Hi Wade!

We actually have quite a few aero style roof racks that will fit your new 2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness (congrats!!!). I have them split up for you to check out below:

Economy:
Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised Side Rails - Aluminum - 50" Long - Black # MAL74AR

Mid Range:
Yakima TimberLine Roof Rack for Raised Rails - CoreBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - Qty 2 # Y62GD
Rhino-Rack Sportz Roof Rack for Raised Rails - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 # RR37UG

Premium:
Yakima TimberLine Roof Rack for Raised Rails - JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 # Y39YD
Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack for Raised Rails - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 # TH54ZA

To be perfectly honest, these are all pretty similar to each other. They all attach the same way and they all have 50" crossbars. The Malone AirFlow2 # MAL74AR, Rhino Rack Sportz # RR37UG, and the Yakima JetStream # Y39YD all have 165 pounds of capacity, but the Yakima CoreBar # Y62GD and Thule WingBar Evo # TH54ZA both have a higher capacity at 220 pounds. With the exception of the Rhino Rack, these also have lifetime warranties (the Rhino Rack has a 5 year warranty).

With all that being said, I would actually go with the Malone AirFlow2 # MAL74AR. It's the least expensive of all the options available, it has plenty of carrying capacity, it clamps on super easily, it has a great warranty, and the kicker that pushed me towards it... it's the only one that come with locks and keys included. All the other ones would need to have those purchased separately. I think it's the one to go with.

What are you wanting to carry on your roof?
