Can the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Fit Directly to Raised Side Rails on a 2009 Subaru Forester

Question:

Vehicle: 2009 Subaru Forester w/ raised side rails When putting in my vehicle info on Rhino Racks website this product comes up as being compatible with my vehicle. I was just curious what this set up includes. It appears to be just the platform and the legs, I would need to get a set of crossbars? Thanks,

We do have a solution for you to use the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack directly on the raised side rails of your 2009 Subaru Forester but the part # JA8215 actually fits a 2003 - 2009 Lexus GX 470 so it isn't compatible with your vehicle.

Instead you will want to go with part # RR44100B and the SX Series Legs # RRSX100. This will mount directly to the side rails on your Forester.
