Question:
My wife and I have 2 kids and a 100lb Akita which drove us to go from a Subaru Legacy to the Ascent. We take a lot of road trips and camp often. I am looking to improve our cargo management, wanting to go with something like a Yakima LockNLoad or Rhino Rack Pioneer platform. I am looking to platform due to cargo for camping/road trips, our kayaks in the summer, skis/snowboards in the winter, and still be able to mount the Rhino-Rack Batwing down the road. I would like a platform that would run the entire length of the factory rails to maximize space but we do have the panoramic sun/moon roof. Do you have any recommendations on roof platforms and sizes that would fit our needs?

I did a little digging around and it looks like the roof on your 2021 Suabru Ascent is around 63 inches, making the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Roof Tray # Y05045 with the TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y33TR, and the LockNLoad SL Adapter for Yakima SkyLine and TimberLine Towers # Y05042-2 near perfect.
This platform rack measures 60" long, 54" wide, and will be a perfect addition to your Subaru for all your camping and luggage needs.
This rack also has top channels so you can mount a ski/snowboard carrier # Y03096, kayak carrier # Y04084, and Batwing awning # RR33100 like you're planning.
