I have a solution for you. While the Rola Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 73-1/4" Long x 40-1/2" Wide x 5" Deep - 180 lbs (model 59504 with the 59505 extension) includes all the hardware needed for installation, you will need a roof rack system with crossbars on your 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon in order to use the basket. If you need a roof rack system that will fit the Rola Roof Cargo basket, the compatible parts depend on if you have factory flush rails or factory raised rails.

For a compatible roof rack system for your 2020 Subaru Outback with flush rails, I recommend the following parts:
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 # Y00425
- SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points, Flush Rails, and Track Systems - Qty 4 # Y53TR
- Landing Pad 27 for Yakima SkyLine And Control Towers - Qty 4 # Y46VR
- (Optional for extra security) Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 2) # Y07202

For a compatible roof rack system for your 2020 Subaru Outback with raised rails, I recommend the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - 58" Long # MPG216

With the above roof rack systems, you will be able to transport the Rola Roof Cargo Basket with cargo on your 2020 Subaru Outback Wagon.
