Subaru Ascent Towing Capacity
The Subaru Ascent is an SUV built for families that are constantly going from one activity to the next. Part of its capabilities includes being able to bring your gear and transport items that you need to take with you as you head out on the roads of Lumberton, Mount Laurel, and Medford, New Jersey.
That is because the Subaru Ascent has a towing capacity that reaches up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. Below, our Miller Subaru team shares with you what you’ll be able to tow with the Ascent and the ways it will help you confidently cruise along as you tow.
What Can You Tow with the Subaru Ascent?
As we mentioned, the Subaru Ascent can be configured to tow a maximum of 5,000 pounds. That is in part thanks to the power its 2.4L turbocharged SUBARU BOXER®4-cylinder engine generates.
What exactly does having a 5,000-pound towing capacity mean? Let’s look at some of the possible items you’ll be able to tow with the Ascent:

Added Safety Measures While Towing
In many different ways, the Subaru Ascent is built to help you stay safe and feel at ease while driving. Among its various safety features, there are even some that specifically will help when you will be towing.
Your Ascent is constantly monitoring present driving situations and is able to adjust and adapt to keep you in control as you drive. That includes when towing thanks to standard Trailer Stability Assist. When needed, this system can automatically apply the brakes to help maintain the stability of your vehicle and whatever you are pulling along behind your Ascent.
The Subaru Ascent also comes with a Rear-Vision Camera. While this helps you safely back out of your driveway or parking spot, it also can be used to help when hitching your trailer.

More Cargo Capabilities of the Subaru Ascent
Towing is just one of the ways you can carry equipment and supplies with your Subaru Ascent. If you are moving furniture on your trailer to your new home, you can pack up the interior of your Ascent with boxes of clothing and kitchen items to limit the number of trips you need to make.
When you fold down all the rear seats, you’ll have up to 75.6 cubic feet of cargo volume in the back of your Ascent. Let’s say you are towing your camper or your jet skis instead. To also bring along your bikes, surfboards, or just everyone’s luggage for the trip, you can pack that gear on top of your Subaru Ascent. Thanks to its standard roof rails, you can easily attach various accessories to the roof of this Subaru and keep the cabin roomy for you, your spouse, and the kids!
