Question:
The Yakima Landing Pad 15 seems to be the go to solution for adding a more robust rack system to the Subaru Outback. This part appears to work for most prior year Outbacks up to an including 2019, but any confirmation about it working on 2020 model year Outbacks?

I checked with the manufacturers, and the only fit for a roof rack for a 2020 Subaru Outback as of fall 2020 is from Thule, and will work with the factory installed crossbar system with flush rail foot, or stowable rack system. The rack is made up of the following parts:
- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Silver # TH711200 or Black # TH711220
- Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars - Fixed Point # TH460R
- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet # TH145151
- Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders (Optional) # TH450400
This will give you a rack that is as high-quality as the Yakima, and more robust than the factory rack that Subaru offers. The WingBar Evo is a quiet, easy-to-use, durable roof rack that will give you the ability to carry whatever cargo you need.
