Checkout the Kuat Ibex system. Looks sick, but I have not gotten one myself. I am still in the market. Yakima has a good looking system too. Do some research if your truck was built before July 2024. If so there is a weight limit on the top of gunnels that requires a fix kit.
From my research, rack install is only an issue on 01/2024 - 07/2024 Rangers due to a lack of structural integrity inside bed rails… that can be remedied by installing J-braces. HOWEVER, I cannot find any information from Ford that states what the top-of-bed-rails max capacity increases TO once...
This was covered in another thread, but is the hardware for 360 cameras literally not installed if not ‘included’ in an XLT or might the option just be disabled in software? My 2024 XLT (bought pre-owned) has almost all other options including power in both front seats.
Yes!!! Just yesterday but only when applying brakes. It was kind of a plastic rattling noise. I thought it might be ice related due all the snow we’ve had out east. I have not investigated yet.
Yup, a top the bed gunnels is how I described where the load is mounted. Can you please cite your sources for the ‘well north of 500lb’ claim? As I said, I cannot not find an official statement of this new load rating from Ford. I am working with THULE to assess the use of their new Xscape rack...
Thanks!! I just down-sized from an F-350 with an 8' bed to a barely 5' bed. So now I have no choice but to hang my bike's off the back... so I need to buy one of these wraps... that I am not a big fan of because I suspect road debris get between the wrap and painted tailgate and scratches to...
Hi TripleAliners,
New product idea: Make a fully molded rubber version of this type of product that protects the inside and outside of a tailgate when storing mtn bikes over the tailgate. I am an industrial designer and mountain biker and can help you develop and test it. I have a 2024 Ranger...
I understand the original 6G bed was not rated to support more than 88lbs atop the gunnels. However, once the Ford OEM J Braces are installed, what is the new rating? I cannot find this stat anywhere.
