Can Manual Transmission 2023 Subaru Crosstrek be Towed with Dolly

Published 10/04/2023

Question:

I have a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek with a manual transmission. I understand it can be flat towed but want to also make sure it can be dolly towed. The manual does not specify. Do you know? Also, if so I assume it needs to be in neutral and the key can be out / ignition off as the steering can / should be locked. Please confirm before I purchase a dolly. Thanks,

I checked the owners manual of your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek and only the AWD models can't be towed with a tow dolly so as long as your manual transmission model ISN'T AWD you'd be fine to use a dolly like the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1.

You'd need gear selector in neutral with the key in the off position so that the steering wheel would be locked.
