I checked with Thule and the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6359B can fit your 2019 Toyota 4Runner with the factory roof rack but you'll also have to install their Thule Aeroblade Edge Roof Rack # TH7503-TH7503 since they do not recommend attaching to the factory bars. Although I looked at the TRD crossbars and I don't see why it would be an issue.

Now Yakima does have all of their cargo boxes as a fit directly to your factory TRD bars so for a similar size box the Yakima SkyBox 21 part # Y07337 is a direct fit and would work great. I like the Yakima hardware a little better than the Thule since it allows you to set the box on to the rack and then slide it back on to the bars.
