Prinsu Roof Rack | Subaru Ascent (2019-2022)

Prinsu has long been known as one of the industry's leading manufacturers and innovators when it comes to Roof Racks. The Prinsu Subaru Ascent Roof Rack builds on this long running legacy of quality and functionality.

Not only will the Prinsu Subaru Ascent Roof Rack look great, but it will provide a level of carrying capacity not found with other Roof Racks on the market. The Prinsu Roof Rack can be used to carry gear, mount a rooftop tent, or mount numerous accessories including the many Prinsu Roof Rack accessories Prinsu has designed to work exclusively with Prinsu Racks.

In terms of construction, the Prinsu Ascent Roof Rack is constructed out of laser cut aluminum which keeps the overall weight down while maintaining an impressive carrying capacity.

Each rack comes with two side rails, wind deflector (standard wind deflector or wind deflector with cutout for light bar), noise reducing trim (attaches to the wind deflector to dramatically reduce wind noise), cross bars (black anodized crossbars and one clear anodized crossbar used as a wind deflector mount), and all the necessary mounting hardware.

FAQs

What is the weight capacity of a Prinsu Subaru Ascent Roof Rack? The Subaru Ascent Prinsu Rack can support 600-800 pounds (static load capacity) and 300-400 pounds (dynamic load limit). Prinsu Racks have been field tested with Roof Top Tents and numerous accessories.

How much height does the Prinsu Design Roof Rack add to my Subaru Ascent? This Rack features a low-profile design and only adds about 1.6 inches to the overall height of your vehicle.

Does a Prinsu Subaru Ascent Rack affect mileage? This depends on your driving style, what you have mounted on the Roof Rack, among numerous other factors. If you just have the Prinsu Subaru Ascent Rack mounted on your vehicle you can expect the MPG to not change much at all since it only sits up about 1.6 inches. With accessories mounted such as a Roof Top Tent you will notice some small changes to your overall MPG.

How many crossbars come on the Prinsu Subaru Ascent Rack? The Roof Rack will come with 9 total black crossbars and 1 unfinished crossbar. The unfinished crossbar is designed to be installed out of sight behind the wind deflector.

How much wind noise does the Prinsu Subaru Ascent generate? Prinsu Racks are designed to be extremely aerodynamic. Thanks to their ultra low-profile design and angled wind deflector with edge trim to reduce further wind noise, the Prinsu Ascent Rack should not generate much noise at all. If it is generating noise there may be an issue with the installation.

What accessories can I mount to a Prinsu Subaru Ascent Roof Rack? One of the great things about the Ascent Rack is its ability to work with numerous accessories.

Installation

Installation of the Prinsu Subaru Ascent Roof Rack is not too difficult, but we recommend having a second person assist. The Subaru Ascent does have factory mounting holes on the roof designed to support the factory rail system. These factory mounting points are also used to mount the Prinsu Rack, but need to be drilled out to be larger. For further guidance, please see the detailed instructions below.
