Love the Outback, but when is Subaru going to dump the junky and ugly roofrack on the recent Outbacks?
My current outback and aging and I would like to get a new one, but I am waiting for them to go back to a more normal roofrack system.
The rack is a buzz kill for me. I mountain bike, windsurf......
you can't load 3 boards and a box for the sails, boom and mast. It's not wide enough. It is also seriously close to the max weight. The arms also wiggle.... lets see I'm going to put two 4,000.00 bikes on this?
I looked at the 2013's crossbar. They can be moved back. however if you need a wider crossbar you will have to work with the arms in the parallel position. In this position you are still limited in your bar spacing as you are with the 2011,2012's.... this is about 20" - 22".
This makes me wonder. Does the designing engineers use these products? Yakima and Thule must just cringe when Subaru comes to them for accessories.
Now the forester, impreza, they both have racks that can be built on.
Subaru just needs to stay out of the rack business and just install a strong rail. keep it simple.
