Question:

Is it possible to make this product Rhino-Rack Backbone Mounting System for Pioneer Platform Item # RRRFRB1 but for the 2021 Subaru Outback TX? Or, would this product as is fit my 2021 Subaru Outback TX?

The Rhino-Rack Backbone Mounting System # RRRFRB1 is designed specifically for a Ford Ranger. The best system for your 2021 Subaru Outback Wagon is the Pioneer Platform Rack # RR77AB which comes with legs that will fit directly to the OEM rails on your vehicle.

The Backbone system would require the removal of the factory raised rails on your Outback Wagon. Rhino-Rack tries to avoid making modifications that big for their installations which is why they don't have a Backbone system that fits your vehicle.
