We are wanting to set up a tow vehicle and our choices are to buy a trailer for our 2019 Subaru Outback as it needs to have all wheels off the ground , or flat tow our 2020 Ram 1500 which can be flat towed . Any of your opinions would be appreciated . Both setups are going to very close to the suggested 5000 lb . The trailer cost will probably be around $2500 more than flat tow bar set up . Thanks for the input in advance Land-Yacht Bruce Brown • View posts Northern NY Moderator Joined: 06/01/2001 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Posted: 10/24/20 07:31pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator The problem with a trailer is you have a third thing to park when you arrive. Flat towing doesn't have that issue. There are 24 hours in every day - it all depends on how you choose to use them.

Another solution would be to trade that nice Outback for something else you might like and flat tow it. Flat towing is simple. Deciding what to flat tow is hard. Best to you in your decision.
