The Forester may be a good option. It still has the older rack system with the wider span and is about the same height as the new Outback. I can still lift that height now but I doubt I will lift that high in 10 years and I like to drive cars for about 200,000 before I give up on them so this is a long term thing. Thanks for the input.
