Default towing a sailplane trailer / vehicle

Hello all. I am looking to buy a new vehicle, mainly for work related
reasons. Something like an AWD Subaru Outback would be perfect for
work.

So I'm wondering what you all have to say about towing my sailplane
trailer with a Subaru Outback, which is a 4 cylinder vehicle. That's
the issue I need answered. Would a 4 cylinder do the job? Or would it
tear up the transmission.

I don't want a lager vehicle for MPG reasons.

Thanks, Ryan


My son uses an Outback as a tow car and it works just fine.
No issue with transmission if used properly.
With 4 cylinders, ya gotta stay in the right gear, then it's fine.
