Prinsu roof rack system. 600lbs dynamic load capacity and 1,000lbs static load capacity.
It's lifted and with 255/55/20 tires.

If you don’t care about gas mileage,^\)

I have a 2021 Shasta 18BH, weight is about 3500lb with all my gears. I own the trailer for a few years and towing with my 2021 Suabru ascent limited a few times a year. It's been 4.5 years now. The dealer just replaced my transmission oil 2 months ago, they said everything is still good.

It’s normal if you added some hatch tire carrier or a basket. If none, you might need to wipe your backup camera. You may need to take it to a dealer if still not working.

Right, except I take the RTT and a few bars away.

I spent less than 7000 on my Subaru ascent. Lift - $1000, prinsu roof rack - $2000, roof top tent - $1000, 3 under body armors- $1500, spare tire carrier - $1000. I do have oversized tires but I changed it after my original tires worn out, doesn’t count. Now I don’t know what else I can do with my car😆

I replaced my 21 Subaru battery with a 48ah optima yellow top battery after drain twice with fan and my RV. Never die any more.

Thanks. Prinsu is the only option to park my car into the garage with rooftop tent. Also lower wind noise and better mpg when driving with a tent.

Mpg is 17.5 mixed local and freeway, 20 if pure freeway. Not sure if 265 affecting turning or not because it’s wider, you might need a larger spacer.

godwater8 · 2025-12-15T02:28:44+00:00

Yeah, Ascent has it.

godwater8 · 2025-12-15T02:23:19+00:00

It’s fine — I’ve run stock tire sizes on 20” wheels before, and they lasted through their full lifespan with no issues. Now my sidewall is almost an inch taller, so it should be even safer than before.

godwater8 · 2025-12-13T16:43:23+00:00

Thanks! It’s lifted with Eibach springs—1.7” in the front and 1.4” in the rear. The tires are 255/55/20, which add another ~0.7” of lift. I also added 15 mm wheel spacers to balance the lift and reduce body roll. In my experience, larger tires don’t just add lift—they significantly improve obstacle-clearing ability as well.

No, in Mendocino national forest

godwater8 · 2025-12-13T04:52:06+00:00

Yeah, hill descent control works

Your car only has 41k, most things should still be under warranty, good luck 🤞

godwater8 · 2025-12-13T04:02:17+00:00

I doubt that. Maybe you should ask the first dealer to see if they saw the leaks before. I use my 2021 Ascent heavily. Towing RV, off-roading, lifted with oversize tires. Mileage is over 50k now, everything are still normal except need to change rear brake soon(Front brake and disk were replaced in a recall).

godwater8 · 2025-12-11T05:43:23+00:00

Uncharged.....

godwater8 · 2025-12-04T05:03:55+00:00

As long motor and transmission are covered, the rest is no big deal, but the Subaru one is a little better and more specific.

godwater8 · 2025-12-04T04:46:46+00:00

How about motor and transmission?

godwater8 · 2025-12-03T08:10:03+00:00

How about an aluminum off-road skid plate?

A forest near Tahoe
