[font size="4"][font face="trebuchet ms"]We're looking to purchase a QS 6.0 in the next month or two.  Downsizing from a Viking popup.  Looking forward to reading through the threads to get tips!

If buying used, good luck in your search. I located mine at a Fla. dealer.Do you know your tow capacity on your Forester? It appears the manual trans model is 2400lbs. You might want to consider an 8.0 or an 8.1 if you have that much tow capacity. Having a 6.0, I would love to have the extra space of an 8.

Welcome. The 6.0 is an interesting little trailer. I am in a little 4cyl Jeep Wrangler and the 6.0 is what first got me into looking at the LL's. I would have even considered an 8.0 with the Jeep if I was careful. But luckily the stars aligned and we found a great deal on a used 10.0 after we upgraded one of our vehicles to a Honda Pilot. For us its a perfect match, but I still think about how great it would have been with the 6.0 lifted being towed behind the Jeep.

Good luck on your search and dont hesitate to ask any questions. This is a great group with a ton of information.
