What do you think about this advice from Overland Pros?

My email:

>Hi! We have a 2020 Subaru Forester. Would the Baja Vertical Wedge tent be appropriate and safe for our vehicle? We would be using it with Thule Wingbar Evo. The owners manual of our Forester says the maximum dynamic weight is 176lbs.

Their response:

>You'd be pretty close to that and potentially over. You have to decide for yourself if you're comfortable with that or not. Most people, including myself have gone over that limit without an issue. If you're a hard set at staying under that limit I would suggest you look at one of our soft shell tents instead

The tent in question:

What do you think?

edit: Important context! We received a Baja Vertical Wedge from Overland Pros as a gift. Initially, it seemed like we would be fine using it. But inspecting it closer reveals that the tent alone (not counting any mounting hardware) is 175lbs. So, on paper, we would be around 10 or 15lbs over our dynamic weight limit as stated by Subaru.

So we're torn on what to do at this point.
