Visitors to Blaise Alexander Subaru of Lewiston often wonder what the Subaru Ascent towing capacity is. We’ve got the answer down below, as well as other towing features available on this latest SUV.
What Is the Towing Capacity of the 2023 Subaru Ascent?
The 2023 Subaru Ascent has five trim levels: Base, Premium, Onyx, Limited, and Touring. Each trim comes standard with a 2.4-liter DOHC turbocharged Subaru BOXER® engine that delivers 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque.

What Other Towing Features Are Available?
Raw towing strength isn’t the only benefit of the 2023 Subaru Ascent. These towing features give it an edge over other vehicles:
- Active Torque Vectoring: Standard on all trims, this works alongside the vehicle’s dynamic control system for better handling and turning — even when hauling a heavy load.
- Trailer Stability Assist: Standard on all trims, this applies brakes to specific wheels when the vehicle detects dangerous shifts in your trailer. This helps regain balance and prevents a rollout.
- Class III Trailer Hitch: This additional hitch accessory is available for all trims.
