Good news - my Rogue with a towing capacity of 1102 lbs, towed my M15 some 90 miles, with no problems. No overheating, no problems going up hills, no problems braking. It was a bare-bones tow - left the boom and rudder/tiller and most of the gear at home. Its a cvt (continuous variable transmission), with an option to downshift to lower gears. I generally drove in speed 5 on hills, and speed 6 on flat areas and down hill. No problems, gratefully. Thanks to all for advice and suggestions.

Rusty: I used to own Vanilla and towed her with a 2001 Forester, no problem. Also towed an M17 with a 2004 Forester with turbo for about 10,000 miles. No problem. Glad Vanilla is getting some use. Enjoy! GARY ~~~~_/) ~~~~ Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. Injustice anywhere threatens justice everywhere.

I just had my Subie oil changed and had them check my brake fluid, all was perfect after towing a half dozen times or so this year. The dealer assured me the transmission would have no issues so I?m feeling a little more at ease towing my M-15 Vanilla wherever I want to go.
