WHOO-HOO! Welcome to the Club! You won't regret it, not one bit! I'm going to guess that the extra-stiff suspension had a reason, so have a look under the rear bumper. There's probably a trailer hitch there, or a slot for one.

If there isn't, GET ONE! You will never regret having a good, strong trailer hitch on your Subaru. It really expands so many options! Boat trailer, moving trailer, equipment trailer, and just plain hauling someone out of a snow bank.

The wiring harness is so easy, even a Marine can do it. It's literally plug & play, the Forester is designed to accept it.

Some things you will never regret having in the boot:

Tow strap
Tow chains (for attaching the strap)
A small, 12v air pump
Pen-type tire pressure gauge
Tubeless tire repair kit (worth it's weight in gold)
German folding shovel with leather carrier (The tri-fold and US models are crap)
Strong, sharp hunting knife, or an auto extractor tool (http://www.houdinitool.com/).
Roll of duct tape
1 Pair of ratchet straps

I also have a fire extinguisher, but I carry that in the back seat, just behind the driver's seat. If I carry passengers, I move it to the back. I just recently found a 20lb extinguisher at a pawn shop and paid only 20 bucks for it! They retail for $150! It fits right behind my seat, good and snug.
