The only difference between the two Malone Airflow 2 Roof Rack is the length of the crossbars. One rack has 50" crossbars, part # MPG215, the other, part # MPG216, has 58" crossbars. Both of these racks will fit your 2020 Subaru Forester. You just have to decide what length crossbars you prefer. This happens all the time with roof racks, because most of the time you can go one size up in crossbar length. The reasons you might size up depend on what you want to carry. In the past, I never recommended the shortest crossbars. The most popular crossbar length is always the length just above the shortest crossbar. That means it fits more vehicles. So if you get a new vehicle, you have a better chance of not having to replace your crossbars if your bars are the most popular length. You can always size down in crossbar length, but you can never size up in crossbar length. If your old car had a 50" crossbar but your new car needs a 58" crossbar, you are buying a new crossbar.
