Hello Mark,

Thanks for writing in.

The Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Platform Rack # RR34FR34MR is rated for up to 330 lbs of dynamic load capacity and up to 826 lbs of static load capacity.

If you're considering a rooftop tent, the static capacity is the important number when the vehicle is parked and the tent is in use. The dynamic capacity applies while driving and includes the combined weight of the tent and any gear mounted on the rack. The 826 lb static rating provides a strong platform for many rooftop tent setups, but you'll also want to verify your vehicle manufacturer's roof load rating since the vehicle itself may be the limiting factor.

To make sure the setup is safe, compare the weight of the rooftop tent and any gear you'll carry against the rack's 330 lb dynamic rating, and also check your vehicle's roof capacity. The lower-rated component will determine the maximum allowable load.

What are you mainly going to use the rack for?
