Will SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box Fit 2020 Subaru Outback Factory Roof Rack

Question:
Will this fit a 2020 Subaru Outback with the factory roof rack system? If Im measuring correctly the crossbar spread is about 30.5 inches.

Hi Ryan; the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box # SR7018 requires crossbar spreads of 23-5/8", 25-7/8", 27-7/8", and 29-7/8" to fit. At 30-1/2" it will not work. However, I believe the factory crossbars on your 2020 Outback can be adjusted along the rails. There should be a screw on top at each end were the crossbars attach that will allow you to loosen the feet and move them. If that is the case, you can get the crossbars set exactly where you need them to use this roof box.

Hey Ryan, did you end up adjusting the crossbars on your Outback to make the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box fit? Knowing how that worked could help others trying to fine-tune their roof rack setup.
