Yakima Roof Rack for 2023 Subaru Outback With Thule Hullavators

Question:

Hello, I have two hullavators 897xt and 898 that I need to put on my 2023 Subaru Outback. What do you recommend for a rack? I prefer the Yakima as I prefer their mounting point better than Thule’s. Thank you

Hi Tina; I also prefer Yakima so I'm glad we're on the same page. For your 2023 Outback and Hullavators I recommend the JetStream roof rack. You will need the following:

-Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426

-SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR

-Landing Pad 27 for Yakima SkyLine And Control Towers # Y46VR

The JetStream crossbars are extremely quiet so you won't have a bunch of road noise added to your day to day driving. If you want to keep your rack secure you can also add the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 4) # Y07204. This is rack fits every model except the Wilderness. If you have the Wilderness you only need the crossbars and the TimberLine Towers # Y33TR.

Is the 50” going to be long enough? The width of the Outback without mirrors is 73”

@TinaK the crossbars need to extend 4" - 8" beyond the feet of the roof rack so the 60" bars should give you plenty of extra. They don't have to be as wide as your vehicle. I went ahead and updated it above.
