5G Ford Ranger : Cab roof Weight limit ?

[BCRIDGE]

Hey 5Grs,
I have a US 2021 Lariat Tremor although believe all US models are the same, not sure if this changes for international models.

Trying to determine the max weight I can put on my cab/Prinsu rack. I am familiar with the dynamic static weight of the Prinsu rack. What I am trying to determine is how much weight I can put on top of it.
I found a number on the internet that said 80KGs or 176 lbs including the rack. Curious if anyone else has found anything different,
Let me know
Thanks

All I see is this generic advice in the owner’s manual. This section applies broadly to many Ford vehicles, rather than being specific to the Ranger.

ROOF RACKS AND LOAD CARRIERS

Note: If you use a roof rack, the fuel consumption of your vehicle is higher and you may experience different driving characteristics.

Note: Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions when you are fitting a roof rack.

Yup, saw that . not sure how Ford thinks that is in anyway useful. Prinsu’s dynamic weight is 300lbs. Not sure I would put that on the roof though.

I assume this is the "on the internet" source?

From Prinsu website FAQ -

What is the weight capacity on a Prinsu roof rack?

Our roof rack will hold a roof top tent and 2-3 people, so about 600 LBS static weight and about 300 LBS dynamic weight.
*disclaimer: we do not have our rack weight rated but we have field tested them.
