Will The Thule Tepui Rooftop Tent Be Compatible With 160lb Capacity Factory Crossbars  

Question:

Expert Reply:

Both the roof and crossbars have to have a minimum weight capacity of 165lbs to be compatible with the
Thule Tepui Explorer Autana 3 Rooftop Tent with Annex # TH8001ASK05 so your 160lb capacity factory crossbars would not be enough. Instead you'll need an aftermarket roof rack with a higher capacity.

If you have flush mounted rails then you'll need the following components:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA126B-2
Custom RCP Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack RC and RV Series Roof Rack Legs - Fixed Mounting Points # RR42SV
RCH Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars and Pioneer Platforms - Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 # RRRCH4

For raised rails you'll need the following components:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA126B-2
Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 # RRSX100
