Can you put a tent on top of a Subaru?

Yes you can, but you must have the right roof rack system. That means, a rack system whether it’s a platform rack or cross bars, that have a dynamic weight capacity that’s equal or larger to the weight of the tent. If the roof top tent weighs 150 lbs, the dynamic weight capacity (when the vehicle is in motion), must be 150 lbs or more.

Can you camp in a Subaru?

Short answer is yes, you can try and sleep inside of it, but the best and most comfortable solution is to get a Subaru roof top tent and sort it out.

How much weight can you put in a Subaru roof?

Most Subaru car models, such as the Outback, have a dynamic roof weight capacity of 176 lbs, meaning it can carry that weight on the roof. However, when parked, that capacity can go up to over 650 lbs. This is as mentioned by Subaru themselves on their site and car guides.
