I feel your pain.
I have an ageing outback with the 3.0. It tows 1.2t fine.
i won’t be replacing the car with another outback because of the cvt.
to answer your question - yes it will tow it, but I don’t know how long the cvt will last. On a side note the new 2020 with the turbo has higher towing specs then the 2019 3.6 (American specs anyway)
