My uncle has a 5speed legacy wagon with a 2.2, about a 1995. Any idea how much this sucker can tow? He wants to get a popup, and already has a hitch. Thanks!

You have given very little information. Get more information, then visit www.hitch-web.com

If it's a 1995 Subaru 4 Wheel Drive Legacy L Wagon 5 Door, then the tow rating is 3500lb with a 300lb tongue rating.

What more info do you need? It's green? Has wind up windows? Was originally bought in PA? I don't know any other details.... Thanks for the help though.

Had some friends roast their trans. on a '99 Forester pulling a popup. They tore up the diff. bearings. Just make sure it has some high quality trans. oil and load'r up.

Small popups are super light.

That said.. i still wouldnt tow it if the suby was auto. Since it's not, you're probably safe. Remember, load on the drivetrain doesnt come from the trailer, it comes from the engine. Many people i think do not realize this. As long as you are NICE to it, it won't be affected.
