    So, I just got a 2021 TRD Pro and have a couple of Gazelle tents that, if bungeed/tied down on the rack, would exceed its length by about a foot. The rack seems to have enough clearance to keep the tent from contacting the sunroof but I’m wondering if the roof rack is simply too small.
    Any advice?

    I don't know much, but have heard these pro racks tends to bend and not hold weight very well. It may sag and you'll end up touching.

    Many with many more to go
    Ignore the above. Your rack is fine to hold it but sounds like an upgrade is in your near future to do it right. Gazelles are long when stored, but not heavy. You are more than fine. Around 30lbs for the T4 if memory serves...

    The Pro roof rack weight limit per Toyota is 120lbs.
    Oddly enough, the common roof rack with two crossbars is 132lbs.
