2024 Subaru Ascent Towing Capacity

Towing capacity for every 2024 Subaru Ascent trim, sourced from Subaru's official 2024 towing guide. Select your trim below to see exact specs.

The 2024 Ascent offers six trims, all powered by the same 2.4L turbocharged four-cylinder with standard AWD. The Base and Premium are rated at 2,000 lbs, which limits them to very light loads. The Onyx Edition, Limited, Onyx Edition Limited, and Touring all include the tow package and are rated at 5,000 lbs.

Curb weight ranges from 4,421 lbs (Base) to 4,590 lbs (Touring), a spread of only 169 lbs across the lineup. This tight range means trim choice has minimal impact on towing margin once you have the tow package. The heavier Touring still maintains the 5,000 lb rating because the tow package's cooling and hitch hardware are the limiting factors, not the engine or curb weight.

For the best towing value, the Onyx Edition at 4,533 lbs includes the tow package standard and is typically priced below the Limited and Touring. If you are buying specifically for towing capability, there is no reason to move upmarket from the Onyx unless you want the interior features of a higher trim.
