#2082 of 2084 Towing Capacity Q for a 2002 VDC by fraseronly Jul 30, 2009 (7:47 pm)
Folks, I am interested in a VDC 2002 OB Wagon, can someone confirm what the towing capacity is for that H6 is it 2000 2400 or 3000 ? when does the H6 go up in capacity, I am looking at a 1650lb camping trailer and want to know what my buffer should be. I am considering a trannie fluid cooler too. Anything else I should think about with that much towing. The current one I am looking at has 129k miles on it. When do folks usually change out the chain on the VDC ? thanks for the comments. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jul 31, 2009 7:57 am) rsholland (Jul 31, 2009 8:04 am)

Replying to: fraseronly (Jul 30, 2009 7:47 pm) Let's see if Bob, our resident towing expert, can chime in on what year the ratings went up. I'm sure he'll remind you that with over 1000 lbs you're supposed to have trailer brakes.   I don't think the timing chain has a replacement interval. It should last the life of the engine. Even the belts last 105,000 miles. Replies to this message: rsholland (Jul 31, 2009 8:04 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Jul 31, 2009 7:57 am) Check the owner's manual, as it will be stated in there. My guess is 2000 pounds for a 2002 Outback, and yes, that's if the trailer has brakes.   2005 and later Outback H6s can tow 3000 (H4 2700), but again with that trailer brake restriction.   Bob
