What’s out there for headache racks and bed rails that fit Rangers?

[cc1999]

Having a hard time finding headache racks and bed rails for mid size trucks in general.
Almost nothing turning up for a Ranger specifically.

I did find this DeeZee which some websites show it fits others show it’s not fit, I believe it would fit.

Also found these GoRhino bed rails.

‘I would really like to see more options if there are any.

Main goal is protecting the back of the cabs, more higher and easy to reach tie-down points to stabilize taller loads. Plus a solid bed rail is nice when getting up in and out of your bed a lot.

This is one of our business F150s and the setup I am really looking to come up with for the Rangers I bought this week. This is a Backrack setup, but seems they don’t offer it for mid-size trucks.

Way back I had 2000 Ranger stepside, Protec built a custom one for it, looked really sharp!

It looks like Backrack does have a product for mid-size trucks. For some reason it doesn’t show compatible with 24-26 model. It does show compatibility with the 2023 and prior version of the 5th gen Ranger .

Some sites show their bed rack products would fit both 5th and 6th gen Rangers.

Anyone see or know reason why this would not fit a 25 model Ranger.

I didn’t find a pic of one on a 6th gen Ranger systems, but did find a video I screen caped it on a Colorado.

The Rack on my 24 Ranger Raptor is a custom fab rack that I originally had made for my 2016 Colorado. I did have to have the bed rails shortened since the Colorado has 5.6 bed and the Ranger had a 5.1 bed . The headache rack area was pretty much a dead on perfect fit.

Here is that same rack back in 2016 on my Colorado

I also found this instal video of the Backrack on a 22 model Ranger.
Looks like it should work.
‘Anyone see a conflict or difference in the 22 models bed and a 25 models , in regards to the specific area this rack mounts.

Awesome!
‘Would love to see pics of how it looks on a 6th gen Ranger.
‘Would you have any pics of your truck you could share here.

‘Been searching all over the webs trying to find pics of different racks on 6th Gen rangers.
‘About the only one that occasionally pops up is my Ranger Raptor. lol

That’s an excellent find. Thank you !


‘Looks like they have the hand rails too.

‘Looks like this rack system used to be called Multy Rack .

I used a set of Truxedo T-rails mounted with the stake pocket pucks and mounted the Dee Zee to them.

Very nice .
‘Thanks for the pics !

Looks like Magnum truck racks has one for the Ranger.

I still really intrigued by this Multy Rack / Channel-lock rack system.
‘Can’t seem to find any pics of one on a Ranger but was able to create a few pics in use on a mid-size truck, via screenshots from YT marketing videos.

Since I know, I need the bed rails, and this seems to be the only rack offered with the hand rails as a comprehensive system, and I do like the full coverage of the back glass. I think I am leaning toward trying this Channe-lock rack system.

Anyone have the the Multy Rack / Channel-lock rack setup on a 6th gen Ranger?
Would love to see pics of one on a Ranger. Also not sure which mounting setup would be best.

Thanks again everyone.
Feel free to keep this thread going as more options come about.
Would love to see them and keep an eye out for new products along this headache rack topic.

I did go ahead and place an order for a couple of these Channel-lock rack systems with the handrails today.

No, not on these two, these two are for a couple of my salesmen, they will mainly be used for hauling our products as needed. Which is bulkier then heavy and dropping from 6.5ft bed F150s to 5ft bed rangers we are going to need every available inch of floor space.
These two trucks would have had to stay F150s had Ford not designed this latest generation Ranger with 4ft of space between the wheel wells. Meaning we can set a standard 4ft pallet in the bed of this ranger, which I believe these Ranger are the only Mid-sizers that can accommodate a standard 4ft pallet on the bed floor.
