ObedB, thanks for responding. I will probably go ahead and fit the car with a base plate and tow it. Just that I thought I had it all ready to go and Subaru threw me a curve. The email I got from Subaru is pretty clear. I'm not sure they get to change there mind, unless they want to buy my car back. I wondered about the battery issue, the email says to turn the key to the accessory setting and put it in neutral and I should be good to go. I will research that before we hit the road. Thanks again Jsc

I just bought a new 2015 Subaru Crosstrek with manual transmission a month ago. I bought it to tow behind my motorhome and only bought it after conformation from Subaru that it was towable 4 wheels down. I am having the baseplate installed next week so we can get on the road with it last of May. I just saw the notice in FMCA magazine and now I am unsure what to do. I just wrote Subaru to try and get some more information. I attempted to attach the email Subaru sent me but I am not sure it worked. I guess I don't really have a question I just find this incredibly frustrating. RE_ (SR #_1-14174822160) General Inquiries.eml

Thanks Bill, I guess I need to find a way to contact Subaru directly to find out. Not sure why it has to be such a pain in the back side to find a car to tow. Seems like the car companies could recognize this as opportunity to sell more cars.

I just returned from a trip to a Subaru dealer where I was set to buy a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. We really wanted this car to tow behind our motorhome. I asked the salesman to check for sure that it was towable and he came back to tell me that it isn't. Every where I look says the car is towable if it is a manual transmission. I'm not sure I believe the guy. Anyone have any experience with something like this?
