Yes, both the LoadWarrior with extension # Y07070-74 and the MegaWarrior with extension # Y07080-82 will fit the factory roof rack crossbars on a 2017 Subaru Forester. But one thing to consider is the weight of the carriers. The LoadWarrior weighs 32 pounds and the MegaWarrior weighs 52 pounds. So if your roof rack is rated for 150 pounds (according to Yakima) then you will be limited to 118 pounds of cargo with the LoadWarrior or 98 pounds with the MegaWarrior.
