Hey Jake! Your 2019 Subaru Forester's roof has a 125 lbs capacity with the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack for Raised Side Rails item # RR87CP installed. Your raised roof rails have a 175 lbs capacity but that gets reduced to 125 lbs when you add in the 50 lbs weight of the Pioneer Platform.

The Pioneer Platform Rack item # RR87CP comes with everything you'll need to get it attached to your Forester's raised rails. I linked an installation video below so you can see how to get it setup.

What gear do you plan on mounting to the Pioneer Platform?
