This certainly doesn't exceed the static load rating of most vehicles, but unless you are only using this in your driveway, the dynamic load rating still important.

They're also much more convenient than truck bed tents or anything that connects to a vehicle, as those are all much more of a pain if you want to move locations or go into town for the day or something. If you camp enough it's worth the cost, in my book, and you have a suitable vehicle, although there are models that weigh under 100lb and can work for most any car . They hurt your MPG if you drive a lot of miles with one, but they save space in your vehicle since you aren't packing a tent.
Other downsides: not big enough for families (there are soft-top rooftop tents that can accommodate a family of four), not super convenient to put on and take off (mine mostly stays on through the summer) as this style is heavy, and a shocking number of strangers will ask you "What's that?
This is not a know brand but this is a pretty good looking tent for the price. There are many alternatives available, some from known off-road and camping brands, and lots from semi-generic Chinese brands, most of which are actually okay and pretty similar. Just be aware that factory roof rails may not support something like this. Mine sits on a steel bed cap on my Honda Ridgeline, and I see lots of them on bed racks on various pickups, as well as on beefier SUVs like 4-Runners in particular. Lighter rooftop tents can go on anything though, and you see plenty of little Subaru Crosstreks sporting them.
