Wow, this is weird. I was just thinking all week about getting a 2000 Subaru Outback for my commuter car and thinking if it would tow my Clack and trailer.

My 4 Runner does great but the gas is TERRIBLE! I spend roughly $300+ on gas alone and $100+ a day if I go Steelheading to my favorite rivers.

Hmmm, didn't know that the Subaru Outback had that much towing capacity. Betcha' the LL Bean 3.0 V6 Outback would do it without sweating. But don't know if I would like to trade my 4Runner in for a V6 3.0 Outback just for gas sake.

Good luck and you shouldn't have a problem with they type of hitch for your Outback. Get the highest rating so you don't have to worry if its strong enough or not. Try to get a full body cover for your boat, it will make all the difference driving through canyons,etc. with all the wind. I have the heavy-duty Clacka cover and it works wonders in wind!

Good luck!
