For your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon with the stowable rack system I recommend going with the Thule roof rack that uses the AeroBlade crossbars because they have reduced wind noise and drag over the square bar plus they can accommodate more accessories than the AeroBlade Edge crossbars.

The parts that you need for this system include the 47" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711220 Black or # TH711200 Silver, the Podium Foot Pack # TH460R, and the Fit Kit # THKIT4063. I also recommend installing the One-Key System # TH450400 to help deter theft of this roof rack.

If you don't already have a roof mount bike rack then I highly recommend the Thule UpRide # TH599000 because it can accommodate bikes with any style frame and features an easy-to-use ratcheting system that redefines loading your bike on your roof. Should you go this route with the Thule roof rack then I recommend getting the One-Key System # TH450600 instead as that allows you to use the same key for both the roof and bike racks.

Attached is a review video for the UpRide so you can see how it functions.

Yes, you can use the longer Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars part #TH711420 on your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon to gain the extra clearance for the Hullavator part #TH898 if there is 39-1/2" to 52-3/4" of space between your factory flush rails.…

You can indeed use the factory provided fixed points in the side rails to mount aftermarket crossbars. The actual rack needed will depend on whether or not you have the touring model. If you have the touring model and have flush mounted rails running…

The 47 inch bar would definitely not work for two Hullavators; thanks for calling that to our attention and that information has been edited. You would need crossbars that are a minimum of 76 inches for a pair of Hullavators.

Answer 8

I do have an option for you but I contacted Thule and the Thule Hullavator part #TH898 actually requires 38 inches of bar space to install so it would not fit on the 60" cross bar with the Thule Force XT Sport Rooftop Cargo Box part #TH6356B…

Answer 10

You would need at least 60" long crossbars to carry two Hullavators #TH898 plus very significant roof weight capacity. For your 2020 Subaru Outback, the fitted crossbar length from Thule system is 47" with parts #TH711220, #TH710601, and…

I may have a solution for you, but your 53" bars are not going to be sufficient for this task. The Thule Hullavator #TH898 requires 28.5" of usable bar space with 4"-8" outside of the rails/towers, in order to function properly;…
