What are the Best Crossbars for a 2024 Subaru Ascent w/ Raised Roof Rails?
Published 10/03/2023 >
Question:
Which set of crossbars will be the best for a cargo box? I do not want them to over hang the side of the rails on my roof. I have a 2024 Subaru Ascent with the raised rails that run along the sides of the roof.

Expert Reply:
Since you are using the roof rack for a cargo box, the best set of crossbars is going to be the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack item # JA7980. These crossbars attach directly to your Subaru's raised rails and sit flush with the top of them. They will not extend past the rails.
The Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack item # JA7980 is confirmed to fit your 2024 Subaru Ascent. They have a 176 lbs maximum capacity. I have linked an installation video below.
