Hi Dennis; you aren't going to find information on the static load listed from the roof rack manufacturers. Our general guidelines for tents like the Y79XR are that the roof rack must have a minimum load capacity of 165 lbs which this rack does have. However, roof top tents require racks mounted on raised side rails, fixed mounting points, or flush side rails. They are not compatible with roof racks for naked roofs that clamp to the door jambs like the # TH48KG.
I don't see any requirements or instructions listed on the Topoak site, and it isn't something that we carry, so I would confirm this is with Topoak just to be sure. The Thule rack is a complete roof rack so if they ok using a roof rack that mounts to the door jamb this comes with everything you need under a single part number. If they say the tent will not work with a roof rack for a naked roof your only options are to add tracks to the top or mount it on a ladder rack.

unfortunately TopOak cannot give any clear answer they only showed concern about weight capacity so far... how do I add tracks to the roof? I don't see the option at Ford, they offer Yakima roof rack system i believe it's similar to Thule... do you have the same Yakima ? although I like the more cause it a bit lower profile...
