Best Roof Rack For 2017 Nissan Armada For Rooftop Tent

Question:

Hello, I have a 2017 Nissan Armada. I am looking into roof racks that can support a hard shell rooftop tent. I am unsure which product will work the best, as there are many options. The dimensions of the rooftop tent I am looking at is 82.7 x 52. I am unsure of the weight. Can you please point me in the right direction?

We can for sure point you in the right direction to get your 2017 Nissan Armada a roof rack so you can use your rooftop tent. What you want are bars long enough to handle your tent and also with a high weight capacity, and the best option for this is from Thule. The rack that fits your '17 Armada with raised side rails is the following:

- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711520

- Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401

This rack uses 60 inch crossbars, the longest for your Armada, and both the bars and feet are rated for 220 lbs dynamic (moving) capacity, which is more than enough for a rooftop tent.

It's also super easy to install and is the quietest rack you can get, so it hits all possible criteria for a rack. The only thing it doesn't come with are locks, which aren't mandatory but if you decide you want to lock the rack to your Armda you can add those with Lock Cores # TH450400.
