In addition to engine power, the tow vehicle must have sufficient suspension, braking power, and weight to not let the "trailer tail wag the dog," so to speak. Plus, be sure to invest in a good, anti-sway, weight distribution hitch. Look at some of those "trailer sway" videos on YouTube to see what I'm talking about. I find my F-150 easily handles my Passport ML199, which has about the same GVW rating as your Outback. I don't think I'd want to tow with anything much smaller. Just my .02 worth

We wanted to upgrade to the Explorer, but those are maxed at 5,000 lbs towing.
We're going to look at this tomorrow.
