as long as all 4 wheels are on the ground its ok. its only a problem when you lift 2 wheels off the ground and leave 2 on.
if you have no choice but to lift the front wheels and leave the back on the ground, then remove the prop shaft first and you will be fine

DO NOT TOW A SUBARU WITH ANY WHEELS OFF THE GROUND.
The viscous fluid WILL overheat and render the diff useless!
The autos use a clutch pack that will also fry! Removing the fuse will turn off the clutch pack, but the car must be on and in neutral.

Found this on the Subaru web site in FAQ's. This is the thing I've learnt today, I always thought you couldn't tow an AWD. Don't know why I thought that, but never bothered to check either.
AWD Subaru vehicles with manual transmissions can be towed with all four wheels on the ground and the transmission in neutral. STI vehicles with 6 Speed Manual Transmissions can also be towed with all four wheels on the ground and the transmission in neutral. In addition, STI vehicles with 6 Speed Manual Transmissions require that the Driver's Control Center Differential (DCCD) is set in manual mode and the DCCD control dial set to the furthest rearward position.
Please refer to your owner's manual for additional important information on towing vehicles with all four wheels on the ground.
AWD Subaru vehicles with automatic transmission can only be towed with all four wheels OFF of the ground. Therefore, if you are interested in towing a Subaru behind your motorhome, we would suggest purchasing a manual transmission Subaru.
