Hello Jeff, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack # TH52ZA is capable of mounting a rooftop tent on your 2024 Subaru Ascent. There are a few things to keep in mind though.

First, you will want to make sure the tent can attach to a standard aero crossbar, or to a T-channel.

Second, you will want to make sure the weight of the tent and sleepers does not exceed the weight capacity of your roof. Your owners manual should tell you the roof static and dynamic capacity. As long as you stick to that you will be good to go.

What roof tent model are you looking at specifically?
