Expert Reply:
The Kuat Sherpa part # SH12G will fit the factory hitch of your 2019 Subaru Forester and will hold the bikes high enough that it would not cause any damage to the bike from exhaust as this rack has quite a bit of rise built into the shank of it.
I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
