Question:
Hello I have a 2022 stock from the dealer Subaru Forester Wilderness. I am interested in the Malone cross rails. I want to mount an awning on one side. I want to mount a rooftop cargo box as well on the other side. I already have the stock side rails on the car. What cross rails should I get to ensure I can mount both items and the rails are long enough to attach the awning? Many thanks!!

Hey Kathy, thanks for reaching out!
I recommend using the 58" Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL84AR for your 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness as it will have enough overhang to comfortably fit and use both a cargo box and an awning.
If you don't already have an awing and a cargo box then I recommend the following:
- Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning # RR32133
- 11 Cu Ft Thule Force XT Sport Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6356B
These products are great mid-range options that don't break the bank but also don't give you the bottom of the barrel when it comes to quality and functions. The cargo box may not allow you to open up your hatch all the way though so that's something you'll need to keep in mind. It requires 48-1/4" from where the front bar mounts back to the line in your roof where the hatch meets the roof. I know you don't have the crossbars yet, but you can guesstimate this with a tape measure by placing it close to the forward-most section of your raised rails back to the line we mentioned above.

Thank you! Just placed my order for the rails. Greatly appreciate you providing the direct links to the products. Do you offer a smaller cargo box by chance?
