Expert Answers about Subaru Ascent


  • Roof Rack for Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket on 2020 Subaru Ascent
  • Your 2020 Subaru Ascent will require a roof rack to carry any cargo basket, including the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT. Assuming you have raised side rails that run front to back on your Ascent, here is the roof rack that will work with your Subaru: - Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00429 (Silver) or # Y00426 (Black) - TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y33TR As for the paddleboards, there isn't anything designed to carry them in a cargo basket so you can use whatever...

  • Best Roof Rack For A Rooftop Tent On A 2021 Subaru Ascent
  • The best set up for a rooftop tent would be the Yakima JetStream roof rack system because it's easy to use, reliable, and has a weight capacity of 165 lbs. To connect this to the raised rails on your 2021 Subaru Ascent you need the 60" JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 along with the TimberLine Towers # Y33TR. To add locks to the TimberLine Towers you can do so with the kit # Y07204. This will help prevent a passerby from being able to remove the roof rack easily.

  • Will Thule Motion XT or Force XT Cargo Boxes Fit 2019 Subaru Ascent with OEM Roof Rack
  • The Thule Motion XT and Force XT cargo boxes will fit your 2019 Subaru Ascent no problem. They are essentially the same box with the Force XT being the newer style with the Black AeroSkin finish as opposed to the standard Glossy Black or Titan (gray) finish on the Motion XT. Thule says that the XT Sport, L, and XL sizes will fit your Ascent so you can choose from the following depending on what size you need and finish you want: 11 cu ft Force XT Sport - # TH6356B 16 cu ft Force XT -...

  • Recommended Towing Mirror for 2019 Subaru Ascent
  • Of the mirrors we have as confirmed fits, I'd recommend the CIPA # 11953-2. Each mirror has 2 independently adjustable mirror pieces to provide you with a better field of vision than a mirror with a single face would. This mirror would be a fit unless the Ascent is a Limited or Platinum Edition, which uses a mirror that's different enough that the towing mirror wouldn't be able to attach reliably. If you click the link, you can see a product description video featuring the mirror I recommended.

  • Will Malone Profile 18B Work with Subaru Ascent with Factory Crossbars?
  • Yes, the Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box # MPG911 will fit securely on your 2020 Subaru Ascent with factory crossbars as long as your crossbars are measure 1-3 inches in width and 3/4 inches - 1-3/8 inches in height. Some crossbars (factory or aftermarket) do have a slight arc to them. This is not abnormal when it comes to crossbar systems.

  • How To Confirm Fit of LaSalle Bristol Utopia RV Bathroom Faucet with D-Spud
  • The LaSalle Bristol Utopia RV Bathroom Faucet part # 34420373P21 fits a pretty standard mounting pattern. That said, if you want to confirm it will fit your exact sink just measure the mounting holes. They should be around a 13/16" diameter with 4" spacing. The bathroom faucets are pretty standardized thankfully so fit isn't too much of an issue with a bit of knowledge and measuring.

  • Will the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver be Concealed by Hitch Cover Panel on 2021 Subaru Ascent
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55ZR will be completely hidden by the hitch bumper cover once installation is complete. The last step of the instructions note that the fascia has a removable panel for hitch usage and that the panel can then be reinstalled when hitch is not in use. This will allow you to maintain the clean factory look while having the hitch installed. I have attached an installation video of the Curt # C25VR which has an identical installation process. You can follow...

  • Where Can I Mount The Tekonsha Primus Brake Controller
  • I went to the warehouse to measure the Primus and it does not take up as much space as you would think. The Tekonsha Primus part # TK90160 measures: Width- 3-3/8" Height- 1-1/4" Length-4-5/8" Most customers mount the Primus to the right side of the steering wheel low enough to where it doesn't interfere with driving. It does need to be mounted on a level horizontal plane and be lined up with the direction of travel. Vertically it can be mounted at any angle between 0 and 90 degrees. If...

  • Recommended Bumper Mount Spare Tire Carrier for a 8 Lug LT225/75R16E Tire
  • I recommend the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers and RVs - Bumper Mount item # UF15-954730. This carrier has a capacity of 60 lbs and will work with lug patterns up to 5, 6, and 8 lug wheels. It is designed to fit square 4" x 4" bumpers. I also recommend using the Adco's black spare tire cover item # 290-1733 to protect your wheel and tire. It looks like your wheel and tire have a diameter of just above 29" so this will fit perfectly.

  • Will I have to Reduce the Weight Capacity on My Receiver If using an Extended Ball Mount?
  • Using a ball mount like the Brophy # BH20 that is 13-1/4" long compared to a more standard Curt # D-4 that is 10-1/4" long, will not reduce the maximum tongue weight allowed on your receiver. It is important to be sure to not exceed the weight ratings on either your receiver, the ball mount or the hitch ball. As all 3 of these will have their own maximum weight ratings be sure to never exceed the lowest rating of all the components. You will only need to look at reducing weight when you...

  • I was able to confirm both our class III etrailer Trailer Hitch Receivers # e55ZR and # e35ZR are confirmed to fit your 2024 Subaru Ascent. The Receiver # e35ZR is going to be the easier install option as it will bolt to the bottom of the frame rails and hang below the rear bumper fascia. If you are concerned with ground clearance or want the best looking receiver we have the Receiver # e55ZR which will sit behind the factory removable panel. This is a more difficult install as it requires...

  • Can I Use My Cell Phone While Towing With Curt Echo
  • You can use the Iphone at the same time as the Curt Echo controller part # C51180 because the Echo pairs with the controller via Bluetooth. The only functions you would not be able to use on your phone is with a bluetooth device like your vehicle's media system or a headset. However, we do not really recommend to use the phone while towing just in the case that you need to hit the manual override, you want the phone easily accessible with the Curt app open. You can also pair the brake controller...
