Trailer Hitch and Towing Capacity for 2010 Subaru Forester
Question:
What is the towing capacity of a 2010 Subaru Forester
asked by: Tom
Expert Reply:
From the research I did it looks like your 2010 Subaru Forester has a 2,400 lb towing capacity. You will need to check your owners manual to verify this as well though.
The trailer hitches we offer for your vehicle have capacities that are quite a bit higher than that like the Draw Tite hitch part # 75650 but you would have to go by the lower vehicle weight capacity since you are only as strong as your weakest link in a towing capacity. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you then would want the part # 118467 which is a confirmed fit as well.
