Bruce, to mount the Thule Hullavator # TH898 on your 2024 Subaru Outback Touring, you're just going to need to add a set of crossbars.

I recommend going with an Aero style, personally, like the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711120 with the feet # TH710601 and the fit kit # TH37CE.

These aren't any more or less special than the others, but I think the shape of these bars are much nicer and it will work with about every accessory that requires bars to mount.

What is the right length of crossbar to give the Hullivator proper clearance when coming down.

@Bruce There isn't really a right length, you just need a minimum spread of 24" and you need at least 4-8" of overhang for the Hullavator to work.

So does this mount on my current standard equipment roof rack?

@Bruce If you have a set of cross bars there is a good chance that it'd work but I can't definitively say yes or no since I don't know what you have.

I am still looking to order this but I am not comfortable with the 43" rail as it leaves zero overhang. I wish there were places that do installs.

@Bruce I undertsand, Bruce. But we do have an "Installer Locator" tool you can use that I've linked that will show you all of the available installers located near your ZIP code.
