Question:
I own a 2017 Lexus GX 460 Premium with factory flush rails. I will be traveling about 5000 miles with a Tepui Kukenam Ruggedized Sky 3 Tent. The total tent and sleeping bag weight is about 170 lbs. Can you recommend either a rail system or a rack system that will accommodate this tent. I appreciate any advice you can offer.

Expert Reply:
For your 2017 Lexus GX 460 with factory flush rails, I recommend the Rhino Rack Aero Roof Rack: Aero Crossbars - Item # RRVA126B-3, RCH Legs - Item # RRRCH6, and RCP Fit Kit - Item # RRRCP23-BK.
The Rhino Rack Aero system has three aerodynamic crossbars that are 49 inches long, vortex strips that reduce noise, and it comes with locks. It has a weight capacity of 220-lbs and is a confirmed fit for your vehicle.
Since you will be using it in conjunction with a tent, I recommend reviewing the owner's manual for your Tepui Kukenam Ruggedized Sky 3 Tent for instructions, recommendation, and weight limits. I also recommend reviewing your Lexus owner's manual or contact a local Lexus dealer to find out the weight capacity of your roof.
No matter what, be sure to find the weight capacity of your roof and stay within those limits for safety.
I have attached an article and a video for you to check out.
