Roof Rack Capacity 22 XLT

[WolverineXLT]

Hey Guys.

So as I mentioned in my intro post, just picked up the new XLT and safe to say we are in love. LOL. That being said, I was reviewing the owner's manual (2nd time through, I know, i'm a glutton for punishment) lol and noticed the roof rack capacity with a moon roof is only 75 pounds....I'm sure its something structural with the fact a moon roof is in there.

Tad disappointed with that as we are a family of 5 and could easily go over 75 pounds with a carrier on there. Kind of illogical to ask if anyone has broken the manufacturer recommendation and gotten away with heavier but I guess thats what im asking. LOL TIA
