Yakima has a platform tray that fits the raised side rails of your 2023 Subaru Ascent with the Yakima LockNLoad # Y05045,# Y33TR, # Y05042-2 which will by far be your lowest profile option since a set of crossbars isn't required and it's a platform and not a basket so it is not very tall at all. The tray is 60" Long x 54" Wide.
