If there was ever a vehicle built for outdoor adventures, it’s the INEOS Grenadier. These models are made to go almost anywhere, which is why they are perfect for rugged road trips. Plus, the right INEOS Grenadier accessories can make every journey even better, and this includes a roof rack. This guide from MileOne INEOS Grenadier will help you utilize yours safely.
Watch Your Weight
Perhaps the most important thing to focus on when loading up your roof rack is the weight of the items you’ll put up there. This changes depending on how you’re using your vehicle. For a static load – that is, what the rack can hold when the vehicle is parked – the roof rack can hold around 800-900 pounds. This would support a rooftop tent and its occupants. When moving, the dynamic load is between 200-300 pounds. That drops even further with off-roading, as loads shouldn’t exceed 198 pounds.*
Evenly Distribute Cargo
In addition to knowing exactly how much you’re putting on your roof rack, make sure that the weight gets distributed evenly. The heaviest items need to go in the middle, and weight should be balanced side-to-side to keep it from shifting.
Secure Everything Properly
Whatever your roof rack will hold, it’s vital that everything is well secured. Instead of bungee cords – which can slip or snap – consider non-stretch tie-downs or cam straps. It’s also important to be aware of potential wind lift when traveling at higher speeds, so be sure to pull straps at opposing angles when tying cargo down. Another thing to keep in mind is clearance. Depending on where your travels take you, always be conscious of the extra height you’re carrying up top.
