It is hard to say, prinsu does not show a dynamic load capacity and Rino Rack has already been proven to have some issues with the mounting. Whether or not they still do it I know in the past they used to pop rivets to secure the backbone system to the roof of the vehicle. Now some may think that's okay but in reality it's not holding that much and can still come loose very easily. That's the last thing you need to have happened when you're going off road. They may have changed this recently but I am not 100% positive.

I got confirmation from prinsu the static load capacity is close to that of the rhino rack 600-700 lbs. I ordered the prinsu rack as it does appear to have much better mounting. Thank you for the input!

For what its worth, I find my Prinsu topper rack to be extremely versatile and in general I love it. Its pretty pricey for what it is, but its made really really well, install was easy and it has a very low profile. You wont regret the purchase

Well even though the static load is nice you still need to know what the dynamoc load is. Why do I say this? Well static load is when the truck is just sitting there. Dynamic is when the truck is moving including going Offroad. I can guarantee it will be lower than static but when you are moving the load will put more stress on the rack and roof all together.
