Question:
can you flat tow a 2017 crosstrek without a costly option?
asked by: Gene H
Expert Reply:
If your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek has an automatic transmission then no, it cannot be flat-towed with four wheels down. It must instead be towed on a trailer with all four wheels off the ground. However, if your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek has a manual transmission then yes, it can be flat-towed with four wheels down. That said, flat-towing setups are not exactly cost effective which is something to bear in mind but I have attached for you below a list of cost effective flat-towing parts you can use on a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek.
