Key Features: The Fremont Advantage

Equipped with black oxide stainless steel hardware to resist rust and corrosion in the harshest environments.
Secure gear by bolting into extrusion crossbars or strapping directly to the heavy-duty side plates.
Comes standard with a black textured powder coat and black anodized crossbars for a rugged, stealth look.
Maximized mounting real estate with eight crossbars for everything from recovery boards to roof-top tents.
CAD-designed to follow the roofline of the 6th Gen Forester for a factory-plus aesthetic and low wind noise.

1/4" Aluminum Thickness 8 Total Crossbars 6 Mounting Brackets SS Stainless Hardware WHAT'S INCLUDED:
"The Fremont completely transformed how I use my Forester. I was nervous about the headliner removal, but the instructions were spot on. The rack is rock solid—I've had a full load of camping gear and a storage box up there through 60mph crosswinds and didn't hear a peep. It feels like it's part of the car's frame."

The Fremont is designed specifically for the 2019–2026 Subaru Forester. Please note the specific requirements for Wilderness trims below:
2025 Wilderness Versions ONLY: You must purchase the 5th Gen Forester Rack. The Wilderness is the only trim level that did not transition to the new generation for the 2025 model year.For all other trims from 2019-2026, The Fremont is the perfect fit to expand your storage capacity and off-road capability.
To achieve the industry-leading strength Sherpa is known for, the rack mounts directly to the vehicle structure. Accessing these points requires dropping the headliner. While it adds time to the install, it ensures the rack is far more secure than "clip-on" alternatives.
No. The 2025 Wilderness Edition Forester uses the previous (5th Gen) body style. For that specific trim, you will need to purchase the Sherpa 5th Gen Forester rack instead of The Fremont.
No. By using aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel hardware with a black oxide finish, The Fremont is designed to withstand salt, rain, and snow without the rust issues common with steel racks.
Yes. Many customers install The Fremont at home using our in-depth instructions. However, because it involves the interior headliner, some prefer to have it done by our shop or an authorized dealer.

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

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
I love my trailhead roof top tent so much. It is so warm and spacious. Itās very simple to setup and put away. Extremely happy with my purchase. I waited to write a review till I used it multiple times so I could tell if I really liked it or not. Thereās not a thing I would want to change.
Give my jeep a solid sturdy look. Installation was ok if you follow the instructions properly.
Definitely a good product. Its super easy to install with instructions. It opens up nicely and shade coverage is good.
We have been on multiple trips with this tent. Its stable and comfortable with a good space for 2+ person to sleep in. Easy to setup and can be taken down under 10 minutes. The tent is waterproof and windproof and can be used during the winter season. Its worth the money and we are overall satisfied with our tent.
Material is of good quality. Easy to set up and teardown.
Looks great and very easy to install. Fits perfectly with no cutting on my Colorado 5 1/2 ft bed. As I unfolded the cover for the first time and each panel locked in place perfectly, I thought, Wow, that was easy.
