Recommended Roof Rack Tent for SUV Roof Rack
Question:
Hey. Im new at the whole suv roof rack and tent situations. So I have some questions. I was looking at your roof bar options for the Mazda tribute 2002 and 2004. Also for the honda cv-r and was wondering if you can mount a rooftop tent on the bars instead of a rack. Could you please give me some advice on what bars I need, what to look for, ... ? Thanks in advance!

For your 2002 or 2004 Mazda Tribute, for a roof mounted tent like the Yakima SkyRise 2 Person Tent # Y07436 or 3 Person Tent # Y07437 you will need crossbars. If you have the raised factory side rails, then I recommend the Thule bars # TH711220 and Evo Foot Pack # TH710401 with Lock Cores # TH450400. This combination will work well for either tent option.
Unfortunately, if you have the flush mounted factory side rails, there is not a fit that will allow for the weight capacity needs of the rooftop tent.
