I tow a 2016 Forester with a manual transmission. I also tow it with the ignition switch off and key left in the ignition which means the steering lock is unlocked (Does not lock until you pull the key out). I have made many trips with my longest trip being to the east coast and back from Iowa with absolutely no problems at all. I hear all the stories about it cannot be done, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
