Can you mount a roof top tent on a Hyundai Tucson?
Yes, you can mount a roof top tent on any Hyundai Tucson - it's strong enough to support the weight of a tent and the people in it.
However, you need to make sure that you have crossbars or a roof rack with crossbars (the ones that run from one side of the car to the other) that can handle the weight of the tent.
If you have any type of factory rack, check your owner's manual to find the dynamic weight capacity. As long as that weight is higher than the weight of the tent (you don't need to worry about your weight here) then you're good to go.
If you don't have crossbars or they can't handle the weight of the tent you want, you will need to buy Hyundai Tucson cross bars. Aftermarket crossbars start around $300 and full fledged roof racks go up to about $1500.
We're happy to help if you have questions on this.
Hyundai Tucson Roof Top Tents FAQ
Can you put a roof top tent on a Hyundai Tucson?
Yes, you can put a roof top tent on a Tucson. But to install a roof top tent on your Hyundai Tucson, you will need a roof rack with crossbars, or standalone crossbars, that can handle the weight of the tent. Crossbars are the ones that go from one side of the car to the other.
Do these roof top tents come with mattresses, or do I need to buy one separately?
Each of the Hyundai Tucson roof top tents seen above includes a comfortable mattress. If you're used to camping in a ground tent, you'll notice a considerable improvement in comfort.
How long does it take to set these tents up?
These roof top tents can be set up and taken down in 1-5 minutes. Hard shell tents are much faster - right around 1 minute usually. Soft shell tents are a bit slower - closer to 5 minutes.
Can my car handle a roof top tent?
If you have a Hyundai Tucson, then yes, your car can handle a roof top tent. But you will need a roof rack or crossbars that can handle a tent too. Make sure that the dynamic weight capacity of the crossbars is greater than the weight of the tent you're interested in.
How much weight can a Hyundai Tucson roof hold?
To determine how much weight your Hyundai Tucson can hold, it's important to check your owner's manual. Don't believe what your read online as even Hyundai Tucsons from the same year can vary. The manual will likely give you a dynamic weight capacity. As long as the tent is lighter than the dynamic weight capacity, you'll be good to go. We've recommended mostly lighter weight tents here to accomodate for all models.
Does a warranty cover these roof top tent?
Yes, each roof top tent on our list is backed by a manufacturer's warranty.
