Best Roof Rack For The Thule Hullavator On A 20118 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
I would like to use the Thule Hullavator on my 2018 Subaru Outback. Could you tell me what I need and how to fit it please.

It all depends on what your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon has on the roof. If you have a touring Outback with flush rails you will need the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - # TH711320; The Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - # TH710601; and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Roof Rack Feet - # TH186047. These bars will have the T-Slot on top so you will be able to use the Thule Hullavator # TH898.
If you do not have the touring Outback and has flush mounted rails that run front to back, you will just need the Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH711220; The same Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars 50" # TH711320 and the fit kit for the Thule Podium-Style Feet # THKIT4063
If you have raised side rails, you need the Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - # Y00425 along with the SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points, Flush Rails, and Track Systems - # Y53TR and lastly you'll need the Landing Pad 15 for Yakima Control Towers - # Y00241
I suggested the 50" Bars because you will need to have 4-8" of crossbar sticking out PAST the feet on one side to be able to install properly. You will want to offset your crossbars to one side to achieve the 4-8 inches. No worries, I have included an installation video of the Hullavator and also your roof rack system.
