Question:
Hi, I own a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk V6...it came with factory raised rails. I want to hook up my Yakima Skyrise tent on the roof. My question is I bought a Thule Evo cross bar and a Thule evo raised rail foot pack to mount the tent on. Will this work?

Expert Reply:
Your Yakima SkyRise HD tent, like part # Y07437, fits onto the Thule WingBar Evo crossbars # TH711400, with the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 that you have.
I also verified with Thule that the WingBars on your 2014 Jeep Cherokee have a 165 pound capacity. That's exactly what you need because the SkyRise requires at least 165 pounds of roof capacity. The roof doesn't need to support the entire 400 pounds the tent can because the ladder supports the rest.
So, in short, you're good to go.
