Welcome, Patricia,
We have had our 2007 T@B (Silver with Yellow trim, Queen bed), for about 4 years now, and towed it with a 2007, 4-cylinder Subaru Outback for the first three years with no particular problem. It was a little slow on steeper hills, but we could usually keep up to 45 or 50 mph on hills, 60mph+ on the level. Mileage was in the 19 to 22 miles per gallon range on the level, down to 10-12 on hills. We now have a 2010, 6 cylinder Outback, and find it very comfortable, with a bigger gas tank allowing a longer range.
We LOVE our T@B! Have driven in the Bighorn Mts. Yellowstone NP and the Tetons of Wyoming, across country, and in Newfoundland and Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
Enjoy!
Sue in VT
