Question:
I could not find anything mentioned in the Subaru Crosstrek owners manual that it can be flat towed. Do you have this and could share it with me?

Expert Reply:
Your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek manual transmission can be flat towed (4 wheels on the ground). On page 398 of your owner's manual, you can reference how Subaru requires you to do this.
That being said, to be able to successfully flat tow your vehicle, you're going to need a couple of things.
You'll need:
-A Base Plate # RM-52927-5.
-A Tow Bar # RM-676.
-A Braking System # HM39524.
-A 12v Outlet Kit # RM-9332.
-& A Wiring Kit # RM-154.
In most cases you're also going to need a high-low adapter to ensure your tow vehicle is level with your motorhome.
I have linked an article for you to check out as well, that explains how you can determine the correct high-low adapter needed for your vehicle.
