Subaru Outback and Escape 15

[medora]

Sadly, we live in SW Michigan so I don't think the test drive is an option for us, sadly ... but we could check into a test tow of another vehicle, if y'all think it would be comparable.

The weird thing is that Tammy indicated that the tongue on the 17A is 350 pounds, but many of the trailers listed on that link Eric sent me are listed lower than that. And that's with a load in them. And most of the loaded trailers are under 2,700, which again seems doable, according to the manufacturer specs.

I'm so new to this that I admit I don't quite understand the physics of it all though, so I'm probably missing something very obvious here.

And you guys are suggesting that the brakes may be an issue even when towing w/in specs, yes?
