Question:

Subaru dealer told me that the 2021 Crosstrek Manual Tranny is not flat tow able, and will void warranty. Do I need to look for a used 2019?

Expert Reply:

The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek (manual transmission only) can be flat-towed with all four wheels down per the owner's manual. If you wish to do so you'll need to obtain a few different items for this. I have listed these for you below.

Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-52927-5
Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit part # RM-154
Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System part # BLU37TR
Roadmaster 12 Volt Outlet Kit part # RM-9332
Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar part # RM-676

If you wish to confirm flat-tow compatibility with a different year or model you'd simply need to look in the online version of that vehicles owner's manual.
