Features that Enhance Forester Towing Capacity

The 2021 Subaru Forester standard features have wide-ranging implications on its performance:

• Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC): From wheel speed to brake pressure, and even steering angle, this system uses sensors to monitor and respond to a plethora of vehicle systems. VDC will even apply the brakes or reduce torque to correct the trajectory of your Forester if required.
• Active Torque Vectoring: Neutral steering, sharper turns, and increased cornering limits are the result of this system working with the VDC system in your Forester.
• Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive: Balances power distribution between the wheels for refined and safe performance over Monterey and Watsonville area roads.
• Traction Control: Uses VDC for an all-wheel, all-speed traction control system by sensing and responding to even the slightest loss of traction and applying braking force to (the) wheel(s) that is (are) slipping.
• Trailer Stability Assist: It senses unsafe conditions and applies the brakes to the necessary wheels to help the driver maintain control.

For even smoother towing over Scotts Valley and Santa Cruz roads, trust Subaru X-MODE® and Hill Descent Control. X-MODE® decreases wheel spin and increases overall traction no matter the weather or road conditions. Hill Descent Control, on the other hand, helps you maintain a constant speed while driving downhill.
