Our Review: Tuyoung’s Superior Roof Rack for Outback Wilderness

We recently put the Tuyoung 330lbs Roof Rack Cross Bars through their paces on a 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness, and we’re thoroughly impressed. These all-aluminum crossbars are specifically designed for the Wilderness trim (2022-2026 models), providing a perfect fit right out of the box.

Installation took us less than 20 minutes without any drilling or modifications. The heavy-duty construction feels substantial, yet the aluminum build prevents adding unnecessary weight to the vehicle. If you’re a Wilderness owner looking to maximize your Subaru’s utility, these crossbars are definitely worth considering.

Our Hands-On Review of the Polaris Lock & Ride Yukon Rack

After putting the Polaris Lock & Ride Yukon Adventure Rear Rack to the test on our Sportsman 570 for several weeks, we’re impressed with its robust construction. Designed specifically for Sportsman 6×6 570, X2 570, and Touring 570 models (OEM part 2882084), this rack delivers on its promise of versatility and durability.

What we loved most was the tool-free installation-the Lock & Ride system truly lives up to its name. We were able to mount and dismount the rack in minutes when needed. The rack’s 75-pound load capacity handled our camping gear with ease during our recent mountain excursion.

The powder-coated finish has held up well against scratches and weather exposure. While the price point is higher than universal options, we found the perfect fit and integration with our Polaris ATV more than justified the investment.
