![]() Yes, I am considering the Forester. I know you and RQ tow with turbo versions, but I would look ONLY at the normally aspirated models because I don't want to pay for the premium octane fuel required for the turbo models. There is a fellow pilot at Truckee (elev. 5,900') who tows his Genesis 2 in a Cobra fiberglass top trailer using a normally aspirated Subaru Forrester. I'm not sure of the vehicle's year but its the generation before the current one, maybe a 2003. He has towed it from sea level and over the Sierra Nevadas without complaints or incident. So I wuold imagine that a Forrester will be more than enough tow vehicle at your elevation. He also likes the car's AWD capability as he lives in the Sierras where it snows heavily during the winters. As an aside, not all AWD systems are equal. Most systems favor FWD and do not engage the rear wheels unitl slippage is detected in the front wheels. Subarus have several versions of AWD depending upon the model but they have continuous AWD in common, always sending power to all four wheels. To see how Subaru AWD compares to the competion see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyLgYskj-oc and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7dVF...elated&search= |
