Expert Answers about Subaru Outback Wagon


  • Rooftop Cargo Box for 2013 Subaru Outback with Factory Crossbars
  • There are rooftop cargo boxes which are confirmed to work with the factory roof rack on your 2013 Subaru Outback, although the Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box # MPG911 is not listed by the manufacturer as compatible. The good news is, there are cargo boxes of a higher quality and similar price whose manufacturers have confirmed will fit the factory crossbars on your '13 Outback. The best option among these is the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629706 because it is supremely...

  • Is There a Plug and Play Harness for a Redarc Brake Controller on a 1997 Winnebago Itasca?
  • The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR will need to be hardwired to your 1997 Winnebago Itasca to get the brakes working on a trailer. Most of the plug and play options with Redarc will be on newer vehicles at the moment. I have not heard anything from them about looking into plug and play harnesses for RVs yet, but that may change at some point.

  • Ski Rack For 2022 Subaru Outback That Fits Factory Crossbars
  • There is indeed a ski rack that is a fit for the factory roof rack on your 2022 Subaru Outback. What you will need is a ski rack from Thule, and there are options depending on how many pairs of skis (or snowboards) you want to carry, as well as the color you want: - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards: Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Silver # TH7324 or Black # TH7324B - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards: Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Silver # TH7326 or Black # TH7326B I verified...

  • How Does Curt Roof Rack # C18118 Fit Raised Side Rails of 2020 Subaru Outback
  • I attached a picture that shows how the Curt roof rack part # C18118 installs on the raised side rails of your 2021 Subaru Outback Wagon. In the picture you can see that the rack attaches to the portion of the rack that swings out which doesn't leave a wide spread for the crossbars but it does fit. We don't have a similar setup for the Malone but it would be the same way.

  • Will the Yakima KeelOver fit Crossbars of the 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • I checked with Yakima and they list the Keelover part # Y04069 as a fit for the factory crossbars of your 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon so I would recommend it for you. As long as the weight of your canoe is less than the roof capacity of your vehicle this should work well for you.

  • Bumper Clearance Measurements Of Class ll Hitches For 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • If your 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon is not the Sport model, we have a couple of hitches that are designed to fit your car. The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 36493, has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and measures 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the bumper on a 2011 Outback Wagon. If you measure your bike carrier and it has more than 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the carrier, it may work well for you. The Curt hitch we...

  • Rubber Adjusters for Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains PW1042 on 17 Inch Wheels
  • I can understand the confusion, although either of the adjusters can be used. The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW1042, which fit the 225/65-17 tires on your 2016 Subaru Outback, can be adjusted with either the Glacier Multi-Arm Rubber Adjusters # PW105 youi referenced or the Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster # TCMA1; the Q&A was just one person's recommendation for that situation. I happen to like the Glacier Multi-Arm Rubber Adjusters # PW105 because of the metal...

  • Can the Thule Roof Rack from a 2014 Subaru Outback be Used on a 2019 Subaru Outback
  • The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier part # TH898 and what looks to be the Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs part # TH896 that you had on your 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon can still be used on your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon assuming space permits. However, the 2014 Subaru Outback (non-sport) has raised side rails and the 2019 Subaru Outback (non-touring) has flush side rails so the mounting feet and fit kit cannot be carried over. Instead, you will need to swap these out for the...

  • Should I get Memory Mounts for Inno Shadow 16 Rooftop Cargo Box?
  • The Inno Shadow 16 Rooftop Cargo Box # INBRA1210BK is a great box. This version of the Inno Shadow Box has a Quick Mount system which does a great job of securing the box to your roof rack. So as is, your Inno Shadow 16 will fit your crossbars with no issue. However, when you compare them with the Memory Mount clamp, the knobs in the Quick Mount that you have to turn and tighten/loosen rely more on your ability to tighten them down every time. If you want extra security and snugness,...

  • Recommended Hitch For NV 2.0 Bike Rack On A 2016 Subaru Outback
  • If you're wanting to use the NV 2.0 # NV22B-NA22B it would be best to get a heavier duty hitch like this class III # e98847 on your 2016 Subaru Outback. This will be plenty strong to hold the NV 2.0. I've included an installation video for the hitch along with another of Ryan using the NV 2.0!

  • Parts Needed to Use Older Yakima Viper Roof Bike Rack on a 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • Your older model Yakima Viper Bike Rack (par 8002000) can definitely be mounted to your 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon. We need to go with your option 1 though as the Viper isn't compatible with the Mighty Mounts. A complete Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack uses the following parts: - 48" Round Crossbars # Y00408 - TimberLine Towers # Y33TR - RoundBar SL Adapter # Y03536 - Lock Core Kit # Y07204 (optional) As long as your round crossbars are at least 48" long you'll only need the TimberLine...

  • Will Hollywood Rack Replacement Cradles Fit Other Bike Racks With 1-1/4 Inch Diameter Arms
  • Yes, so long as your bike rack - in your case a Rola - has 1-1/4 inch diameter arms, you can absolutely use the Replacement Standard Cradles for Hollywood Racks Bike Carrier with 1-1/4" Arms # HR750-P. The cradles are made by Hollywood racks but will fit any bike rack with 1-1/4 inch diameter arms.

  • Can a Ball Mount Be Used In Place of the Tri-Ball On the Curt Multi-Ball Ball Mount
  • I do have an option for you but the Replacement 2" Receiver part # C45802 does not accept a standard ball mount. It only works with the Replacement Tri-Ball part # C45800 which when combined with the Replacement Shank part # C45059 would give you the Curt Multi-Ball Adjustable Ball Mount part # D900. In other words, you cannot use a standard ball mount in place of the tri-ball on the Curt Multi-Ball Ball Mount. If this is not what you are asking please just let me know. If you are looking...

  • Will Rightline Cargo Hatch Saddlebag Block Tail Lights On 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • For your 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon I recommend taking a measurement to see if you have the needed clearance to make sure you do not block your tail lights when using the Rightline Gear Roof Cargo Carrier, part # RL100B90. In order to make certain it does not interfere with your tail lights, you will need at least 40 inches between your tail lights. The bag is 28 inches tall and 20 inches deep. The weight capacity is listed at 100 lbs. This bag also has a license plate sleeve if the cargo...

  • What Tires on 2019 Subaru Outback Should Tire Chains be Used on
  • I used a search engine to look up the owner's manual of your 2019 Subaru Outback and it stated on page 8-12 to use a traction device on the front wheels only, so you do not need chains for all four wheels. It also states you need to use a Class S traction device to ensure clearance and that you can't use normal steel chains, but you can use self-tensioning chains (these will be tight around your tire which means they will give you the clearance needed not to hit your Outback's wheel well). The...

  • Best Hitch Receiver for a 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • I would be happy to make a recommendation for your 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon. Both the etrailer item # e25TR and the Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver item # DT74YR have identical capacities and installation methods. I have linked installation and review videos below. The Draw-Tite receiver hangs down lower than the etrailer and is more expensive. Both of these reasons are why I would recommend the etrailer item # e25TR for your Outback. If you need a wiring harness to control your trailer's lighting...

  • Can I Use the 9005 LED Headlight Bulbs On a 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • The 9005 LED Headlights # ARC99VR are not designed to be used as a high beam replacement, and typically when the DRL are on the high beams are not. The # ARC99VR lights are designed for reflector style, low-beam headlight applications. You'll want to confirm that your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon has reflector style head lights, but as long as that is the case they'll work just fine and you've got nothing to worry about.
