Tuyoung Roof Rack Cross Bars for Subaru Crosstrek 2018–2023 — Lockable, 300 lb Capacity

Tuyoung lockable roof rack cross bars are a vehicle-specific aluminum roof cargo system that fits Subaru Crosstrek (2018–2023) and carries up to 300 lbs while adding anti-theft security and tie-down points.

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for raised side rails on Subaru Crosstrek (2018–2023) and compatible Impreza models (2017–2023), these cross bars deliver a stronger, quieter, and more secure option than universal roof racks. Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum with reinforced plastic brackets and an integrated metal lock, the Tuyoung bars focus on load capacity, weather resilience, and simple installation. They are not compatible with Crosstrek 2024 models or vehicles without raised side rails.

How much weight can these cross bars safely carry?

These Tuyoung cross bars are engineered to support up to 300 pounds (about 136 kg) of distributed weight on raised side rails. That rating reflects the combined strength of the aluminum bars and reinforced brackets when installed according to instructions.

• Maximum recommended load: 300 lbs (136 kg) distributed evenly
• Suitable for luggage, roof boxes, bikes (with adapters), ladders, and camping gear
• Check vehicle roof load limits in your owner’s manual before exceeding

What security and anti-theft features are included?

Tuyoung improved on the typical OEM design by adding a metal lock to the crossbar assembly for better theft resistance. Each installation includes keyed lock hardware that secures the bars to the raised rails, reducing the chance of removal without a key.

• Built-in metal lock for each bar to deter theft
• Durable bracket construction resists tampering and wear
• Keyed cylinders included; keep spare keys in a safe place

How do these bars affect wind noise and driving comfort?

The bars use a low-profile, streamlined shape to minimize aerodynamic drag and wind noise compared with bulkier aftermarket racks. The aircraft-grade aluminum profile helps maintain cabin quietness at highway speeds while still providing strong load support.

• Low-profile design reduces wind buffeting and noise
• Aerodynamic crossbar shape for improved airflow
• Solid construction helps prevent rattle and vibration

Is installation difficult and what tools or steps are required?

Installation is intended to be straightforward and vehicle-specific so the bars fit like original equipment. The package includes clear labels, a simple instruction video, and hardware; most users can install the system with basic hand tools within an hour.

• Direct-fit design for raised side-rail Subaru Crosstrek (2018–2023)
• Clear, labeled parts and an installation video for guidance
• Basic tools required (socket or wrench set); no drilling needed

Who is this for? These Tuyoung lockable roof rack cross bars are aimed at Subaru Crosstrek and compatible Impreza owners who want a stronger, quieter, and more secure alternative to universal roof racks. Choose this set if you need a high-capacity solution for regular travel, outdoor gear, or professional cargo transport and prefer a direct-fit product with built-in locking and tie-down points.
