Looks so good. I want just the rack, no bed cover. Even though Yakima says it doesn’t fit. Just pull the trigger? No mount issues? Adapters needed?
Sorry new to truck bed rack options.
It will fit. I don’t know why the Yakima website shows it as not compatible. Probably because there are so many different kinds of tonneau covers out there on the market. I have a 2024 Ranger lariat 4 x 4.

I had those racks on my 2005 Ranger and I found that the trailer hitch mount pickup bed extenders are easier to install and remove and work just as well. I use mine to carry kayaks and a 16 foot canoe on my 2024 Ranger STX. It works great and cost me $150. The trac-rac I had on my 2005 Ranger was about $600 then............and now , I would think alot more than I want to pay? :question:

You should have everything you need for installation in the Yakima box once it arrives (even without a bed cover). Let me know how it turns out.

What did you use for the over the cab gutter mount bases? Yakima doesn't list anything for a 24-25 Ranger.
This is my setup for over the cab:

Base Clip - 124 (B33-5) - Part #8006124 (X2)
Windshield - 46" - Part #8005018
BaseLine Towers (4-pack) - Part #8000162
HD Bars (60") - Part #8001157
HD Bar SL Adapter - Part #8003541

The setup works great. I'm super happy with the quality and durability of the Yakima products.

Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any other questions.

Don't forget to post some pics once you get it all completed!

Cheers!

So I really want this rack for my ‘25 Ranger Raptor but don’t want to use the channels. So a huge static load weight reduction or it’s a no go for the Overhaul HD? I read on another thread it had something to do with crushing the plastic rail caps? I’m really disappointed Yakima hasn’t provided a better option for 6G Ranger owners.

Are there any other bed rail rack systems that have as many accessory attachments that can be easy removed like the Overhaul HD? Rhino make such an animal? I’m looking for paddle sport gear (a canoe, kayaks and paddle boards). I’d also like a 270° bat wing canopy. I really liked the Overhaul HD for the height adjustment as well.
