I pulled the Thule Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 for you specifically to check these measurements. From the bottom of the foot pack to the bottom of the crossbar will be about 3-3/8 inches and about 2-1/4" from the bottom of the foot to where your raised side rail will sit. view full answer...
Trailer hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver require a 1/2 inch diameter hitch pin. If you want a locking hitch pin, I recommend looking at the etrailer Receiver Lock, # e98880. I have also attached a link to all of the locking hitch pins we carry for a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver. view full answer...
We have quite a few cargo boxes that are narrower than the Yakima SkyBox Lo Cargo Box. A few that I recommend looking at are listed below along with their specs
Thule Pulse Alpine # TH613 - 88-1/2 L x 25-1/2 W x 12-1/2 T
Inno Wedge 660 # INBRM660BK - 80 L x 33 W x 11 T

By far the best option for a roof rack for your 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness is the roof rack by Rhino-Rack and it includes the following parts:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA126B-2
Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # RRSX100
I am a big fan of Rhino-Rack for the compatibility, quality, and the price of their roof racks and accessories. This aero bar roof rack system has a... view full answer...
For max tongue weight you will need to stay under the least rated component so even though the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98839 has a 525 lb tongue weight rating, I looked in the online owner's manual for your 2017 Subaru Forester XT and it looks like the max tongue weight they list for a trailer is 200 lbs so I can't recommend using anything where the carrier and cargo exceed that limit.
For your application it would be better to install wiring as well and then transport your... view full answer...
The 2017 Subaru Forester does have a max towing capacity of 1500 lbs. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2" # 75876 that is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Forester is rated to have a max capacity of 3500 lbs as you stated. In this case, as in many others, the hitch is rated higher than the vehicle itself.
Unfortunately this means that your Forester is restricted to the weakest capacity and that means you cannot tow a 1750lb trailer safely.
One of the reasons... view full answer...
Yes, they definitely will fit. The 54" Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars item # RRVA137B-2 will attach to your Forester's factory rails using the Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs item # RRSX100.
As far as the antenna goes it'll be close but it'll fit. We had a 2021 Forester in the shop recently and installed this very rack and the top of the cross bar cleared the antenna. I have attached a couple of pictures below and linked the installation video we did. view full answer...
The tube diameters on the Pro Series 6 Inch, Detachable Caster w/ Pin, part # PS1400750340, is 2 inch inside diameter and 2-1/4 inch outside diameter. The down tube on a 2 inch jack will fit inside the 2 inch tube on the caster.
You will need to make sure that the jack will have the hole in the down tube for the pin on the caster to go through and hold the caster to the jack. Also, both of the casters have a weight capacity of 1,200 lbs. If these casters are used on a jack with a higher... view full answer...
The highest weight capacity roof rack that we have for your 2017 Subaru Forester comes from Rhino-Rack and includes the Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA126B-2, and the SX Series Legs # RRSX100.
This roof rack has a weight capacity of 165 lbs and will only fit your Forester is it has factory raised side rails that run front to back. view full answer...
3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 23-1/2" Long # SP-113275 doesn't have a traditional bolt but it does have a threaded shaft and nut on the bottom. It is more like a plug on the top for the spring seat of your axle to rest. The length is 1-3/4 inches overall and it is 3/8 inch diameter by 20 threads and sticks out 1/2 inch from the bottom of the spring stack. view full answer...
The great thing about the Yakima Longarm part # Y01149 is that you can use it at different angles which puts the bar at varying heights so that you can pick the best height that will help you load. So you wouldn't have to worry about the bar height being correct since it's adjustable. See attached picture. view full answer...
For the Draw-Tite hitch # 76182 we have not yet had a local customer bring in their 2018 Forester for an install so in order to give you the installed height dimension I went to our warehouse and took a measurement of this hitch.
The hitch bolts to the bottom of the car's frame so I took a measurement from the top of the hitch mounting brackets down to the bottom of the 2-inch receiver tube. This dimension lets you see where the bottom-most part of the hitch will be, relative to the Forester's... view full answer...
When we installed the Hidden Hitch 87654 and the Draw Tite equivalent part # 75876 on a 2014 Subaru Forester we found that the distance from the pin hole to the outer edge of the bumper was 5 inches.
The Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH69TX and the T2 Pro part # TH83JV requires 5 inches so it would be very close.
These hitches offer better clearance than the Curt so they would be the best options. view full answer...
Yes, they will. To attach the 53" Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars item # TH711420 to the factory rails of your 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness you will need the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars item # TH710401.
They're only 3" wider than the 50" Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars item # TH711320 that are recommended for your Subaru. view full answer...
To attach a set of crossbars to the rails on your 2024 Subaru Forester, I recommend the Yakima TimberLine FX Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails item # Y48UV.
This crossbar system has a 165 lbs capacity and does not extend over the sides of the mounting legs. I recommend adding the Yakima Same Key System item # Y07204 to help prevent theft.
A great perk of Yakima's products is you can buy larger lock core kits 6 item # Y07206 or 8 item # Y07208 and have the roof rack and other Yakima accessories... view full answer...

The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR77AB should be able to clear the shark fin antenna on your 2017 Subaru Forester with raised side rails, but it is a good idea to measure how tall your shark fin antenna is first.
The bottom of the platform rack will approximately be just under 3 inches from the top of your roof so if your shark fin antenna is less than 3 inches - and from my research it looks like it will be - then the platform rack will have the needed clearance.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12100 you were looking at for your 2018 Subaru Forester is a Class II hitch with a 350lb tongue weight rating and a 3500lb trailer weight rating.
For a hitch that has a 525lb tongue weight rating you would need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # CU64FR instead which is a Class III hitch with a 525lb tongue weight rating and a 3500lb trailer weight rating.
With that said the # C12100 can still be used to carry 3 bikes using a bike rack like the Thule... view full answer...
I confirmed with my contact at Thule that the discontinued Thule Circuit XT Fork Mount Carrier Bike Rack will fit on your Subaru Forester 2020 Aero Crossbars if the thickness of the crossbars measures at or less than 1-1/4 inches.
As far as the height of the crossbars, the Thule Circuit XT fits most styles of crossbar heights. However, if you are concerned about the crossbar height on your 2020 Subaru Forester, you can purchase longer bolts with Thule Adapter Kit # THXADAPT7. view full answer...
