Want to know more about the Subaru Ascent towing capacity? We're glad you asked! Our team at Prestige Subaru took  a look at the Subaru Ascent, and we're ready to report back with all the information you need on the towing prowess of this great vehicle.

Getting to Know the Subaru Ascent

 Before we dive into the different towing capacities offered by the Subaru Ascent, let's learn a little more about this impressive car. The Subaru Ascent comes in four different trims: the Ascent, the Ascent Premium, the Ascent Limited, and the Ascent Touring.

All the various Subaru Ascent trims come with the same engine, providing  power and control that drivers can't get enough of. The engine is a 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder that gives drivers 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque.

Every version of the Subaru Ascent also comes equipped with the Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission. This allows for a smooth, controlled driving experience-no matter how much recommended weight you may be towing.

Subaru Ascent Towing Capacities

When it comes to towing power, the Subaru Ascent has you covered. The basic model has a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds when properly equipped.

Every other trim-the Ascent Premium, the Ascent Limited, and the Ascent Touring-has more than twice that capability, with a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. That's more than enough power to easily tow motorcycles, assorted off-roading equipment, or whatever gadgets and gear everyone needs to have a great time.

But that's not all that the Subaru Ascent has to offer in terms of towing. Besides an impressive capacity to haul whatever you need, it also comes with a host of features to make towing a total breeze.

Trailer Stability Assist

This great feature can help drivers who are towing heavy loads stay safe under less than ideal circumstances. The system detects any unsafe yaw conditions, and alerts the driver, so they can make corrections. It also can apply the brakes to specific wheels, helping you stay in control at all times.

X-Mode®

For those who want to optimize engine output and transmission ratio, X-Mode® is a great option. It boosts all-wheel drive system engagement and uses an assortment of sensors to help provide you with optimal traction-even on low-friction surfaces. It's just another way Subaru helps keep you-and your payload-safe while out on the road.
