Recommended Roof Rack for 2018 Subaru Crosstrek and 2016 Subaru Forester
Question:
Hello, Im looking to get a roof rack that I could use for my 2018 Subaru crosstrek and also use for 2016 Subaru forester. The ultimate goal for this roof rack is to carry two kayaks so looking for suggestions for what else to get besides the roof rack to make this happen. Thanks

The roof rack that I recommend for both a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek and 2016 Subaru Forester assuming they have factory raised side rails is the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA126B-2 and part # RRSX100. This roof rack will then work perfectly with most kayak carriers like the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier part # e98878 (2) which is what I recommend for two kayaks and they comes with everything you need.
