Subaru Outback...how well does it tow a sailplane trailer?

I've used my wife's Subaru Outback, 3.6 liter, flat six, auto trans, to tow

my LAK-17a in its LAK-T5 trailer from TSA (Midlothian, TX) to Moriarty, NM

and twice from Moriarty to Jean, NV and back.



So long as the trailer is properly loaded, it tows just fine. Comparing it

to my Ford Edge which, being heavier, tows a bit better, the Subaru gets

much better gas mileage than the Ford (towing or not).



It won't carry as much as one of the giant SUVs but, still, I would

recommend the Subaru.

I'm curious how a late model Subaru Outback handles the load of a

sailplane trailer. I'm looking at a 3.6 liter V6 with auto trans.



If you use an Outback as a tow vehicle, please share your experiences and

detail the motor size, transmission, and towing terrain.



Thanks

Dan - what year Outback does your wife have?
