The Wedgetail Adventure platform for the Ascent

The Wedgetail Adventure platform for the Ascent canopy is made for the ARB Ascent on the 2022 on Ford Ranger dual cab. It bolts to the OE holes, is powder coated aluminium with glass reinforced nylon, and has a warranty of 10 years. A wind deflector is included. Its rating is in the table above and on the product page, and it holds that rating 100% off-road.

Oval Steel ARB Ascent combination racks

Oval Steel is the steel range under Wedgetail: zinc electroplated steel, powder coated. It lists ARB Ascent combination racks for the Ranger, HiLux, D-MAX, Triton, Colorado and Amarok, plus the Oval Steel ARB Ascent combination rack for the 2020 on Mazda BT-50. Most mount on a drilled rail; some use a rail utilising the OEM fixtures, and the 2023 on Amarok rack bolts to the OE holes.

Warranty is 5 years on most and shorter on a few, and the Oval Steel Ascent racks for the 2022 on Ranger show no published rating. The product page for each rack has its own figures, so check it, or ask a stockist, before you order.

Ascent or ARB Classic

The ARB Ascent and the ARB Classic are different canopies with different mounting points, and a rack for one does not fit the other. The product name says which canopy each rack is for. For the Classic, and every ARB fitment on one page, see roof racks for an ARB canopy.

How much weight a rack on an Ascent can carry

• The rack rating: one dynamic rating per Wedgetail solution, shown in the tables above and on each product page, held 100% off-road. Static is 3.5 x dynamic.
• ARB's roof rating: ARB's Ascent page says the dynamic weight of its canopies with internal support is between 100 kg and 150 kg and static between 350 kg and 400 kg, depending on the vehicle model. ARB describes the Ascent's internal support system as optional, so check the figure for your canopy with ARB.
• The lower figure applies. The rack's own weight, the accessories and the load all count towards it.

For a rooftop tent, the tent on the move goes against the dynamic figures and the tent plus occupants parked goes against the static figures, on the rack and the canopy alike. See rooftop tent on a ute canopy.
