Thanks! I'm actually having a Super Pacific XI installed. Was hoping that Ford would sell the shims as an accessory. When I was talking Ford I just said I was going to buy the Leer, since it can be purchased through Ford. I didn't expect Ford to say the canopy manufacturer will provide the...
I spoke with Ford Accessories today and asked if Ford provides shims or has shims as an accessory if I buy a Leer canopy through Ford. They responded back, according to a Ford engineer, 'The canopy on the Ford website is by LEER specifically for Ranger. LEER would provide what is needed for the...
Just had mine installed. Ordered the bars from Ford and installed at Ford dealer. Ford dealer said save your receipts in case Ford issues a reimbursement notice. Ford already reimbursed those who bought a cover and had the bars installed through Ford.
Yes it is!! Basically, the 2024 Ranger bed rails are a light protective, decorative cover. If you want to install a camper/topper, then you have to come up with your own shims. Ford does not sell the shims. Companies like GFC install their own shims to attach a camper to.
If you had J brackets...
It's not as much about the mounting, it's the camper sitting on top of the bed rails. Super Pacific (camper company) is aware, but they don't have a solution, other than making their own shims. The toughest part is no one from Ford has answers. The dealer had not seen the warning message on the...
The reinforcement braces are needed if you mount anything over 88 pounds. I just had those installed. Myself and the dealer are puzzled why the bed rail caps say don't mount anything. Yet, there is nothing put out from Ford saying what is the alternative mounting procedure/process.
I just purchased a 2024 Ranger XLT (non-Raptor) and the truck bed rails say "do not install accessories onto the molding". I asked my Ford dealer body shop manager about it and he has not heard of that, as toppers and tent campers are mounted directly onto the molding. With that said, some...
My Ford dealer never talked about the 'run-in' period when we bought our '24 Ranger. However, when we bought our Subaru Outback a couple years ago the dealer recommended to NOT use cruise control for the first 1000 miles, and don't stomp on the accelerator (unless in an emergency). Something...
Could it be the bed reinforcement bars? I thought I heard Ford was going to start installing those at the factory. I ordered the reinforcement bars two weeks ago from Ford and they still have not arrived at the dealer to install.
Does anyone know if there is a solid (no need for shims) aftermarket bedrail cap for a 2024 Ranger XLT? I am planning on sealing my bedrail cap before having a Super Pacfic X1 installed. My concern is if I seal the caps now, water will come in through the holes where the shims will go. I'm...
