The differences between the older Thule AeroBlade and the newer WingBar Evo crossbars have to do with the design, but fitment-wise they are the same. Since Thule has 47" bars listed as a fit for your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon Touring and there is limited access underneath the crossbars for the feet to mount you'll need to stick with the 47" bars for a Thule crossbar setup:

47" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711220 or Silver - # TH711200
Evo Flush Rail Feet - # TH710601
Fit Kit - # TH186047
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 (optional)

If you're needing that 60" crossbar length for your application then we can get you there with the Yakima JetStream roof rack system that is comparable in quality to Thule and there isn't limited access to the underside of the bars:

60" JetStream Crossbars - Black # Y00426
SightLine Towers - # Y64AR
SightClip Fit Kit - # Y32CR
Lock Core Kit - # Y07204 (optional)

If you let me know what you plan on using the roof rack for I can make some recommendations for you.

The solution for you is to use the ProBar Evo instead of square bars because as you stated the bottom slots of the square bar won't accommodate your fit. The Thule ProBar Evo has the slots that run the full distance of the bars, so the bars can…

The ShowDown part #Y04081 has the weight capacity and is wide enough to carry the kayaks you mentioned so it would work well. Then for a wider bar roof rack that fits your 2016 Ford Expedition EL the Thule Rack part numbers #TH711500 and #TH710401 is…

The Yakima ShowDown Kayak or SUP Carrier #Y04081 requires at least 3-1/2 inches of crossbar overhang beyond the feet/towers for proper operation. If the existing 58 inch bars on your F-250 overhang by just 1/16 of an inch then you will need bars that…
