What???
[I usually don't comment on these forums, but there's so much misinformation in the original post, I cannot help myself.
1. Subaru has not approved flat towing ANY of its vehicles for several years.
2. It is not necessary to "gut" the interior to install the rear lights on the toad. My professional installer ran the wires underneath the car and zip-tied them in place. No problems in 4 years and 25,000 miles towing.
3. Any towed vehicle in California that weighs more than 1500 lbs requires a brake assist.
