When going camping, the top of a vehicle is a great place to carry cargo especially in a compact SUV like the Subaru Forester. ABC News reported the newly-remodeled 2019 Subaru Forester Sport is one of Edmund’s 5 Best all-in-one camping-friendly vehicles on the market for adventure enthusiasts. Just bolt on a roof rack, load it up with your camping gear and you are set for a wilderness adventure in one of our National Parks.
Edmunds says the new 2019 Subaru Forester Sport is their top pick for the best 2-Row Crossover/SUV as best all-in-one camping vehicle. It beats out numerous other vehicles like the Toyota RAV4 Adventure, Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, Nissan Rogue, Ford Escape, Chevy Equinox, and Volkswagen Tiguan.
Subaru Forester is particularly camping-friendly and comes standard with the brand’s Symmetrical all-wheel-drive system and the compact SUV can be used for weekend adventures like getting to the trailhead for hiking, mountain biking, trail running, backcountry fishing trips and getting you far away from civilization for camping.
Rooftop Tents
Subaru owners have been installing rooftop tents for years, and now the Japanese automaker has finally revealed an official weight rating to go by. The new-generation Forester has an in-motion maximum weight of 176 pounds on the roof rack and a static rating (when you're parked) of 700 pounds.

This is the most useless article I have read in years. Best for camping? Ok, why? How about some details and not just a bunch of repetitive conclusions?

What if I told you you can just sleep IN the vehicle or, you know, in a tent or hammock on the ground? Rooftop tents add weight and drag and are largely just signaling to people.

It was as useless an article as this one is.
