Question:
I have a two part question please: 1. I have a 2013 Subaru Outback and Id like to install and use a Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading. Can you please tell me if its possible to do this 2. I may upgrade my 2013 Outback in a year or two it only has 60K miles on it, and if I do, to a 2020 Subaru Outback, will all the parts in question one be compatible with the new Outback? Many thanks,

Helpful Expert Reply:
To install the Thule Assisted Kayak Carrier Hullavator part # TH898 on your 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon with raised side rails you'll need a roof rack like the Malone AirFlow2 part # MPG216 which would work great on the 2013 and also will work great on a 2020 model as long as you get the version of the vehicle with raised side rails.
I attached an install video for this on a similar 2015 Subaru Forester for you to check out as well.
