Ultra Low-Profile. 1,000 lbs Static Capacity. The Original Aluminum Rack.
Elevate Your 5th Gen OutbackThe Prinsu Subaru Outback Roof Rack is the gold standard for 5th Gen (2015-2019) owners looking to maximize utility without sacrificing aesthetics. Designed with a sleek, aerodynamic profile, this rack follows the natural lines of your Subaru while providing a rock-solid platform for all your adventure gear.
Crafted from high-grade aluminum and finished in a satin black textured powder coat, this rack is built to endure the harshest elements. Whether you're mounting a rooftop tent for a weekend getaway or hauling recovery boards and fuel cans, the Prinsu rack delivers the modularity and strength required for serious exploration.
Why Prinsu for your Outback?The Pain: Traditional roof baskets are bulky, cause significant wind noise, and often have low weight ratings that can't support a rooftop tent.
The Prinsu Solution: We include Noise-Reducing Edge Trim, maintain an ultra-low profile (adding only 2 inches of height), and boast a massive 1,000 lbs static load capacity.
Key Features: The Prinsu Advantage
Weighing in at only 48 lbs, this all-aluminum rack minimizes weight on your roof while offering maximum structural integrity.
Comes with 8 black 2x1 crossbars and 1 clear 2x1 crossbar (44"), allowing you to customize the layout to fit your specific gear.
With a side rail height of only 2-5/8", this rack adds just 2" to your vehicle's overall height, keeping drag and MPG impact low.
Choose between a standard wind deflector or a 40” cutout option to perfectly mount your auxiliary light bars.
Every rack includes noise-reducing edge trim to eliminate "wind whistle" during highway speeds for a more comfortable cabin experience.
Finished in a durable Satin Black Textured powder coat to resist corrosion, salt, and scratches from the trail.
A static load capacity of 1,000 lbs makes this rack the perfect foundation for any rooftop tent setup.
We provide fast, free shipping to the lower 48 states, delivering your adventure right to your doorstep.
Designed and Tested for the TrailPrecision matters. The Prinsu Outback Rack offers a massive 80" of usable length, ensuring you never have to leave gear behind. With 3/4" of clearance between your roof and the rack, it maintains a tight, integrated look while allowing for proper airflow and water drainage.

"I've gone through three different racks on my Outback and finally settled on the Prinsu. It's the only one that doesn't look like an afterthought. The noise reduction trim is a game changer—I can actually have a conversation on the highway again. Most importantly, it supports my hardshell tent with zero flex."

Designed specifically for the 5th Generation Subaru Outback. Fits the following years:
2015 Subaru Outback 2016 Subaru Outback 2017 Subaru Outback 2018 Subaru Outback 2019 Subaru OutbackPackage Includes: Full side rails, 9 total crossbars (8 black, 1 clear), wind deflector, edge trim, and all mounting hardware.
The Prinsu rack is one of the lowest-profile options available, adding only 2 inches to your vehicle's overall height. Most owners find that their Outback still clears standard 7-foot garage doors with ease, even with a moderate suspension lift.
For the 2015-2019 Subaru Outback, installation typically utilizes the factory mounting points. However, some specific Prinsu models may require minor drilling to secure plus-nuts for maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specific installation guide included for your model year.
Unlike standard basket racks, the Prinsu rack is designed with a specialized wind deflector. By installing the included noise-reducing edge trim flush against the roof line, wind noise is significantly minimized. Most owners report it is barely noticeable compared to traditional bar systems.
Because the crossbars are modular, you can choose to remove or slide the bars away from the sunroof area. This allows you to maintain full functionality and light from your sunroof while still having ample mounting space elsewhere on the rack.

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.
The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov

The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks
