2020 Subaru Outback Wagon Roof Rack Recommendation for Installing Thule Hullavator Pro
Question:
I have a thule Hulavator pro. What would it take to mount it on a an 2020 Subaru Outback XT with the Factory installed folding cross rails? I can send image of the cross rails if that would help assess best option. Would like recommendation for Thule specific products.

Expert Reply:
The OEM crossbars on your 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon don't have the correct design for the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 so we'll need to get you replacements. The Hullavator Pro requires at least 4" of overhang in order for it to be used without making contact with your Outback Wagon which is why we need new bars.
I recommend going with the Yakima JetStream system because it gives you enough crossbar space to have the appropriate overhang and the towers install in place of your OEM crossbars which means you have a natural looking roof rack system that meets your specs. Here are the parts you need:
- 50" JetStream Crossbars # Y00425
- SkyLine Towers # Y53TR
- Landing Pad 27 # Y46VR
- Lock Core Kit # Y07204 (optional)
