Hi, I have a 2016 Subaru Outback. Im wondering if it is possible to mount side by side cargo boxes on my roof?

Expert Reply:
There isn't a lot of space on the factory roof rack on a 2016 Subaru Outback so the boxes would have to be very narrow such as # TH613 at 25-1/2 inches wide. The mounting feet will be more narrowly spaced. That means to put 2 of these boxes side by side you would need about 50 inches of free crossbar space.
The other option is to go with a larger box and just use one. The largest box we have is the Thule Motion 22 # TH629906 with 22 cubic feet of storage space.
