Saab says 165 for max weight. It's the Draw-tite that is rated at 300, but warns not to exceed the auto recommendations.
While we're at it, I think the roof can hold 220 lbs.
I have a Thule 665 Transporter hitch box that I use for bulky stuff I'd normally stick onto the roof. Mine tilts out of the way of the wagon door, which isn't exactly convenient if you need access to the back of the wagon very often. The "swing-away" type weighs more. My box weighs a bit more than 50 pounds (vs. 40 for the roof type), so I get in about 100 pounds of stuff. It usually ends up being a stroller and other bulky baby stuff.
