If you mount the tracks outboard of the rain gutter, the roof will hold a LOT of weight. Once you get up there and start looking at it, you'll see this outboard section is a structural member of the truck. Multiple layers of steel folded inside to make it very strong. This is the section that keeps the top of the truck from collapsing if you roll the truck.

My roof rack weighs about 70 lbs. empty and is always loaded down with a 60 lb. high lift, and a shovel and axe for another 10 lbs. or so. The rack I own also has a spare tire attachment and those weight about 85 pounds with the rim.

Answer is the roof rack, if properly attached to the roof will hold at least 200-300 pounds if you distribute it evenly.

Regards,

John
