The Yakima SkyRise roof tents require an aftermarket roof rack with a capacity of at least 165 pounds. I verified with Yakima that they're roof rack systems are confirmed to hold the tents on your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek's roof. I like the round bar system with # Y00408 crossbars, # Y03536 RoundBar adapter, and # Y33TR TimberLine towers.

The tents have a higher capacity than the 165 pounds of the roof rack because the ladder is used for support. There are a few different versions of the SkyRise. I've linked our selection for you.
