Expert Reply:
I believe you are asking about how to find out if you will be able to open the hatch of your 2019 Subaru Outback Touring with the Thule Force XT XL Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6358B installed.
Determining this is very simple; all you need to do is measure from the middle of the front crossbar to the seam between the hatch and the roof. If this measurement is at least 51-1/8 inches you will be able to fully open the hatch of your '19 Outback without any interference. If you take a look at the accompanying diagram it shows the measurement needed for the Force XT cargo box.
I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well.
