Subaru Outback 2026 Problems

Subaru’s own specifications for this car quote a 750kg unbraked towing limit and a 2000kg braked limit. That in itself suggests that a 750kg trailer or camper should not tax the driveline in any significant way.

That said, logic suggests that towing any sort of decent load – especially at high speeds or in hot weather – must have some impact on wear and tear, including that of a CVT transmission. However, the Subaru CVT seems a bit tougher than some similar units out there, and if not abused, there should be no problem with what you have planned.

Regular maintenance and sensible driving will be the key to the CVT’s survival, as it is with any aspect of a modern car.
