Yes, the Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6359B will fit great on the factory rack for your 2017 Subaru Forester and it won't impede the operation of the rear hatch. Thule has confirmed this on their end but if you want to double check just to be sure you just need 54-3/4" between the front crossbar and the line where the roof and hatch meet and you should have more than that.

Attached is a photo showing this fitment measurement as well as a review video of the Force XT XXL for you to check out.
