• Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2015 Subaru Crosstrek and Tongue Weight Capacity
• I do have thoughts, but start with the trailer hitch receiver fits for your 2015 Subaru Crosstrek if you don't have one yet, for which the best option is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98838. This hitch is very similar, with the same installation and clearances as the other hitches that fit your '15 Crosstrek, the Draw-Tite # 76084 and Curt # C13135, but with a matte black finish that will help hide any scratches to help maintain a clean aesthetic. As for the tongue weight, you...

• What Awning Can Mount to the Yakima LockNLoad Platform
• The Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars # Y05044-39 has T-slots that allow you to mount any awning that mounts in the T-slots on crossbars or platforms, like the Rhino-Rack Batwing Compact Awning # RR33400. This awning is a great choice that mounts to the passenger side of your vehicle and provides 69 sq/ft of coverage. There is also the Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning - Roof Rack Mount - Bolt On - Passenger's Side - 118 Sq Ft # RR33200, which is a bit bigger, but also mounts in the...

• Can I Use The Thule Hullavator On Factory Crossbars With No Overhang?
• The Thule Hullavator # TH898 will require crossbars that overhang the towers by 4' - 8". There is not any kind of adapter that is made for this purpose. Your best bet will be to replace the factory crossbars with aftermarket crossbars that have some overhang. Since your 2023 Subaru Outback already has the factory installed rails running front to back, you will be able to mount crossbars using these rails. I recommend the Yakima JetStream Roof Rack, which will consist of the following parts: Yakima...

• Can I Use The Thule Hulavator On A Roof Rack With No Crossbar Overhang?
• You are correct in that the Thule Hullavator # TH898 Requires the crossbars to overhang between 4" - 8" past the feet. So you will not be able to use this with the Factory Crossbars on your 2024 Subaru Outback Touring XT, since there is no overhang. You will need to either purchase an aftermarket roof rack like a Thule or Yakima for example. Or you would have to use a standard Kayak carrier without a lift assist, like the Rhino Rack J-Style Carrier # S512.

• Will Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars and Thule Evo Raised Rail Feet Fit on Factory Raised Rails?
• Hello Kara - Thanks so much for reaching out. Crossbars that are compatible with your 2014 Subaru Forester and 1993 Chevy S-10 Blazer 4-door depend on what kind of factory roof rack you have (if any). Once I find out what kind of factory rack you have on your vehicles (flushed rails, raised rails, or none), I can let you know the compatibility of the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars and the Evo Raised Rail Feet.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon with Dual Exhaust
• Yes, you can install Curt trailer hitch # C13206 on your 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon with dual exhaust.

The vehicle in the video has single exhaust but you would just apply the same techniques to both sides. Please note that if your Outback is a Sport model there are no trailer hitch options available.

• Rooftop Cargo Bag Recommendation For 2010 Subaru Forester Roof Rack
• A cargo basket is not absolutely necessary, you can use just a cargo bag and attach it to the roof rack of your 2010 Subaru Forester. A Rhino-Rack bag does require a basket, so I recommend going with a different option from Rightline: -Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S30 I like this bag because not only is it large, holding 18 cu ft of cargo, but it's also waterproof, so the contents inside the bag are going to stay completely dry, unlike most cargo bags that are simply...

• Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack for a 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon with Factory Crossbars
• The Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack, part # RR42115BF, is designed to mount to a wide variety of crossbars, including factory crossbars. However, the factory crossbars only have a spread of 39", so the platform will have interference from your rails (since the factory crossbars sit below the rails). An alternative to this platform that will sit inside the rails is part # RR42114BF. It's the same rack but smaller (48" Long x 38" Wide). The 38" width will allow it to mount safely...

• Will etrailer Hitch for 2013 Subaru Forester Reduce Ground Clearance
• The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59AR will reduce the ground clearance on your 2013 Subaru Forester some, but it won't make the vehicle sit lower in the back. The only reason this will sit closer to the ground is because the receiver is the same height as the crosstube. For a hitch that has the receiver sitting under the crosstube we have the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7164. With this model the crosstube is hidden behind your bumper so the only thing reducing clearance...

• Is There Enough Room On The Crossbars Of The Yakima EasyRider Tent And Trailer For A Turtle

In the attached video below you can see Hayden also has a basket like the Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07014 mount to hold other accessories. You could install a cargo basket and set it up to hold your turtle.

• Yes, our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98839 will work with the Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack 2-Bike # TH83GC or 4-Bike # TH26ZE behind your 2015 Subaru Forester.
