Welcome to the site..
Hello, I am 99% the answer is no.
I just purchased a 2009 Forester with a manual transmission. From everything I investigated it looks like a automatic can not be pulled four down no matter the modification.
Are you totally against the manual transmission?

I have an '04 Subaru Forester AWD with 5 speed manual. I can flat tow mine. When I was looking for a Subaru I found that ANY automatic transmission Subaru can't be flat towed or towed on a dolly. The only answer with your AT Outback is a trailer.

I recently went thru a search to find out about towing a Subaru 4 down. I finally found a website for Foresters and it answered my question as well as pointing me to the Subaru main site. The official word from Subaru is you can tow a manual transmission 4 down but not the automatic. The only way to tow the auto is on a trailer, NOT on a dolly. All the wheels must be off the ground or very expensive damage will occur. Good luck and safe travels!

I forgot to pass on the following info which should help for future inquiries.
The forum for Outbacks is at Subaru Outback - Subaru Outback Forums.
