Best 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon Cargo Carriers

Awesome product! easy to put together and carries so much gear without impacting gas mileage. I got the light kit so I can really load it but it rides so low with my Subaru Outback they're not really needed.

Very happy with purchase of cargo carrier. Arrived within week and less than 30 min to assemble. Installed on 2016 Suburu, used as cargo carrier, firewood carrier, and as kitchen counter while car camping. Did not block license plate or rear lights on car with cargo bag. Added reflective tape to back side.

I am very happy with both the initial quality of the Load Warrior and how nice the eTrailer people are to deal with... The product seems well thought out and there are a bunch of accessories to mount most anything...

This product fits my 2014 Subaru outback perfectly. It look like it was made for this vehicle. I actually believe this is the same rack you can purchase through Subaru with a faring that says Subaru instead of Yakima. It looks great and adds function and utility

Others stated directions were hard to follow but my husband had it installed on my 2007 Subaru Outback Wagon in less than an hour by himself the only thing I helped with was lifting it up and off the roof of the car. I chose Thule because they stand behind their product. Thule is the best cargo roof basket available on the market and they back it up with a Lifetime Warranty! I have not had any cargo in it yet but have had it up to 75 miles an hour with no wind drag empty. There is a speed rating on this basket of 80 miles an hour so I wonder if the wind complaint reviewers are driving in excess of 80 miles an hour. No matter what vehicle you put it on it has a nice, sleek, sturdy appearance. From what I have researched the less expensive roof cargo baskets only have up to a 2 year warranty and are plagued by rust issues.

Excellent basket! Very well made. High quality equipment. Taking a star off because it should have included locking cores at the price.

Have not hauled anything since installed but it looks great and is solid. When at freeway speeds I can faintly hear the wind whistling through it but I expected that.

Very high quality. Installed in about an hour. Extremely satisfied.

We're very happy with this purchase; it's spacious and easy to install. We have a Subaru Outback. Combined with a rooftop carrier, we were able to move all of our daughter's things into her college dorm in one trip!

Once it was together, I really liked it. It wasn’t that easy to put together and it required metric tools which I had to search for. It worked well and it was very useful.

The delivery was right on time as the common carrier arranged. I wish the carrier would have taken the pallets from the delivery. I will be using the carrier for hauling my "golf" equipment. The carrier will suffice for this chore.

Love this Rooftop box! It's easy to install & remove, and very secure. It compliments our Outback, as well, in appearance.

This Reese Cargo Carrier worked great! Our adult daughter put it together herself with no problems. It worked great on the back of our Subaru Outback on our weeklong trip. We look forward to using it for many more years.

WELL WORTH THE EXTRA FEW $$$ I bought a Hidden Hitch for my Subaru Outback so I wouldn't be bashing folks shins. Problem is, with a regular basket, you have to crawl under to get the pin in. With this raised basket it is MUCH EASIER. It is also nice that it is custom cut for tail lights when I want to go that route. If you have a Class2 hitch - THIS IS THE BASKET TO BUY.

I've had this roof basked for a year now, and it has done very well for us so far. I mount this to my 2023 Subaru Outback XT Onyx Edition for when we take family trips that require more gear than will fit in the cargo area. It allows my son to remain comfortable in the back seat (he's a sprawler with gadgets and books on long trips) while making sure that we have all the gear we need. On week-long trips to both Canaan Valley, WV and Lewes Delaware, we were able to strap our cooler and other weatherproof gear into the basket with ease. The mounting system is plenty sturdy, and the basket was able to fit a lot of cargo easily and safely. It didn't retain water in the tubes or connecting pieces after several rain storms, and I haven't seen any evidence of rust so far. I should note that I don't leave it mounted to the car 24/7 because I don't pretend to be some overland fanatic, so it lives in my furnace room (easily supported by aluminum brackets tap-conned into the cinderblock wall) when not in use. This will definitely give it a longer lifespan. I'd definitely buy one again. The size is perfect for my Outback and fits plenty of gear.

Nice looking carrier and holds a good amount of cargo. It would be nice to have a better mounting system that does not interfere with the bottom of the carrier. Overall, it fit our needs well.

Would highly recommend these products Service was amazing !

Nice product

I recieved my order in just a couple of days. It was easy to assemble and fits as advertised. Thanks to Etrailer for their great service.

I have had 3 different brands of roof baskets. This one is fantastic. And I say that because of the price vs quality. I have a Subaru Outback 2018, and this basket fits well, but requires a small bit of modification to the front two joints(plastic, a little too big, trim it down with grinder). I have the extension that was easy to add and the basket itself is super easy to put together. It is a simplistic design, you could easily put it together right without the instructions. Etrailer.com has been great as well, I have received prompt and easy to read feedback for shipping.

