I emailed Front Runner today asking what the weight capacity for the roof rack is on a Ram 1500 crew cab, and received this answer:
Thank you for reaching out! We arent able to calculate an accurate rating for the roof rack systems due to multiple factors such as terrain, driving style and load distribution. We do recommend basing your load rating off of the OEM roof load ratings since our rack will always be stronger than the roof of the vehicle it is on.
Pretty much a non-answer, but I understand they probably have to say that for liability reasons (and, to their credit, they answered my question quickly).
I looked in the manual to find the OEM roof load ratings and found no numbers, but I did find this:
In order for the SABICs [Side Airbag Inflatable Curains] to work as intended, do not install any accessory items in your vehicle which could alter the roof. Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.
This rack permanently mounts with screws, and requires drilling into the roof of the vehicle.
Despite all this, I ordered the rack, and will mount a rooftop tent on it. I currently have the tent mounted over the bed with a Yakima Overhaul HD and a Retrax XR, which makes it tough to load bikes and such into the bed. So now, the tent will be above the cab.
Wish me luck.
A (not very good) photo of my current setup is below. I'll post a photo of the Front Runner setup once I've received it and installed it.
