Weight Capacity of Thule Roof Racks  

Updated 07/07/2020 | Published 01/14/2017

Question:

What is the weight capacity of the factory roof rack plus this Thule system? Is there a higher capacity for a parked vehicle than a moving vehicle considering a roof top tent.

Expert Reply:

The Thule roof racks only have one weight capacity and that is 165 lbs which typically is higher than the roof capacity of the vehicle. You wouldn't get a higher capacity when using a roof tent. Especially when you consider that people would be moving around in the tent which would simulate the weight changes of a moving vehicle.

Yes, a Thule roof rack can handle a roof top tent. Typically the tent itself will list the capacity requirements on the crossbar setup as well.
