Recommended Car Awning For A 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
What awnings work with the factory included rail on the 2014 Subaru Outback. Thanks, so much ??

The car awnings that we currently carry require crossbars in order to mount so you would first need a roof rack. If you don't have one then I recommend the following components:
Yakima HD Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 55" Long # Y01156
TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y33TR
HD Bar SL Adapter # Y03541
From there you could use a straight awning like the Yakima SlimShady Awning # Y36VR you were looking at or go with a larger wraparound awning like the Rhino-Rack Batwing Awning - Driver's Side # RR33100 (passenger side # RR33200). The Batwing is obviously a bit more but offers quite a bit more shade than the SlimShady.
I've attached a few review videos where we'll go over the features and how each awning works. If you have any questions or still need help picking out what will fit your needs then let me know.
