If you’re looking for an Outback to carry kayaks, camping gear or a small trailer, take a closer look at the 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness. It won the Best Off-Road Warrior title in the 2027 Buzz Awards. The award year can be easy to mix up with the model year. The editors chose the redesigned 2026 Wilderness. See the HotCars award.
Can the 2026 Outback Wilderness tow a small trailer?
Subaru rates the 2026 Wilderness to tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. If you’re planning to tow a small boat or a gear trailer out of Delray or Boynton Beach, start with the trailer’s loaded weight, including the gear you take along. Bring that number when you shop and ask us to check hitch equipment and the applicable towing limits for the vehicle you’re considering. See Subaru’s 2026 Wilderness features.
What should you check before you buy?
- Loading your gear. Try the liftgate and fold the rear seats. If you use a kayak carrier or roof box, confirm the crossbars and mounts your setup needs.
- Driving away from pavement. Ask for a walk-through of the Wilderness’s dual-function X-MODE. It has a setting for snow and dirt and a separate setting for deep snow and mud.
- Choosing a model year. Compare an available 2026 with the exact 2027 configuration you want. We expect the first 2027 Outbacks in December 2026. Ask our Delray team about Wilderness availability and timing before making plans.
