Roof Rack Recommendation for 2014 Subaru Forester with Flat Crossbars and Higher Weight Capacity

Question:

Hi, I am looking for a product to allow me to carry 160-170lbs of a boat on my car. This crossbar should be flat and would love to have it wider than the car. I already have sidebars and even crossbars, but my crossbars are has a bend towards to middle. Is this one a good option MPG201 Happy to check other options too.

The Malone AirFlow2 roof rack part # MPG201 would be a solid option for a flat crossbar roof rack that fits your 2014 Subaru Forester with raised rails. This has a longer bar at 58 inches as well and a weight capacity of 165 lbs.

If you wanted a rack with a higher weight capacity we have the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX100 which has a 175 lb weight capacity but the bars are 9 inches shorter which may or may not be a deal breaker for you.
