Subaru very often win Tow Vehicle of the Year here in Europe for towing caravans and so on.
If you are looking at only one vehicle to replace a flatbed truck, I would advise against an estate. I had two Legacy Twin Turbo estates, they would haul tree stumps, but you wreck the interior with rough stuff inside. For one vehicle only towing a trailer, you need a Forester 2.5 manual. Joe

from what i know,
Legacy = 2.2 L Outback = 2.5L (and optional H6 3.0), higher gound clearence...however older outbacks (96-99) have some head gasket problems, so be weary!

Gen2 2.5 DOHC Gen 3 2.5 DOHC and 3.0(180hp about and 25ish MPG) gen 4 2.5 both DOHC and SOHC and they redid the 6 to a 3.0R with 250HP lighter also with 28ish MPG (had bad responces from people on the under powered over weighted 3.0 of the 2002-04) I would suggest with all this you factor you could find a Baja get a rally suspension if you wanted and even pick up a 3.0R for like 3k and then you have a nice 250Hp tower that you don't have to worry about messing up the insides. Or just got pick up a beater 4x4 for 1000 that won't ever get stuck(cept at the pump. for trucks tend ton get like 10-15mpg with out getting like a brand new one.

I've seen a mid 80's Volvo station wagon fitted with a Chevy V8 that could haul or pull quite a bit. This guy had less than $1000 in it and was built like a tank.
