Rooftop tent preparation: risks and safety rules

Installing a rooftop tent requires checking the vehicle's static and dynamic roof load ratings, which are listed in the owner's manual. Exceeding these limits can damage the vehicle or increase rollover risk. For example, the 2026 Subaru Outback has a static load of 800 pounds and a dynamic load of 220 pounds, while the Ford Bronco has a dynamic rating of only 110 pounds. Properly securing the load is critical: according to AAA, improperly secured loads caused about 200,000 crashes from 2011 to 2014, including 500 fatalities.
