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


I have a 4 cylinder 2003 legacy and have towed my glider both locally
and on longer trips such as from CT to Virginia (Newcastle) with no
problems. It tows great, plenty of power for the job. I have a manual
transmission.
