I have a 05 forester 2.5x. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to pull a jumping jack trailer with their forester. They weigh about 1500 lbs so I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to try and go up canyons with that much weight.

It's been a long time since I posted and I see some familiar faces. My '06 is coming off 3 yr. warranty. What do you advise? TIA

Replying to: jeqq (Dec 16, 2008 8:05 pm) Given the tough economic times we all face now it’s probably best to maintain an ownership position in your 06 if it still suites your needs. My 03 X just turned 90K miles and I believe still runs good as new with no problems. Next stop 190K. All scheduled maintenance is tended to with little out of pocket expense to me as I use Subaru Bucks from our Chase Subaru Master Card to cover the bigger 30K incremental major services. |

Replying to: paisan (Dec 20, 2008 5:47 am) I sold my 98 Forester in 2007 because I needed a large vehicle (minivan), but we missed it enough that we just bought a 2009. Some times I wish I'd kept it, but resale was strong and we like the new one just as much. Towing - I've hauled a 700 lb trailer with 2 yards of pea gravel, which is super-heavy. My guess is it was 1500 lbs, but it may have been more. To be honest I'd be more concerned about stopping, not climbing hills. You may want to consider trailer brakes of some kind.

Replying to: xwesx (Dec 24, 2008 10:27 am) I usually get 3 yards, but that's wood chips or mulch. This was the first time I hauled pea gravel. It sure was HEAVY. I had to do half wheelbarrow loads to be able to transport it properly. At least the stuff lasts a lot longer than mulch does. Still looks good 3 years later, all over my back yard landscaping. |
