As far as crossbar width, there is no set maximum that is set by manufacturers. It truly depends on the models of crossbars they offer for your 2019 Subaru Forester. Accessories that you mount on your crossbars will have different compatibilities based on the width of the crossbars you choose. If you have an accessory in mind, I would be happy to assist with crossbar compatibility.

If you are curious about crossbar length, our fitguide provides compatible lengths of crossbars for your 2019 Subaru Forester that will not violate local traffic laws. If your vehicle has a bare roof, here is the longest crossbar system that will fit on your vehicle:

- Yakima HD Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 55" Long - Qty 2 # Y01156
- SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points, Flush Rails, and Track Systems - Qty 4 # Y53TR
- HD Bar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers - Qty 4 # Y03541
- Landing Pad 22 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers - Qty 4 # Y00248
- (optional for extra security) Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204

If you have raised factory rails, the longest crossbar system is the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails - Aluminum - Black - 53-3/8" Long # C18118.
