Top 15 SUVs for Towing

15. Subaru Outback

With a higher frame than other vehicles of a similar size, the 2015 Subaru Outback offers extra headroom for taller passengers and some more shoulder room. This sporty crossover SUV also makes for a nice little hauler with a 3,000 towing capacity. The 3.6-liter flat-6 engine gives 256 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque which is considerably less than other larger SUVs. The addition of permanent four wheel drive and a good 8.7 inches of ground clearance ensures that the Outback can get out on the trails. Drivers can also opt for Automatic or CVT, but alas no manual. Up to five passengers can ride in the Outback with a bit over 73 cubic feet of room for cargo.
