4. This pairs very nicely with the Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 and Safety Cables # RM-643 which are both rated for 6,000 lbs.

I do have a solution for you and you are correct that the Roadmaster Tow Defender # RM-4700 is not compatible with the Roadmaster # 921-3 base plates, since those are direct-connect base plates in the MX series. The series/model of the base plate is listed at the bottom of the product page with the Roadmaster part number, but it is a bit difficult to find if you're not specifically aware it's there-so we do apologize for the confusion.
With that said, you can use the Roadmaster Tow Defender... view full answer...

The 2014 Subaru Forester came with three different roof options. Your Forester could have a bare roof, factory raised side rails that run front to back or a factory roof rack with crossbars. If your Forester has a factory roof rack with crossbars, then you will not need additional crossbars... view full answer...