Easy assembly solid construction. My kit was missing two nuts. No big deal I have drawer full. Seems to be a heavy duty unit that will take some abuse. Leaving for a road trip soon will find out.

I've taken one 1500 mile trip so far with the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 mounted on my RAV4. I found the box to be quiet and not to have much impact on gas mileage. I lost maybe 1 mpg with it mounted to my flush mounted Whisperbars. I drove through some very heavy rain and had a minimal amount of water inside under a thin rubber mat I had placed on the bottom of the box; none on my luggage got wet. This box works great to give me more carrying capacity when traveling with my two crated Dobermans.

Perfect fit on my 2014 Jetta Sportwagen. Lets me accomodate my lighter weight camping gear and leave the heavier stuff in the car. Very secure and aerodynamic and had very little impact on my mileage. My only issue was I could never find the serial number on my rocketbox.

It's the perfect size for the Subaru Outback. Sturdy, light, simple and elegant design. The newer mounting hardware makes it very easy to put on and take off.

if the box could slide up another inch the hatch would clear the back of the box. I have a 2017 Subaru Outback. I just received the box today and have not taken it out on the road.

my rooftop carrier! It was perfect for our golf clubs. etrailer was wonderful. Great communication and it arrived on expected date.

Great product by a great seller, not only was this seller the only place I could find with free shipping but the 160LB package came fast. Thank you you company saved me $xxx to $xxx on the shipping with no markup on the product. I will definitely be using you for future purchases.

This rooftop cargo carrier is exactly what I wanted. Well made and super easy to install. Thank you for the fast service.

Very easy to assemble and install

Really like this product, lots of space, wicked versatile. Grateful to the staff at trailer who helped me figure out my choices. Super easy to install on our 2012 Subaru Outback.

i purchased this last week to help keep the inside of my Outback clean. my husband put it together while watching tv, so assembly was easy. so far it has been used to take yard debris to the transfer station and to pick up bags of gravel and top soil. it seems very sturdy as long as you tighten the bolt with a ratchet--otherwise it is a little wobbly. we have an old thule bike rack with the same issue, so we keep a ratchet in the car. it does not weigh too much, so storage and on-and-off is easy.

Excellent value and utility. Clear and easy instructions. Assembly was quick. Great that it fits on both a 1-1/4 or 2-inch hitch. The accompanying threaded hitch pin keeps carrier wiggle free. Only suggestions—Secure bright orange poles (or other hitch aligner sticks) on back ends so you see them in your rear view mirror and drivers behind you are alerted to your extension. I bolted mine on through a side hole and used a cable tie to keep them from rotating. And for those concerned, get a short cable lock for security. Thread it through the receiver chain slots and one of the side holes of the cargo carrier.

Product fits just right on our 2011 Subaru Outback. Combined with the anti-rattle lock and etrailer cargo bag; a great combination. Rain and snow and no leaks. Just right...

Great cargo rack! Well made and strong. We modified ours to carry our ebikes on top of our generator and cooler. We've been from coast to coast with no problems.

After a year of dependable use the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box continues to perform to my needs, wants, and expectations. The 2 attributes that shine the most are ease of access/cargo loading (rear access vs. side) and ease of off/on (lightweight and access to the U-bolt hardware). While the overall quality of the materials and hardware are not quite "Excellent", they're darn close. For my needs I'm very happy with this cargo box and the price point makes it a better option the the more expensive brands. It may not be as cool and groovy as a Th*** or Yak*** box but it gets the job done.

The Roof Box was as described and fit great -- Nice. Shipping however was not good, trucker dropped it and the skid at the foot of the driveway -- It looked like it had been crushed and dropped. There was some slight damage, but we accepted it as complaining would be more trouble than it is worth. E Trailer should vet their carriers better -- no care taken with this shipment.

I haven't tested the cargo carrier yet, but this review is for etrailer customer service. After receiving the carrier, the square piece that goes into the hitch receiver was out of square, so it wouldn't go in. We need the carrier to head out of state to visit for Christmas and are leaving tomorrow morning 6am. After calling etrailer, they expedited shipping and the new part arrived today, even though tracking said tomorrow (which would be too late for our trip)! Thank you etrailer for saving Christmas!!! More review to come after the trip!

Love it! Fits perfectly to my Outback. No issues opening hatch and it folds up perfectly to keep me moving once I’m unpacked at the beach. Heavy duty construction too.
