Best Subaru Crosstrek Roof Racks
To mount a roof top tent to your Subaru Crosstrek, you'll need (1) crossbars (the ones that go from one side of the car to the other), (2) that can handle the weight of the tent.
Check your Crosstrek owner's manual to ensure the dynamic weight capacity of the rack is higher than the weight of the tent you're interested in. If it is, you're good to go - all tents have universal mounting brackets.
If it isn't, there are some great Subaru Crosstrek roof racks you can add to your roof that will be able to handle anything you want to put up there.
