How to carry more weight in your Subaru Outback

There isn't always enough room in the luggage compartment of your Subaru Outback to carry everything you need, especially if you have a large family or just like outdoor activities. Of course, you can increase the volume of the luggage compartment by folding the back row of seats, but if you need to constantly transport people, this method is not suitable.

However, to solve the problem with the lack of space, you can use not only the space inside your Subaru Outback, but also outside it. Here are a few tips on how to carry more cargo, even in a tiny sedan:

  • Take the spare out of the trunk and move it to the back door. You'll need to install a spare tire carrier to do this, so you can mount the spare tire outside. This method is best suited for owners of SUVs or pickup trucks.
  • Install a roof rack on your Subaru Outback. With the Spare tire carrier, you can put things that don't fit inside the vehicle and stow them on the roof.
  • Do you like traveling with bicycles? You don't have to disassemble them every time you travel, just install the bike rack. The bike rack attaches to the bumper and holds your bike securely in place, so that it can be transported even over long distances.
  • Perhaps the best way to transport your luggage is by towing it in a trailer behind the car. You can haul everything - bags, bicycles, motorcycles, boats, tents, and anything else that doesn't fit in the car. To do this, you need to install a towing hitch on your Subaru Outback. Remember, do not overload your car, it can be dangerous! Before you start towing, you can find out the maximum towing capacity of your Subaru Outback here.
