Cargo Box Recommendation for a 2015 Subaru Forester that Clears Rear Hatch

Question:

I ordered a 2015 Forester with aero bar option. Will the Skybox 12 work without interfering with the tail gate opening?

I have a cargo box that would fit the factory crossbars of your 2015 Subaru Forester, but most likely the Yakima Skybox 12 part # Y07334 would cause interference with the hatch opening. You can verify this though once you receive the vehicle. You will want to have the front crossbar slid as far forward as possible and then measure from the center of it to the nearest portion of the hatch when it is open. If that clearance is more than 50 inches the Skybox would fit.

The Thule Pulse part # TH614 would fit without hatch interference, check out the video that shows this box being demoed on a similar vehicle as yours.
