Hello fellow crosstrekers I’m interested in getting A roof basket to haul my beach stuff when I get to have vacation. I’ve seen the Thule it’s Subaru recommends however is very expensive and very heavy. I am a senior citizen and really don’t want anything too heavy that I can’t do myself. I have the crossbars on my car as that was an accessory that it came with so I just need the basket. Can anybody provide some information and pictures if possible of what you would recommend I really appreciate it and I can’t wait to post pictures of my 2021 crosstrek thank you Renee OK
I have the Curt basket. I don't find it too heavy and so far I've been able to manage getting it on and off without assistance. I guess I qualify as a "senior citizen", been retired for 12 years, even though I still haven't figured out what I'm going to do when I grow up.
Any reason not to get a hitch mounted basket? I've ordered one for my mother specifically for her "beach mess" aka chairs, blankets etc. so she can get herself to and from vacation without lifting anything up high and without destroying her interior with sand.
Most of the baskets and cargo boxes are pretty light weight ... the problem is just that they're inherently bulky and cumbersome. I'm a pretty tall guy, and even for me it's awkward to take my cargo box on and off by myself.
