Retrax XR with overhaul HD adjustable on 19 screw here.

500 lb on road, 300 off road capacity.

Decided against the ruggedized Autana 4 because at 240, and about 50 for an awning, it was pushing me too close to the 300. Was also wanting to leave capacity for a skinny warrior by Yakima too, perhaps.

If closer to the 300, would keep the racks set as low as possible. And would manage the offroading, particularly the side to side.

I think I'm going to go with a lighter tent because I don't want to baby my way around quite as much. I'm guessing that the more compliant rapt suspension probably helps a lot though.

Appreciate you already have the tent, (and a very nice one at that), so you'll be near the top of the range. I think even the most bulletproof rack system will be limited by the strength of the box.

Be good to know what you land on. Good luck and enjoy.

Pics of some of your other rigs would be great. I appreciate the info as well guys.

I’ve got a retrax pro with a Yakima Outpost HD for my CVT tent (240lbs). So far so good.

LOL. It was a good day


Btw for the guys who are interested, I started a build thread with more pictures of the bed rack mounting with the tonneau cover installed. Take a look if you want.

I'm a huge fan of this FrontRunner set up as its easy to remove when your not taking the tent around and it compatible with a roll-top tonneau
