Questions from Subaru Forester owners about this product

• Which Roof Mounted Cargo Baskets Will Fit a 2011 Subaru Forester With or Without Factory Roof Rack
  
• As long as your 2011 Subaru Forester has cross bars that run side to side that are less than 3-1/4 inches wide, the Rola Roof Mounted Cargo Basket, # 59504, will fit. The cross bars will need to be 26-1/4 inches apart, center to center, 30 inches apart center to center, 33-3/4 inches apart center to center, or 37-1/2 inches apart center to center. I have included a link to the installation details and a video review of this basket. Installation is not difficult and I am sure even the most novice

Questions from Subaru Forester owners about this product

• Compatibility of Rola 23 By 56 Cargo Carrier on a Dodge Grand Caravan and a 2010 Subaru Forester
  
• The Rola Cargo Carrier, item # 59507, will most likely fit both of your vehicles as long as they have Class 2 hitches installed. I went out to the warehouse and measured the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the carrier and found that it is 9 inches. You will need to measure the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch to the farthest out part of the vehicle or spare tire, if the Subaru has a rear mounted spare tire.

Questions from Subaru Forester owners about this product

• Thule AeroBlade Versus Square Bar to Mount Curt Cargo Basket to 2013 Subaru Forester
  
• The Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket you refer to, part # C18115 is compatible with either the Thule Square or AeroBlade Crossbar. If your Forester has the side rails that run from the front to the rear along the edge of the roof, for square bars you would need part # THLB50 and # TH450. For the AeroBlade, use part # THARB47 and # TH450R. If your Forester has a bare roof, you would install crossbars using parts # THLB50, TH460 and THKIT3079 for Square Bars or # THARB47, TH460R and THKIT3079.

Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2010 Subaru Forester

Today on our 2010 Subaru Forester, well test-fitting part number C18145. This is the Curt 20x48 Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4 and 2-inch Hitches. Now, weve already removed the included adapter for the 2-inch hitch, so were ready to go ahead and fit it to the vehicle. Well slide the cargo carrier shank into the hitch, line up the hitch pinhole and install and tighten down our anti-rattle bolt. With our bolt tight, our cargo carrier is secured to the vehicle. Well now go ahead and give you a few measurements.

Subaru Forester Hitch Cargo Carrier Questions

• Attaching License Plate to Cargo Carrier
  
• The legalities regarding a cargo carrier obscuring a rear license plate can vary widely by state. Your best bet would be to directly contact the State Police or Department of Transportation in the states in which you will be traveling. The Pilot 20x45 Cargo Carrier, part # CR-114N does not provide a dedicated place to attach a license plate. You could drill two holes through the rear rail in order to bolt the plate in place, or simply use zip-ties to temporarily attach the plate, if needed.

Subaru Forester Roof Cargo Carrier Questions

• Comparing Mount Security on the Thule Pulse Rooftop Cargo Box TH614 to a Y07192 Yakima Rocketbox 14
  
• The clamps on the # TH614 Thule Pulse rooftop cargo box are very similar to the ones Yakima uses in the Rocketbox 14, part # Y07192. Both use a simple hand tightening knob for the clamp mechanism, and both slide easily along the bottom of the cargo box. Either one would tighten up well on the aero style bars you have on your 2013 Subaru Forester. I have not had a chance to use the Pulse box yet, but I did have an opportunity to use one of the smaller Yakima Rocketbox models on top of my Jee

• Comparing the SportRack Aero XL Cargo Box with Thule and Yakima Cargo Boxes, 2009 Subaru Forester
  
• Basically, it depends on what features you want in a cargo box. The SportRack Aero XL, # A90275, is going to give you all of the basic features of a cargo box. The main difference is going to be the mounting hardware. The Aero XL uses u-bolts, which you can see in the last picture on the product page. The u-bolts are going to be a secure connection, but they take a lot longer to attach to the crossbars on the vehicle roof. Yakima and Thule boxes have a clamping type of mechanism that makes i

• Comparing the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Cargo Box with a SportRack Aero XL Cargo Box
  
• To me the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14, # Y07192, is not only one of Yakimas best boxes, but one of the best boxes that we carry. The reason is because of its shape and features. The box measures 74 inches long by 33 inches wide and despite its size it still has 14 cubic feet of storage space. The RocketBox also features a simple and easy to use mounting system that clamps around the crossbars rather than using u-bolts to mount them like the Aero XL box.

• Direct Fit Roof Mount Cargo Basket Recommendations for a 2007 Subaru Forester
  
• The SportRack Cargo Basket, # A21030, is a universal fit item designed to fit as many vehicles as possible. To determine if your 2007 Subaru Forester is compatible, you will need to measure the width of the cross bars that run side to side on the roof. If they are less than 3-1/2 inches thick, then the basket will fit. According to Thule, there is a direct fit basket compatible with the cross bars on your Forester. Take a look at the M.O.A.B. Roof Top Cargo Carrier, # TH690. This basket will

• Is the SportRack Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Compatible with the Thule Crossroad Kit TH45050
  
• The shipping weight on the SportRack cargo basket is 40 pounds. If you deduct the packaging weight, the rack probably weighs about 38 pounds. You should have no problem attaching the SportRack basket to the Thule part # TH45050 rack. The Safari Net, part # A21033, attaches to the basket and will not make contact with the Thule kit so you should have no problems their either.

• Roof Mount Cargo Box Recommendation for a 2010 Subaru Forester
  
• If your 2010 Subaru Forester has a factory roof rack that includes cross bars that run side to side, there are several direct fit options.The Yakima SkyBox 16s Cargo Box, # Y07178, is one of these boxes and would be a good fit. The type and size cargo box that best fits your needs depends on what you plan to carry. The Yakima SkyBox 16s Cargo Box, # Y07178, would be a good option because it is cost effective, and has a lot of good features such as the clamp-style mounting feet, it can be open

• SportRack Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Part # A21030 for 2008 Subaru Forester
  
• The SportRack Roof Mounted Cargo Basket will bolt directly to the factory cross bars on your 2008 Forester as long as they are not wider than 3-1/2 inches. The basket will sit on top of your existing cross bars, and will not touch the roof at any point. The basket has a 110 lb capacity. Keep in mind that the capacity of your factory roof rack will come into play here, as well. The basket weighs approximately 40 lbs, so the factory rack capacity will be reduced by 40 lbs.

I measured a length of approximately 78-1/2 Inches or 199 CM of space without interfering with the hinges of the Yakima Skybox. You will be able to fit skis that measure 78-1/2 Inches or 199 CM in length into the Yakima SkyBox 18.
