Your 2002 Ford Van will be able to handle of weight of a rooftop tent in conjunction with the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack - Gutter Mount - 100" Long x 62" Wide. part # RR43QX. In this case the ladder of the rooftop tent will actually act as an extra support to help with the weight of the tent and it's occupants. Per Pioneer, the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack - Gutter Mount - 100" Long x 62" Wide, part # RR43QX, maximum weight limit is your vehicle's maximum weight limit minus the weight of the platform. This platform weighs 109lbs.
