Question:

I have a 2020 Subaru Forester and I wanted to put the Yakima Y00448-00449 crossbars on it, it already has factory raised roof rails, is there a recommended roof basket to use with those crossbars? Thank you,

Expert Reply:

The Rhino-Rack StealthBar Roof Rack # JA7973 is a perfect match for the raised side rails on your 2020 Subaru Forester.

There isn't a particular basket that works best with this setup, and your choices are actually pretty numerous. A cargo basket I really like and one that will work great with these bars on your Forester is the Yakima LoadWarrior # Y07070.

This is a nice and roomy basket that features a 140 pound weight capacity, a galvanized steel construction that will resist rust and corrosion over time, and an integrated fairing piece at the front to maintain a quiet ride. The front and rear crossbars on the basket itself can also be used to mount roof rack accessories like a bike rack or kayak carrier.
