For your 2016 Lexus RX 350 with factory with flush mounted rails that run front to back, I suggest the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRVA137S-2 mounted with the Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs, # RR37QX. This will provide a dynamic weight/moving load capacity of up to 165 lbs. so this meets the need of your Roof Top Tent. When used stationary or static they will accommodate higher weights.

When used in this fashion with a roof top tent the vehicles roof is typically going to be the weakest point so check with your manufacturer for the roofs capacity.
