Best Way to Fit MajorShady 270 Awning and SkyBox NX 16 on a 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
If I were to mount the locknload platform to the oem factory crossbars to my 2024 Subaru outback touring xt, will I be able to mount both the MajorShady 270 awning, and a hardshell carrier like the Yakima nx16 to the locknload platform itself and remain under the weight limit?

Expert Reply:
While I really do like the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack # Y05044-39, there are two issues with what you're wanting to do; the SkyBox NX 16 has the mounting areas recessed so even if you installed the T-Slot kit it wouldn't be able to fit on the LockNLoad, plus the weight of the LockNLoad, MajorShady 270, and the cargo box would be 137 lbs which means you can only load up to 28 lbs of luggage in the box.
Instead, I recommend replacing the OEM roof rack on your 2024 Subaru Outback Wagon with the Yakima JetStream system so you're only dealing with the weight of the MajorShady 270 and the SkyBox NX 16. This means you need the following parts for a complete setup:
- 50" JetStream Crossbars # Y00425
- SkyLine Towers # Y53TR
- Landing Pad 27 # Y46VR
- MajorShady 270 Awning # Y82AV
- Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y95AV
- 6 Count Lock Core Kit # Y07206 (optional - 6 count pairs both roof rack and cargo box together so they all match)
