Just How Capable is the 2023 Subaru Forester?

By now, most Sioux Falls drivers know that the 2023 Subaru Forester comes standard with all-wheel drive. What not everyone realizes, however, is that AWD is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to capability.

Most versions of the Forester can tow 1,500 pounds when properly equipped. If you choose the new Forester Wilderness, however, that number jumps up to 3,000 pounds. The Wilderness model is also given all-terrain tires, a skid plate, a raised suspension, and a transmission oil cooler to help you out on your next adventure.

A peppy 2.5L four-cylinder engine comes standard for every 2023 Forester, allowing the SUV to create 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. All models also have a continuously variable transmission to boost both smoothness and efficiency. At Schulte Subaru, we love that most Forester models are capable of giving you up to 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.
