Question:
Is this capable of supporting a RTT on the tracks using load bars in the tracks?

Expert Reply:
While we do have some great options for you, I confirmed with my tech at Mountain Top that the EVO-M Tonneau Cover # MNT36FR tracks rails only have a maximum weight capacity of 250 pounds. With that small of a weight capacity, you won't have enough capacity for both the rooftop tent and the added body weight.
The absolute best route for the optimum capacity you need is to purchase a tonneau cover with a stake-pocket mounted ladder rack that doesn't utilize track rails. For example, if you have a 2022 Ford F-150, a great combination would be the TruXedo Sentry # TX1598316 along with the Thule TracRac SR # TH43002XT-501. This setup allows you to have 1,250 pounds of weight capacity with your roof top tent.
In order to get the right combination of ladder rack and tonneau cover for you, feel free to respond to this answer with your year/make/model, and I will be happy to recommend you the perfect fit.
