Putco Molle Panel Fitment (Do Not Buy, Does Not Fit)

[SurfRanger]

Might be a long shot but does anyone know if this fits the new ranger / RR? Website says it does and ive submitted the question on the website a few days ago but no response.

Those look great, but how much weight will they safely hold? I did not see that mentioned. How many mounts does the front bed panel use?

Thanks,

The tailgate lettering they make doesn't even though they say they do.

I finally reached out over the phone, previously sent an email but got a "it fits what it says it fits on the site" answer which I wasn't happy with. Person on the phone was super helpful and double confirmed that it fits the new Ranger/RR. I have placed my order and will confirm in person. they said if by any chance there's any issues just let us know any we will refund return with no fees. but he did double check with their engineers supposedly for the bulkhead panel and the side panels.

How about now?
I sent a questions asking if it covered the outlets on the drivers side since the pictures don't show an opening for it.
Their reply was that it "Avoids the power outlet".
That sounds pretty Engrish to me.

I got the bulkhead molle panel so i cant speak for the side ones. I actually just received it a couple weeks ago but have been in europe on vacation. I’m planning to install today or tomorrow. I believe it was made to order which is why it took so long. First impressions after opening the box is it seems like it has a very nice finish. Super light, lighter than expected. I believe it mounts using some existing holes on the left and right near the tie downs and uses some rubber foot bumpers/pegs for the bottom so no drill. Ill update when i have started.

Very interested to see how this turns out. Please provide a photo or two if you get the opportunity, my concern would be installing in conjunction with the Ford Modular Bedliner. Thanks!

Meanwhile here is the instructions i got from the qr code in the box if anyone is curious. Specific to ranger.

sorry for the delays here have just been busy. DO NOT BUY THIS. I'll try to make this as short as possible.

1. I went to install the brackets as shown and the two bolt holes dont line up with any two holes/bolts on the ranger bed. 2. the top hole it shows in the instructions to mount to is covered by the plastic bed rail and the flange for the bolt hole on the bracket is not really long enough to get under the bed rail without interference also making getting a bolt on it difficult but its achievable with some prying on the plastic. with this strangeness I decided to call Putco support. They basically just told me they checked and it should only capture the top bolt hole (under the liner) and no other holes like the bed tie down ones shown in the instruction (SUPER CONFUSED at this point basically just showing me they F'd up this design). With that being said I was ok to continue and try to mount this thing...

got both brackets mounted onto the left and right side of the bed (mind u with one bolt each) and.... the molle panel is no where near fitting. mounting location is multiple inches off on the molle panel from the bracket mounts. these parts dont go together and not in this truck. just not even close.

Picture below shows just the shear level of misalignment. This is with one side aligned and looking at the other side...

 

[SurfRanger]

quality of the parts seem nice which is a huge bummer. but this thing just is not even close to working. I submitted a return request on the website last week and they never got back to me so it looks like I have to call next week... disappointed. just have to look for some other solutions now I guess. if anyone knows any bulk head molle panel solutions lmk.

the 6th gen ranger bed is wider and shorter (like an inch) than the 5th gen, this was probably never going to fit right since it was designed for a narrower space
