I'm confused about the towing capacity numbers. In North America, it's 1,500 pounds, but in Australia and the UK, it's much higher at 1,500 kilograms. The difference lies in whether the trailer has its own brakes. Australia reports the weight the car can tow with trailer brakes, while North America reports the weight without.
This suggests the Outlander is strong enough to pull a heavy load, but you need to be careful when stopping. It also makes me feel better about my plan to tow a heavier load for short distances at low speeds.
In Australia, while Mitsubishi says the Outlander can tow 1,600 kilograms, the law limits unbraked trailers to 750 kilograms. This is very similar to the North American limit.
