2002 Subaru Forester Towing Capacity
The 2002 Subaru Forester has a listed towing capacity of 2,000 lb. This figure is the towing rating shown for this model year in the available facts; it does not specify a separate rating by trim, engine, or equipment.
Treat the listed amount as a reference, not a guarantee that every Forester configuration can tow that load in every situation. The facts cover only the 2002 model year and provide one figure, so they do not show a change between trims or engines. They also do not provide other limits or conditions that may apply to a particular vehicle.
For the towing rating that applies to your specific Forester, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual. Check those sources before towing, especially if your vehicle's trim, engine, or equipment differs from the version represented by the listed figure.
