Hi, everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today, we'll be taking a look at the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Rooftop Box and seeing how it fits on the top of our 2024 Subaru Outback. Now, if you're looking to expand the cargo space of your Outback and you want to utilize that factory roof rack since you already have it, the SkyBox is gonna be a great way to do it, and there's a number of reasons for that. For one, it's a pretty sizable box, giving you 16 cubic feet of storage space. But two, the factory roof rack sits really close to the top of the roof on your Outback, and that can present problems for certain clamp round accessories just not having the room or maybe making contact with that painted surface on your roof. The low-profile clamps on the SkyBox are gonna work great with your factory bars on your Outback, making it, in my opinion, the perfect solution.

Hey, it's Trevor with etrailer. Today we're looking at the etrailer cargo carrier on the back of our 2023 Subaru Outback. Now on this cargo carrier, we're gonna have a 500 pound weight capacity that will need to be evenly distributed. So if you have a generator or a cooler that you're taking on a quick trip, I would recommend putting that in the middle as to not damage your cargo carrier. Now more about the cargo carrier, it is made up of a high steel alloy as well as a nice matte black powder coating on it. This powder coating will eventually start to chip away, so I'd recommend getting some rust resistant paint to keep the rack healthy over time.

Hi, it's Trevor with Etrailer. Today we're looking at the Reese cargo carrier on the back of our 2023 Subaru Outback. On our cargo carrier, it's gonna have a 500 pound weight capacity, and it's gonna have these rails to tie down any cargo to. I wouldn't recommend tying it down to the floor, as it is a little flimsy. Now, this thing does rattle a little bit, so this doesn't come with a hitch pin, we just threw one in, but I would recommend an anti-rattle one, as that would be preferable. And the only other part of this is it's gonna have these slots here for your light kits, in case you end up blocking the taillights.

If you're looking to absolutely max out on what your Outback can handle in terms of size for a roof box, this is a pretty good place to start. Let's check it out. But the reason I say that is because you're cutting it really close with this box on your hatch clearance.

Now the Motion 3 comes in two different color variations for this large size they have. We have today the Titan finish, which is just a dark gray, and then, of course, just black. So if you don't like the way this looks with this particular color Outback, or maybe your own, if you've got a different color, that's okay. Standard black is available, but for people that want to match the gray to maybe accent a certain color on their Subaru, or match, if they've got a gray finish, this might be a really unique option.

Very easy to strap things down because there's a plethora of different tie down points in the form of all these rungs.

Hey, everybody. Cooper here from etrailer, and today we're going to be taking a look at our Flint Hill Goods cargo carrier our 2023 Subaru Outback. One of the big advantages to this is going to be that it is made of aluminum, which is weather resistant. And compared to a carrier of a similar size, this is going to be a lot more lightweight. So, if you wanted to hang this on your wall in the garage when you're not in use, there'd be no issue being able to hang that. Although our rack is made out of aluminum, there are just a few points on it where these thin little pieces are that I would not really use for securing down tie down points.

Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 rooftop box and seeing how it fits on our 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon. So one thing I do wanna note is that this roof box does work with your factory bars. That's how we have it installed today. You can totally use it with aftermarket crossbars if you have those too. But since your Outback probably is gonna come with factory raised rails and these factory crossbars it is important to know that it fits because a lot of crossbars from the factory are a lot thinner and sometimes don't work with as many accessories.

So any sort of roof-mounted carrier is gonna be an excellent option to get some extra stuff with you on your trip. Whether you're looking to make extra leg room for your passengers inside or there's just not enough room for the stuff you have, up top is the next best place to put it, especially if you've got the factory crossbars, which a lot of these Outbacks do have. This is gonna work excellent with those factory crossbars, which is good to know, because with those thinner bars, a lot of times other accessories may not work with them.

Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Inno Shadow 16 Rooftop box and seeing how it fits on the top of our 2022 Subaru Outback. So I do wanna point out right away that we are using this with factory crossbars. That's pretty important to note because sometimes factory crossbars will have a lower weight capacity than aftermarket ones and generally they're gonna be a lot smaller, so fitting certain accessories is going to be a bit more difficult. So if something works with factory crossbars which a lot of these Subarus have, it's good to know because you wanna make sure the accessory you're looking at works with those. Now it's gonna work just fine with aftermarket crossbars too, pretty much anything will but with these ones you wanna know that it's working with those.
