Yes, you can tow with a BRZ, but not much. I met a guy who travels with a tiny camp trailer and the setup he has sure beats setting up a tent when the weather is crappy. There are concealed hitches available, however you have a max tow weight of 1,000 lbs. When loading the trailer, the rule of 10 to 15% tongue weight should be observed for stability. Surprisingly, because the BRZ/86 is rear wheel drive, it is better suited for towing than a front drive car. Also, the automatic transmission is better suited for towing. He told me that he has a small utility trailer so between what will fit in the car with the rear seat down and the trailer, a trip to Home Depot is a piece of cake. One thing I just remembered that he said about his utility trailer; he had to upgrade the tires to go over 45mph. When I was a kid, all my worldly possessions could fit in the back seat and boot of my Austin Mini-Cooper. The BRZ now could have done the trick.
