I've just read about the new Subaru Liberty and Outback and I must ask why Subaru, unlike so many competitors, has not increased the towing capacity to 2000kg. Having owned two Subarus,I am a real fan but I bought a caravan and tow it with a Ford Territory. It does an excellent job but I would be very tempted if the Outback could do the same. Many caravans are 1800kg-2000kg and I'm sure such an upgrade would increase Subaru sales.

Subaru Australia spokesman David Rowley says: "The tow ratings are set in cooperation with the factory to meet Australian standards, including for the down load rating. The current ratings do not preclude revisions in future model years as technical refinements are always ongoing, but there is no time frame for any possible change, especially given that the new models are only now being introduced."
