I have a camper. It weighs 12
I have a camper. It weighs 12,000 pounds. I have a real truck to pull it. I didn't buy the Forester to haul a heavy trailer or camper. Great job of building a tempest in a teapot. The Forester is a great vehicle. It serves my needs very well. Had I needed a heavier truck, I would have bought one. As for the competition or other models having higher weight ratings, I wouldn't want to push that too far, I think you might be disappointed in real world performance. If not, buy something you like better. I'm gonna keep my Forester.
