Question:
Hello there, I want to place this rack on top of my 2018 Toyota Tundra crewmax. It is a naked roof. Would I be able to use this rack system and place a roof top tent on top with 2 people in the tent? The type of roof top tent that doesnt fold open to place half of the weight on the ladder. Specifically the roofnest sparrow eye roof top tent. Please let me know if that would work with the weight limit. Thank you.

The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA150B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK079 is a great option for a 2018 Toyota Tundra. It like most roof racks has a 165 lb weight capacity. Therefore, you wouldn't be able to use a rooftop tent unless it offered additional support from a ladder like the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent part # Y07436.
The only option I can see to use a roof mounted tent which doesn't have any sort of support from a ladder would be to mount it on a ladder rack over the bed, the Yakima OverHaul HD Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # Y01151-58 or part # Y01151-5868 for models with the utili-track.
