Can Thule TracRac Ladder Rack Work With Rooftop Tent

Question

Question:

I’m wanting to use this rack for a roof top tent. The tent is 110lbs and sleeping 2 would total 450-550 lbs. so the weight is fine. Thanks

While the fitment depends on the specific tent, the answer is yes, a rooftop tent can be mounted on and supported by the TracRac ladder rack:

- Thule TracRac TracONE Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH27000XTB

It has more than enough capacity, but the crossbars are 4 inches wide so your tent will either need to be able to clamp around that size bar, or fit in the t-slots of the rack. For example, you will need an adapter for a Thule tent such as the Thule Tepui Foothill Rooftop Tent # TH37HJ.

To mount the tent on the TracRac you will also need the Ladder Rack Adapter Kit for Thule Tepui Rooftop Tents # THXADAPT14.
