Description

Sherpa The Fremont Roof Rack - Subaru Forester (2019+)

1/4” Aircraft-Grade Aluminum. Industry-Leading Toughness. Secure Gear Storage.

One of the Toughest Racks on the Market

The Sherpa The Fremont Rack is purpose-built for the 2019+ Subaru Forester, expanding on a lineup of tried-and-true rack systems. Engineered for durability, this rack is designed to get your gear to the places that matter most—from remote trailheads to coastal campsites.

Constructed with industry-leading ¼” thick aircraft-grade aluminum side panels and corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware, The Fremont allows you to explore more and worry less. It’s the ultimate storage solution for when your vehicle’s interior is full but your adventure is just beginning.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Subaru Foresters often run out of interior space for camping gear, and factory crossbars can feel flimsy or limit your mounting options.
The Sherpa Solution: The Fremont offers a rigid, ultra-tough platform with 8 extrusion crossbars. You can bolt gear directly to the bars or strap it to the side plates, ensuring total security without sacrificing your Forester’s sleek style.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"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."

- Mark T., Forester Owner & Camper

Headliner Removal: Please note that this rack requires headliner removal for installation. While in-depth instructions are provided for home installation, we recommend our shop or an authorized dealer for the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Why do I have to remove the headliner?

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.

+ Does this fit the 2025 Wilderness?

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.

+ Will this rack rust?

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.

+ Can I install this at home?

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

California Residents

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
