Rooftop Cargo Carrier Solution for 2017 Subaru Outback
Question:
I was wondering if this was a good option to be carrying cargo from across the country, as Im relocating. The vehicle has the factory cross bars on top. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
For a cross country trip the Thule Canyon part # TH859XT would be a good option that would give you a platform for your cargo to mount, but since you'd be driving through inclement weather at some point a better option would be a cargo box that will protect the cargo.
We have the Thule Force XL part # TH6358B which is a fit for your crossbars that has the ability to hold up to 17 cubic feet.
